Young Writers Society

Happy birthdayyy!

heyyyy!!

Hiya Gentechian, welcome to YWS! ^-^ This is a wonderful place for readers, writers, poets, roleplayers, and just people in general, and we're thrilled you're here! Here are some quick links you might want to check out:

FAQ for New Users This post lists the basics of publishing and reviewing works on YWS.
Official YWS Rules & Guides Here are our site rules. Essentially, please be a decent person and be considerate of others. :]
Knowledge Base This is a treasure trove of helpful articles about poetry, writing, reviewing, and more. One useful thread is the Big Book of YWS Codes, which is a guide to the bbcode that you can use on YWS to add colors, images, and more! Plus, see the list of icons (like ) here and the list of smilies (like and ) here.
Review Tips This post has links to a ton of resources on reviewing. Reviews are how we give and receive feedback on our works on YWS! Please do not use AI or copy-paste reviews, as most writers are looking for unique human feedback. ^^ I know reviewing can be tough sometimes, especially if you feel like there's nothing to critique, but it gets easier with practice! And here is a great resource for reviewing writers more skilled than you.

Along with reviewing other ywsers' works and publishing your own works, you can have some fun in the Randomosity forums, join a roleplay, hang out on the People tab, or just explore the site. And of course, feel free to ask me or any moderator (junior or global) any questions you have! (You can hit the little black arrow below this post to reply right now.) I hope you'll like it here! =D

Welcome to YWS! My name is Ellie. So nice to meet you! I really enjoyed reading the piece you posted today. Hope to see you around here and get to read more of what you write soon! take care!

Hey there Gentechian! Welcome to the YoungWritersSociety!!

It’s always nice to have a new member here =) If you like writing stories✍🏽, role playing 🎭, scribbling down poems 🌸or perhaps just enjoy reading 📚, this is the place for you!

This link definitely answered a lot of my curious and nosy questions when I first came to YWS, let’s hope it does the same for you( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) FAQ for New Users . Don’t forget to also pay those Official YWS Rules & Guides a visit.

If you have written something you want to share, this is how it works:
~ You can publish your work with 200 points each time.
~ How do you earn these points? Well, that’s easy… You write a review! In the greenroom.php all of the new works end up, so you get some bonus points if you review one of them. >ᴗ<
~ But remember “Quality > Quantity” It is better to write one good review than to write 7 quick reviews. Not only will you earn more points, but you'll be more helpful!
~ Spam reviews make baby chickens cry 🐣: Avoiding Review Spam
~If you don’t know where to start, check out the
The YWS Critique Sandwich or the Knowledge base

Here are some pretty dope and fun🎉 links:
~ The Big Book of YWS Codes : This book is full spells how to place codes, colours, headlines, links and some more magical things. =)
~ The People's tab is a great place to get to know some other YWS-ers
~ The Randomisity forum is a fun place to play games and literally just have fun!
For example Type Your Username With Your Elbow or take part in The Excuse Game !

If you need help/ have any questions at all, feel free to contact me or any Junior moderators, other global moderators, or an administrator.
I’m sure everyone will be more than happy to help you out! =)
