I'm just kidding. I'm happy to be here. The place looks great, obviously well organized. I actually joined because I was just so damn amused by the ripping of a certain piece I am not sure I am aloud to name (lets just refer to it as the precious).

I'm assuming these will be the standard questions, so I will answer them.

What do you write? - I write Poetry and Realistic Fiction ((currently working on a novel, Perpetual Genesis. I will post once I earn my keep through a few critiques first)).

What are your favorite books? - I know this is shocking, jarring, and all that, but, for a writer, I really don't like to read much ((wow... run-on much?)). That being said my favorites are The Giver, Old Man and the Sea, Slaughterhouse V ((I usually hate sci-fi but...)), and The Communist Manifesto ((if only for the economic impact it has had on our world today)).

Uhm.... well.... for some reason I'm drawing a blank. If anyone else has any other questions then feel free to ask, if not, then I hope I have fun here and I will PM the mods and admins if I have any questions.

Oooh, I like you, with your rule reading and your PMing of mods.

Excited for when you post your work. Also, now I'm curious as to what "ripped" story you're referring to. A hint? A little hint? I'm too curious for this.

Anyway, Welcome to YWS. I hope you like it here. I know I love it.

Feel free to PM me. I'm the friendly, always-around Clo. I'm old and wise (not really).

CoreMeltDown, eh? You sound very interesting ^.^ Nice to meetcha! I'm Lupe and I have come to say 'Welcome to YWS!'

You're definitely not the one of the usual people we get here who haven't the slightest idea as to what they're doing here. You know how boards work and you jumped right in. Good! Make friends, offer help, ask for it, critique, and write like there's no tomorrow. You'll fit right in here ^.^

Well, I've said all there is to say I believe. If you need any help navigating PM me. I'm not exactly a Mod but I know my way around. Nice to meet you and have a good day =P

Welcome to the family,
Lupe

Junior mod here, thought I'd tip my hat to you and holler a friendly welcome. Hey there! Haha. Would that be a lord of the rings reference I wonder? Or is my head just too filled with tolkien for my own good ;) Feel free to say what you like so long as it isn't offensive to any member and you keep it kid friendly.

Don't worry too much about over-stepping freedom of speech rules. We'll let you know if you go too far ;) But you seem to know your stuff so I'm sure you'll fit right in.

I've not met too many writers who weren't huge readers actually but that just makes you a more interesting person and hey, why not? There are plenty of readers out there who aren't writers. Where would be the market if there weren't? Afterall, as much as a writer enjoys the work of others, isn't it true that his (or her) own work is the priority?

But ah I digress! Lovely to have met your acquaintance. Pm me if you have nee or anything and I hope you enjoy the site. See you around,

Hey there! Welcome to YWS! I'm Jared, BBB, BigBadBear, or any combination therof. How do you do?

Yeah.

YWS is so addicting, man. It should be illegal cause it's so addicting. But then again, I couldn't live without my daily dose of YWS. It would kill me.

That's how addictive it is.

Anyway dude, welcome. You'll love this site.

Please be sure to check out the rules and stuff, or mods'll get mad at you. And critique 2 things before you post 1 thing. Just a common rule.

That's all I have to say. ^_^ Cya around, dude.

Just write -- the rest of life will follow.

Would love help on this.

Welcome to the site! You sound like you'll be a joy to have around! Although I honestly have to say your affinity for using double brackets ((makes my eyes feel weird)). :lol:


If you have any questions or need help finding something, feel free to message me! Your genre of writing sounds pleasing. It takes me hours to do a fiction critique, but I can try to sink my teeth into your poetry!

Enjoy the site. ^_~

Dude, I was *totally* impressed. :P

Actually... that certain ripping of the story or poem may have been because of SPEW? We're an editing group that can act like a piranha fish school at times, LOL. And that's all I can say about that usergroup. It's very... secretive. ;)

Anyway, I like the books you've mentioned. Weird books that make you think? Yup! I'm on that one. Hopefully, I'll create a sci fi that you like. ;)

See you around!

Well thanks for all the warm welcomes guys. I'm sure once I find my niché around here I'll be out of your hair, but until then I will be testing out everything so just consider me like a blackhead that can never be covered up. If you can assure me a symbiotic relationship I'll be all good =p.

Yes, I know, I use double brackets alot. I'm sorry to say but it won't end any time soon =p

((I also like =p that smiley and >.< that smiley))
