Pleased to meet you all! My name is Simen and this is my first time here; I look forward to getting to know you all and read some interesting stories, as well as share some of my own. Just thought that I should pop in and say hello, so...heeyy!
Hi there Simen. I'm called Cobra. Welcome to YWS! It can be slightly confusing at first so if you need any help, you can PM me.
The corpses are piled high around. Blood carpets the floor and flames scorch away the last remnants of humanity. The screams of the damned echo in my head. I smile. I am home.
Hey Simen! I'm Mizz Iceberg. Hope you're liking YWS so far. It is an awesome, awesome site. But if you need any help feel free to PM me or any other greeter (the ones with their names in blue) or a moderator (green).
Make sure you check out the guides, rules and FAQs if you haven't already.
So tell us more about yourself. What are your interests? Favourite genre? Favourite music? Food? Book? Writer?
Toodles for now.

Thank you all for your warm welcome! I`m sure I`ll like it here!
A little about myself, hmm, shouldn`t be that hard.
I started writing about 4 years ago in high school, where I spent most time I had noting down small outlines or plot-ideas (in retrospect maybe I should have spent the time, i don`t know, studying?) Anyways, the time was well spent in my eyes, and I started out writing for real about 2 years ago. So far I have finished one short story in English, and I`m now working on a longer Drama novel in my mother tongue, which is Norwegian. I usually write sci-fi mysteries, thrillers, and I have experimented with different types of narrative just for the heck of it. But if I want people to read my works in Norway, I have to write in Norwegian, which is a pisser, seeing as how I REALLY like writing in English.
Other than that I`m a musician, mainly bassist, but I try to maintain my guitar-skills as well as I can.
My favourite book at the moment is Aldous Huxley`s "Brave New World." I absolutely LOVE that book, hence my nickname here. Have anyone of you ever read it?
Ah! Brave New World has been on my reading list forever, I just never have time to read it (yeah, a lit major who doesn't have time to read... sounds about right!). But! Scifi! Happiness and joy!
But welcome to the insanity! We don't (usually) bite (hard). If you have any questions about the site, feel free to PM me! I'm generally up for a chat (and a quick distraction from my reading pile!)

Medieval Lit! Come here to find out who Chaucer plagiarized and translated - and why and how it worked in the late 1300s.
Hell, John the Savage! I love your username. I had to read BNW over the summer for my lit class. I cannot say it was the best novel I've ever read, although the ideas in it were awesome. It lacks things for me, but in general, it's fun!
If you have any questions or need something, feel free to message me! I hope you enjoy the site and make some friends. And do don't be so savage. ^_~
