    Okay, we can take suggestions on that :) We now have firstly aliens. I suggest a rival team from NASA has also landed and sabotaged the mission. Turf war!

    Okay, here is where it gets complicated for me. In South Africa, after many years of cruel oppression, the black majority of the country has been liberated (1994). The problems ...

    Find the cutest one and cuddle it. What would a boy do if he got stuck up a tree and couldn't get down?

    Good idea, but it's all up to the others and what they're planning. In the perfect team, there'd be many different nationalities and levels of English, as well as an ...

    The tension between your characters is perfect :) especially when they get crammed into a little spaceship together! Annabeth is very innocent, but Lansdorp adores her and if she smiles ...

    @KatKage, you're in! Sorry, I didn't make my age restriction clear enough! I've edited it to rule out ambiguity. But MarsOne only accepts applications from people who are legally independent ...

Way, way back in the 1988 Presidential election, then Vice President George H W Bush had a phrase he liked to use: "A Thousand Points of Light." It refers to the idea that a community is made up of people who contribute in a thousand, different small ways, but with each helping to illuminate their community. It's a phrase I think about a lot when it comes to YWS. Looking forward, the site will continue to change and grow, but it will always remain a community dedicated to promoting creative writing as a favorite pastime.
