I found this wonderful site from Google! I was looking for Criss Angel fanfics and then I started to look for general Twilight fanfics (then I came upon this site and joined yesterday :D )

Acually, Firestalker invited me, right after I got internet, or I would have found this earlier.

By using something called "StumbleUpon" I found a list of 40 useful sites for young writers. YWS was the first on the list, so I clicked... and here I am!

Another forum. I wanted to post in their writing forums, but they kinda sucked and no one was really answering anything I put in (and the only responses I was getting were, "UR PEECE SUKD. LOLOOLOL" I oviously wanted something more serious as a critique, so I asked around on the forum in the LifeStyle Help section, and here I am.

Umm...I just joined in June...So you'd think I'd remember.

Oh, yeah!

I think I Googled something like how to write a death scene or something.
And one of the links led to a contest on this site about death scenes. I started seriously looking around, and decided to join.

:D

I found YWS in Writer's Digest.

Well, for me it was my endearing friend LaReina. I used to right Fanficitions for Fanfiction.net and she knew that so she started explaining this site to me. She told me that people on this site actually tell you how to improve your writing and where to go from there and she also told me that it was an amazing site. After a couple days, I was sitting on the computer and remembered her advice so I popped on here and I have been on here ever since... which hasn't been long... but anyways, it was a LaReina's doing!

I've rediscovered it a couple times but I think I found YWS through google. I was searching for sites for teenage writers I think.

I'm taking a creative writing/publishing class and our teacher wanted
us to join a writing forum. I Googled it and ended up here and
absolutely love it!

Y'know, sometimes a family is a mutant superhuman clown with cartoony powers, a hyperactive shapeshifter created in a lab, the ghost of an artificially created being who only exists for exposition, a cat who is an eldritch god for some reason, and an emo guy who doesn't canonically exist
