Hey my names John I have only just got into writing so I can honestly say i am not the best at it. I usually just write about History and i have posted one small short story on the web its called the first taste and is set in Roman times, a honest review would be great.

thanks see you around John

Hiya and welcome!

I see you have one review done already! Mind getting another done quickly? Here on YWS we have a 2:1 ratio rule, which means you should review two works for every one you have posted. It's asked you keep that ratio at all times.

The other rule is to minimize chat-speak. That means proper grammar, spelling and caps. Some abbreviations and alliteration is okay, but it's asked you not overdo it. Lol is fine though.

Also, maybe you'd like to rate what work you have up! That way, it'll show up on the front page for all to see, and who doesn't want that? :wink:

A historical fiction writer? Wow. I like history but I love magic too much to actually stick to anything realistic.

Tell us a bit more about yourself! What are your favourite books? Authors?

If you need anything, feel free to PM me.

*John~

Hello, there. Welcome to YWS. I hope all is well. And I hope you have loads of fun here!

You know, my dad's name is John, also. Weird, huh?

Hey, another history fan! So you like Roman History? Anything else? Let me see, I love the Georgian, Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian Era! Fun. Fun!! Oh, and I write historical fiction, too. With romance, of course! Hey, I'm a girl. I'm a hopeless romantic.

Anywho, if you need anything feel free to PM or guestbook me. See you around!!

Hello! As you know, I am Winter.

So you like historical fiction? That's my favorite genre! My favorite eras are the Georgian, Victorian, and Tudor eras. I'm guessing you like Ancient Rome?

What other genres do you like to write in? Do you have any favorite books?

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