Hello there writing world, how are you on this fine day? :)

I'm keiraMae., and my bestfriend (fragile_heart(!)) showed me this website a few months ago, and I've never really thought of joining it until recently. I was going through some junk and I found some poems and such.. I'm not very good, but I guess I'll give it a try. :)

I'm really new to this website.. so I'm currently a little confused about how things work.. but I'm sure with some friendly help, I'll get the hang of it soon. :)

Also, I am quite shy, so I'm not sure how to make an introduction of myself.. lets see.. I love everything about dance (and dance shows like ABDC and SYTYCD), I love to read, I love to draw, and I also love to experiment with my thoughts by putting them on paper. :)

I currently don't have much good material.. so thats basically all I can think of to say about myself for now.. so yeah!! :)

Ha! First reply :)

Life partner! :D

Welcomewelcomewelcome! *jumps up and down* I hope you stay longer than Ryley, Ubah, and Dante did...they came and left like the wind...

Anyways, here are the rules...

:arrow: 2:1 -- For every story you post, try to review two other pieces of work. Reviews are at least three lines long, and you can just post stuff that you dis/liked of stories, comments, etc.

:arrow: Plagiarism: big no no. But that's pretty obvious, right? :wink:

:arrow: No CAPS/chat speak. Unfortunately, as fun/convenient it may be, you have to steer clear of it. You can say things like lol, but dunt t@lk like di$.

Notice the different colored names? Well, those people are called Mentors. They've been chosen to do specific tasks around the site to help make it better! For example; us blues are Greeters, purples are Instructors, reds are Administrators, oranges are Distinguished Members, and light/dark greens are Junior/Moderators!

So, what exactly do these people do? Well, Greeters greet (duh :wink:), Instructors help with reviews and writing tips, Administrators update the site and add new features, Distinguished Members are retired YWSers, and Mods help keep the forums clean and clear and under control.

Have you checked out the Knowledge Base ? It's this cool little library that can tell you anything about the YWS website or writing! If you ever get lost, it's the place to go :)

Or what about the Will Review for Food? Basically, that's a forum where you can request a review from any of the members who have a post open. You can check mine out in my signature where it says Reviews for Change. Just send me a link, and a review will appear like magic.

Well.... I guess all that's left is...

:elephant:

Mah spoon's too big!

Welcome to YWS! :] I hope you like it so far.

If you're ever in desperate need of a review of things like poems, short fictions, fan-fictions or non-fictions, let me know! PM me.

--- James
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire,
Consumed by that which it was nourished by.
(Exerpt from Shakespearean Sonnet Number 73)

well hello there shy one! Allow me to introduce myself as Kaiden! (no it's not my real name, i wish it was)

Looks like you friend summed it up pretty well so i guess i'll just say welcome to YWS and hope you enjoy it! I'm new too and I'm loving this place!

if you don't feel like you can write very well you can always review others work *wink wink, nudge nudge* you'd be surprised at the creativity that you'll see and you may just be inspired to write something as well as learning new things.

Welcome to YWS!

What's your favorite book?

You like to draw. I love to draw! What kind of things do you like to draw? I normally draw random doodles.

Don't worry about not having good material, with the people on this site, your be amazed about how great your writing will get, thanks to the helpful reviews.

Like kaiden said in his last paragraph,

if you don't feel like you can write very well you can always review others work *wink wink, nudge nudge* you'd be surprised at the creativity that you'll see and you may just be inspired to write something as well as learning new things.


Hope you enjoy it here!

PM me any time!

Hiyas Keira! Welcome to YWS!

I'm Mira and it's wonderful to meet you. :)

Fragile seems to have hit all the important points, but I'll still tell you a bit more about the site. ^-^ Hope you don't mind.

The YWS chatroom has to be the craziest place on the site, but I love it there. ^-^ If you'd like to chat with a few members and meet some new friends, I'd suggest going there at least once. The link? http://host7110.123flashchat.com/youngwriterssociety/

Also, there are many usergroups on the site. Several focus on topics related to writing, such as Character Development and world building. Others are just fun, little groups that bring together those with the same interests in a book or such. http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/clubs.php

So, what's your favorite color? What type of music do you usually listen to?

PM me if you need anything. ^-^


Smiles!
