I just joined.

Hello, my name is Mutant. I just joined here. You probably won't see any very large projects from me- just short stories and maybe a small bit of poetry. I have one character who I'm trying to form a plot around at the moment, but I'm struggling, so it may be a while before I put up any writing.
But I'll certainly be posting on the forums. So, er... Hello. ^^

It's nice to meet you, Mutant. Remember to read the rules, and you should be all right.

Thanks for the greeting.
Don't worry, I'll be sure to stick to the rules. ^^

Welcome aboard Mutant! You've just joined the best forum available for young writers. Awesomeness just can't get better than this.

The most important rules, I believe, are no chatspeak and our 2:1 policy. Chaptspeak such as "Lol" is allowed, but none of the other stuff like "r u dere?" That's annoying, and we're writers so we're way better than chatspeak, aren't we?
Our 2:1 policy simply means that you have to review at least 2 pieces by someone else before posting one of your own. This continues, simply meaning that for every one piece you post, you should have reviewed two others. It keeps the fun cycling.

So! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I'd love to see some of your work on here soon!

Welcome aboard!
June

Thanks. I'm starting work on a short story tonight. It's not going quickly, but once I get into it, I'll be faster.
So I should probably have my first piece up pretty soon.

Hi Mutant! Welcome to YWS! I like your avatar. Now, since you've already been greeted, I just need to give you a gift. Here you go:

Yay! Another member! All the better to pick on, my dear! Joking! I am actually, well I think so, a good friend to have. I am surportive but at the same time I will tell you when you have messed up. Welcome to YWS! *Gives bear hug* I am happy to greet you! I hope on seeing you around!

Mutant-
Hey, welcome to the family! I hope you have a wonderful time here.

I would love to read your short stories. Any genres that your stories fall into?

Well, I'll see you around the forums! And if you ever wanna chat, you can always pm me!

Yo Mutant. Welcome to the club!

Hope you enjoy and enjoy and...

Anyhoo...

Looking forward to critique you work...Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!!

Hey there Mutant, and welcome to YWS. Are you a Mutant Teenage Ninja Turtle? Lol. Anyways, what type of short stories do you write and why do you write them? What area of poetry do you focus on? Why do you write poetry?

And if you are having problems with your character, you should check out the character development usergroup that's run by Snoink. There are some decent advice and tips on how to remedy that problem.

I suggest that you take the time to review some of the poetry that's on the forums. That way, when you post your own poetry onto the forums, it will give them the incentive to review yours back as a sign of gratitude.

Hope you will enjoy your stay on YWS.

Andy.

Welcome, Mutant!

Ooh, you do poetry, eh? So do I It'd be nice to see your work here some time!

How do you like YWS so far? There's so much going on here, I'm still discovering new things, haha. Hopefully you'll have lots of fun around the site.

PM me if you need a review, or just want to chat. I'm online pretty often, so I'm reachable

Hey!

welcome to Yws.

So you do poetry? i admire you for that. i can't write poems that well. I write romance fiction and have a few fanfic out there too. i am starting to branch out with my latest idea.

so how are you enjoying YWS?

well, if you ever need anything including friendship, give me a holla.

Hey there!

Welcome to YWS!

So, they've said mostly what to do and what not to do. But one thing though, since you're a newbie, try checking out the FAQ on the Welcome page. It'll help a lot.

If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to PM me!

Enjoy and have an AWESOME time!!

See ya around!

Whoa, lots of replies. =D
Thanks for the suggestions for my short story. I've managed to get a plot developing, so it's definitely progressing. The genre? I'm not even sure what to call it... Modern romantic fantasy describes it, I suppose. I tend to stick in those areas.
As for the poetry, it may be a while before I get anything up. I don't write poetry very often, and when I do, I usually don't like it and end up scrapping it. If I manage to get a couple satisfactory ones, they'll go up here, but I can't make any promises.
