Hello all. I'm Poison, and as you can see, I'm new. So here are a few facts about myself you didn't know:

I write novels. My genres are historical fiction, romantic fiction, and some fantasy.
I've been writing for four years. It's my only hobby. I can never seem to put the pencil down.
I don't have a favourite author or book.
My favourite colour is blue. My favourite colour combo is dark purple and black.
At times I may seem depressed, but I'm really not. Nor am I Gothic, although sometimes I wish I was.
My actual name is Rachael.
I'm really good at keeping up a conversation.
I'm running out of facts.

So, any questions? Comments?
"All I want is to be loved."

This quote isn't from a romance novel or a couple breaking up. It isn't about a girl desperately wanting to find love or a promiscuous boy finally breaking down. No, this is from a much sadder story. It's an eighteen year-old boy crying about his mother.

Hi Poison (or would you prfer us YWSers to call you Rachael?)! I can promise you that you are going to love YWS!
Let me just breifly tell you some of our rules:
1.) For every story/work you post, you must do 4 reviews. So it's the 3:1 ratio. (soon to be 4:1)
2.) If you post a work and it has any violence in it, or things like that please rate it appropriately. Some people on here don't like seeing certain things.
3.) No flaming at other players. Keep it all smiles.
4.) Have fun.
5.) ChT Spe@k iz not allwed! Please use proper grammar and such when posting a message. Refrain from chatspeak.

Okay, now that the rules have been said (I think I covered them all), I'm going to ask you the twenty questions. xD
Do you love or hate marmite? Cats or dogs? Favorite food?
You seemed to have answered everything else.
Welcome.

Hi Mizzle(that's what you want me to call you, right?). Thanks for the welcome.
I think I understand the rules. They're pretty standard. We want to make this site enjoyable and helpful for everyone, so all these rules make sense. Especially the no chat speak. This is a writing site, and isn't the point to improve our writing? Including spelling and grammar?
Now to answer your questions: never tried marmite, cats, shmores.
Oh, and I don't care what you call me. Although I kind of regret using the name "Poison". My other choice was taken and when I thought of it I didn't realize at the time it was my friends choice user name. Unfortunately, there's no going back.

Hey Rachel, welcome to YWS! As Mizzle said, it's an amazing site and I know that you'll have a really lovely time here.

And yes, the chat speak rules does include spelling and grammar. It also includes CAPS LOCK and excessive punctuation. Ergo, if something is really funny please do not say. OMG!!!!! THAT WAS SOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!. Because we will kill you *evil laugh*.
I'm joking, by the way. We won't really. :D

I hope to see you around and if you need anything feel free to PM me!

*hugs*

Hey there Rachael, welcome to the forum! Yay, another fantasy writer! That's all I'm good at writing. :P Oh, and don't worry about seeming depressed. I certainly have my moments far too often for my liking. SAD sucks. Ugh. But that's what those mood lamps are for, they work wonders! Annnyways, as you can see I tend to ramble a lot. I'll see you around! :D
There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people:
psychopaths and mystery writers.

I'm the kind that pays better.

I officially love YWS. The people here are very nice.
Don't worry AquaMarine, I won't use chat speak. I frown upon those who use it.
Ranger Hawk, thank you for the welcome. I've never used a mood lamp before, but maybe I should....
