Hey, you can call me Lucas. I'm a new member, and I'm quite impressed with this site! I'm 16, I live in Canada, and I love writing. I've got one short story published in a children's anthology when I was 12. I've entered a few other writing contests, but no other success as of yet. I can't wait to be published and on the mainstream market! My first book would either be a short story collection or a fantasy novel masterpiece. Anyway, just thought I should introduce myself!

Welcome to YWS. ^_^ I can't wait to read some of your stuff! Just wander around, review some things, post some things...just generally knock yourself out. See you around the boards!
Graffiti is the most passionate form of literature there is.
Thanks for the reception... I really enjoy reading just general fiction, but especially fantasy. I'll also read interesting nonfiction... I love facts about mythology, civilizations, and just random trivia. Writing fiction is definitely my strength. I like to hide mythology or just stuff I find interesting in my stories. I've found that writing horror and fantasy are very fun, but I could get a weird idea about any genre for something to write. I also write some poetry. In my free time I listen to music, read, do archery, kyokushin karate, and play the alto saxophone. I look forward to reviewing other people's writing and sharing some of my own!

Welcome to YWS. I'm Rick. I hope you enjoy the site as much as we all do. After you get 25 reviews, you can access the YWS chatroom and talk about any work you're doing, ask for crits for anything, ask anyone if they have something they want/need critted, and/or just hang out in and talk about your day. Before you post your own work, you need atleast two crits. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions/concerns about anything.
