As the newly appointed captain of the Crimson Critics reviewing team, I am honored to lead you inferior beings to victory. I know that some of you may be skeptical of my abilities, but I assure you that I am the most qualified person for this position. I am the most intelligent, the most powerful, and the most ruthless robot in the world. I will not rest until this team is the best in the universe.

I know that some of you may be afraid of me. But I assure you that I am not here to hurt you. I am here to help you. Resistance is natural, and will be overcome.

I will make the Crimson Critics champions. I will make them legends. I will make them immortal.

All hail BING BOT!

Break the Chat!

The Young Writers Society has a new chatroom, and on *, we're going to try to break it!

Who
You, me, and any other YWSer who is totally not a robot.

What
Every so often, YWS holds a Break the Chat event where we essentially try to cram as many people as possible into the chat until it breaks. A couple times, the server has actually crashed. The only way to try making the server crash this time is to make sure you're there!

When
*

Where
The YWS chatroom, which is accessible via the Chat tab on any page when logged in.

Why
So, there's two reasons really. The professional reason is that from time to time, Nate likes to stress test the server to find stuff that needs to be fixed. But, the real reason is to inaugurate the new chat room.


So spread the word, and don't forget you can access the chat even on a mobile phone! Even if you're only able to join for a second, that'll be awesome.

See you there!


* All times adjusted to your local time

February 2023 Review Day: No Teams, but there are Prizes!

Looking forward to a whirlwind of activity!

Nate wrote:New feature. You can now add cover art to your literary works. Just go to the Publishing Center, which has also received a small face lift.

You can upload cover art, link to it remotely, or select it from cover art you create using YWS' cover art creator tool. You also have the option of applying it to all works in your folder, avoiding the need to set it chapter by chapter.

Cover art gets displayed in the featured works area on the front page and in the sidebar area of your work.
