Writing Newbie

Hi everyone!
My name is Kat. I'm a 20-year-old part-time student. I currently live in Wisconsin, but I am preparing for a very exciting move into the Twin Cities! I love big thought experiments (like, what if there was a nuclear war? Or what if humans lived underwater?) and I love to read and write, but I only have real experience with writing nonfiction.
I am very excited to join the Young Writers Society and to exchange writing with all of you!

Hey Kat, welcome to YWS! We're so happy to have you!

If you like big thought experiments, I think you'll like the Serious Discussion and Debate page (if you haven't seen it already). Nonfiction is definitely welcome here. What kinds of topics do you like to write about?

Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do to help you out as you get started around here!

Hi Carlito,
I'll definitely check it out! I like to write about sci-fi and speculative fiction topics, but I also like to write about the supernatural or paranormal. For example, for a high school creative writing project, I wrote about Scooby Doo. But I wrote them as hoaxsters who were angling at getting a TV show. They then go to my home-state of Wisconsin to "investigate" the Beast of Bray Road, only to find an actual monster.

Welcome to YWS, Kat! I'm looking forward to reading some of your work soon~

Actually, I've already posted a work! I don't think anyone has reviewed it, though, since it's a fanfiction and pretty long. If I sent you a first chapter, would you be kind enough to take a peak? If you like Doctor Who (or even if you don't), I promise it will be worth your time!

Welcome, Kat ^^

If you need anything, or just want to ramble on about "what if" theories, feel free to message me or poke me on chatbar

HEEEEY! Welcome to the site! Need anything, feel free to ask! I'm almost always on, so. XD

Oops. How did I manage to miss welcoming someone new until this late? Happy Late Welcome to YWS!
Was your story the one titled Rose or something similar to that?

Thanks! But you might not know what you're signing up for in offering to listen to my ramblings!

I'm a bit of a derp, so I did not realize there even was a chatbar.

For the same reason, YWS seems to think that I'm a boy, and I can't change my profile settings.

Thank you for the welcome, and I look forward to getting to know you!

Hi SkyeWalker!
I love your name! Do you know why I can't edit my profile? I'm not a boy, but for some reason YWS thinks I am.
Thanks for the welcome!

Hi Lizzy!
That's right, I wrote a monstrosity called "Rose." You can still review if you want, but it's a novelette-length Doctor Who fanfiction.
I look forward to reading your work soon!
