Welcome to the YWS. We are more than happy to review pieces you post.
Keep in mind that there are two major guidelines you should use when making posts:
(1) Proper grammar and spelling are a must--this is, after all, a writing site; if you want us to care about your stories, show us that you care enough to give them a proper edit and comb-through.
(2) Reviewing others' work on the site is a great way to get reviews. Not only do you make yourself known to other writers, you also indicate the type of stories you will be posting which will generate interest for your piece.
I hope you find your stay here symbiotic.
All the best,
Brad

I hate to repeat Incandescence, but I'm a bitter old bat (okay, not old, but definately bitter), and I'm naturally leery of anyone who flounces in, proclaims themselves to be "great story writer," but uses chatspeak.
Maybe you're really good, but just being lazy. I don't know. Like I said, bitter.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way - hi, I'm Meep, fellow n00b and procrastinator extrodinaire. What can I do for you?
Hullo! I hope you have a good stay here. And I have to second err...third? What Incandescence said. It's hard to believe someone's a great writer when they use chatspeak in their forum posts.
But I'm just picky.
So, welcome!

Sadly i agree with everyone else. I was like this when i first joined, but now i know better, welcome anyway.

People say I love you all the time - when they say, ‘take an umbrella, it’s raining,’ or ‘hurry back,’ or even ‘watch out, you’ll break your neck.’ There are hundreds of ways of wording it - you just have to listen for it, my dear. — John Patrick, The Curious Savage
