That was a long subject line...


Anyway, I just got my [last] issue of Writer's Digest, and saw that it had the 100 best websites for writers in it. So I flipped as quickly as I could and scanned the pages...there we were! I was overwhelmed with joy. This will mean a big influx of new members I'm sure (thats how I figured this place existed) and I believe it is the second time we've made it in?

Created for the young writer, this site is an online community where kids, tweens, and teens can share work, chat, create a blog, join usergroups and much more. The site also has its own monthly publication called the Squills E-Zine, complied of members' work


Talk about a plug for squills, eh? I thought it was great.

I'm looking forward to the new mass of people coming in saying "I came from WDs article!" and I'm really glad we won!

What rank did we make it?


There aren't ranks. It's just the best 100 put in there randomly. It's not really like a top 100 list, more of a top 100....group? I have no idea.

But I was excited ^_^

Woot! I was wondering whether we made it or not, and ordered my own copy today just to find out. But that's awesome! Especially the plug for Squills!

This makes me very happy :P

This requires cake for everyone.

And a very special thanks to our glorious admins (and to the lovely Squills). ^_^

I saw the note in my Writers Digest, too, but it would appear that Till got ahead of me in posting a thread. ^_~
