Young Writers Society

Sorry for the silence! Had five days of Comic Con over here in Cape Town, so have been very busy the last two weeks, helping with con-prep, and the actual con itself XD

Was awesome! Got to support a lot of amazing artists, got a gorgeous new set of dice for our current DnD character, and got to hang out with some of our awesome friends We don't go in cosplay, as we are usually the handler for our friends, carrying bags, making sure everyone stays hydrated, taking photos, etc, so can't really dress in cosplay and do that

Now, to save up money to go to ComicCon Africa later this year XD

hey pilgrims! this is momo (you probably remember me as LordMomo or MomoMajesty). i had missed your return to yws, so just wanted to pop in and say it's good to have you all back! :)

The mighty Elder Phoenix Ninatoq, the Emanator of Fire, was reborn last night in our latest DnD session Our players were desperately protecting the phoenix egg in an active volcano while fighting one of the four main antagonists of the campaign, but then ended up rebirthing the Elder Phoenix instead (only almost dying in the process XD). They had one round left before the rising lava wouldve started becoming a serious threat (those dotted lines are the rings of the lava rising each round), so it was definitely a tense affair XD

One of our players paints all the minis for our group, so when I found this phoenix figurine at a Ren Fair, we just knew we had to buy it so we could use it in our campaign

You never realise how much you use a letter until that letter breaks on your keyboard XD Of all the letters that could decide to no longer want to work, the letter P (along with the key for quotation marks) has proven quite annoying to have to work around.

And while we can just copy a p from somewhere else and just keep pasting it (like we did now), it becomes annoying when you need a capital p, or if we need to use apostrophes or quotation marks, since we can only have one of them copied at any time -_-

hello!! i actually don't think i've met you all before xD so it's very nice to meet you, The PatchworkPilgrims! i saw your previous names in your signature, and i must say, the alliteration is excellent

We started a new story arc in the DnD group we play in on Sundays (the only one we are a player in. We DM both our other groups XD). New character is a Centaur Druid/Sorcerer, and already they have almost accidentally caused the destruction of the food supplies of a port town

Interested to see how this character plays, as she is so much different from our previous one (who retired at the end of the last arc)

Hey everyone!!! We have created our first Storybook in years to celebrate our return to the site!

If you would be interested in joining, please take a look over here. This Totally Normal Neighborhood is sure to be filled with very intriguing characters

Gosh it felt nice setting up and writing a new Storybook after so long!

hello !! it's nice to meet some oldies!!

Happy Cake day

Happy Yws-iversary!!! I hope you have an amazing day! 🎂🕯️

HAPPY CAKEDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY CAKEDAY TO YOU!
HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS EMOJI CAKEEE 🎂🎂🎂
HAPPY CAKEDAY TO U

Oh heck. We hadn't even noticed that we returned so close to our actual cake day XD To think that 11 years ago, we stumbled upon this wonderful site while sitting at the library computers wasting time waiting for our ride to choir rehearsal.

True, we only really became active a year later when we started venturing into Storybooks for the first time. Little did we know that we would fall in love with that style of writing, and get sucked into a world of pure imagination.

We hope to return to Storybooks eventually. We just need to reacquaint ourself with how everything operates, but yeee.

Happy cake day!

Dusts off the old tomes and bones. Looks around the Magical Broomcloset and sighs with nostalgia.

My my, what a surprise this will be for those few souls who still remember us (and are still around to actually remember us XD). It has been... 3? 4 years? Since we last ventured these hallowed halls, and much has happened in those years.

We got a job as a teacher for special needs high school kids end of 2021. It was great initially, and we loved working with the kids and teaching, like we had done when we were at university. However, after a year of working with kids, each with their own challenges and special needs, and getting no support from upper management, we got mentally drained and left to a new job, where we have been since.

That new job has also had its ups and its downs. While we have learned a lot from this job, and gained experience in countless of valuable skills, we are currently in the process of looking on to newer pastures, where we hope we can finally be happy.

We also fell in love. Hard. It felt amazing, but also painful, since sadly while our love was sincere, it was not reciprocated, and eventually changed instead into the love one has for a close friend. We have recently fallen in love yet again, and this time it feels more real... more tangible... more alive.

And it is because of that that we have returned here Having only known this beautiful soul for a short while now, we have felt all our passions and hobbies reignite. We have started writing again, after two years of almost no writing. We have started working on a completely new world for our tabletop Rpg games. We have started singing and making music again. We have started pursuing our hobby in photography to potentially turn it into a career. We have started cosplaying again. Heck we have even gone iceskating again for the first time in five years...
All because of one person.

And thats the gist of why we have returned. We will admit that we have missed this site, which we once called home, a lot over the years, and hope that this time we can actually make it stick XD I know many of those who knew us have moved on by now most likely, but if you are still here, hello old friends. We have missed you all.

Happy birthdayyy!!
