The YWS 2009 Yearbook

Well, I would like to thank Demeter, Juniper and AlphaGirl01, for being so amazing and awesome in general.
I would like to thank Nate for this wonderful site!
And Google, God bless them, for bringing me here to YWS!

Juniper and Writersdomain

Master_Yoda: for being awesome.

ConradRice: for keeping my spirits up.

Angel's Symphony: for being my first friend.

Winter's Twelfth Night: For being the first person I talked to on YWS

GryphonFledgling: For being an awesome friend.

There's a bunch of people I'm sure I forgot to mention! [More on to come on this post!]

Coolest thing that happened to me this year involving YWS:



Coming up on five years here - thanks for all the great times and here's to many more!

Place holder!

*sprinkles Awesomeness on yearbook* lol

So um what can I say about YWS with only 223(?) posts, most of which being nothing posts. Well most people probably know I'm random, awesome, weird (or 'different' as one of my cyber-buddies would put it), and a fan of odd things. Well to all who know that I like odd things and that I'm quite the odd one but like me anyway, THANK YOU ALL!!!

Thank you Nate for tolerating my recent action. Thank you reviewers, although there are few. To the people I've reviewed,glad I could help. To the people whom I promised I reviewed but never did, so sorry. To make a long story short, THANK YOU YWS!!!! (And Nate for tolerating my latest actions). lol

Cass, or Cassidy, whatever floats your boat

I used to think... That I had no true reason for living other than mere exsistance.
Then I was told to come to YWS... Where I met amazing and fantastic people, who completly changed my look to how I see the world. People such as june, hope, amy and kama helped make the time I've been here very enjoyable.

And I don't need YWS at all... I need the people and friends I've made here on YWS.
I couldn't ask for a better place...There people here are great and I often feel that I don't deserve to walk among you all. That I am not worthy of your time or your mind.
I can never repay the people here for what they mean to me...

In a sense... YWS saves my life...And May It Save Many Others.

YWS is truly a writers best friend. Every time I log in, a little flurry of renewed inspiration flies through my finger tips. I haven't been here long, but I would like to thank:

Jetpack; for being my first reviewer. I can never thank you enough for encouraging me to keep writing. I still don't understand how you made it through that first story...

Kamas; for being the first person I talked to in chat. Thank you so much for the warm welcome!

I also want to thank everyone who took the time to read my stories. I appreciate everyone's thoughts immensely. I hope the authors of the stories I attempted to review understood a little bit of what I said. Also, thank you chat friends for answering all my questions and dealing with my big mouth. XD

I hope YWS continues for years to come! Thank you Nate for creating such a brilliant site!

-Kate

great tradition!

*signs name roughly a million times* that oughta do it! *claps* whoo!

And, to be frank, I LOVE YWS!

I have only been here since November '09 but read so much good stuff already!

Once again, *signs name roughly a million times*

Long ago in a land, surprisingly, not far from here, there rested a small, insignificant writer browsing through the bottom drawer of her dresser when she picked up a copy of her favorite magazine: “Writer’s Digest.”

Yes folks, I found YWS through the 101 Best Websites list back in November. Obviously it took me a bit longer than most people did to find the site through that wondrous list. (Only about a year and three months.) But that copy of Writer’s Digest magazine is probably the most influential of my whole life…I still have it because not only did that copy find TWS for me but it also found out about one of the greatest writers ever. Seriously…that was the best copy of Writer’s Digest ever. I think I’m going to frame it.

When I joined right away, I never anticipated to be accepted the way that I was. Right off the bat, I can remember how good of friends both Squall and Nutty had been. But new friendships started to developed to.

And this is for the shout outs:

Snoink – I would love to go through and count just how many times you and June’s names are going to show up throughout this. I’m estimating about a billion. But I have to say that I totally look up to you both as a writer and as a member of YWS. *hugs*

June – Junebuggers, I wouldn’t be anywhere if it weren’t for you. You’ve been an awesome friend and a great person to compete with, even if I never win.

Mira – Don’t forget the floor plans. Master lily commands it. *hazza*

Kamas – Kamas, you’re seriously like a really cool little sister who I can totally throw all of my problems on when I need to get things off of my chest. And you’re the best! *snugglenomglomptackleprounce*

Bolt – I don’t know who I would share my love of microwaving things with if not you. That’s what I thought.

Bluedragon525 – I’m really glad to have picked you for a team mate way back when we were doing the reality show. Because it definitely won me a really cool friend.

Squall – You were probably one of the first friends I had on the site and I still think of you as a good friend. Someone I can turn to if I need help with a story and I hope you still think of me as someone you can do the same for.

Dreamer – My NaNo word warring buddy! I seriously don’t think I would have been able to finish NaNo this year without you. Thank you darling. And if you ever want someone to WW with, just hit me up. I’m bound to be up for a challenge.

Elinor Brynn – I’ve really only started to get to know you very recently. But I can already foresee a wonderful friendship that might pop up out of the two of us chilling in chat together. *hugs*

angels-symphony – Shina!!! I think you’re the best! Seriously you always manage to pop up when I least expect it and give me the greatest boost of confidence/happiness/humour/fun. *noms* <3

I love all of YWS! My home away from home!

2009 was good and fine
2010 is...well I really don't know a good word to rhyme with ten...

Peace

I joined in July this year because on another writing site, Afeefah and I were the only active members. Then one day Afeefah found YWS and asked me to join, so I did. And as Afeefah said, it is awesome!!! YWS has been so helpful and I epically enjoy chatting to you all, and I am always helped and amused by my buddies in there.

Thank you to;

Afeefah - you be awesome in many ways, not just because you introduced me to this site!!!!

Silenced1 - The first person I talked to in chat, it was really awesome. You were also the one who nicknamed me Steve/Stev!!! *hugs*

Aet Lindling - Also a chatser. You put up with me and you are also mysteriously ALWAYS in chat!!!

All chatsters (they be awesome) most of which I am 100% sure I annoyed thoroughly.

And last but not least, Nate! This site is awesome.

Durrance/Kate/Steve

P.S. - I KNOW I have repetition problems. I used 'awesome' five times in this post.

P.P.S. - This might be random, but why are we all typing these things as if we are giving acceptance speeches???? O.o.

I farted...

Oh, psh! xD

Hmm... I'm still meandering this place since 2005. I must have no life. (Just kidding, Nate. I love you, man)! Well, I have met far too many people on this site. Some ecentric, others hilarious, and the few that force me to raise any eyebrow in wonderment. Still, all of you that I've had the pleasure of meeting, either through your stories or in the chat, each person has been unique, and that is one of the greatest gifts of all.

Think about it? Who the hell wants to be a dud? Boring, and sending someone off into a coma? I thought you'd might agree.

So Blessed Be! I'll see you all little whipper snappers in 2010!

From, mostly likely the oldest member on YWS, I bid ye all a fond farewell!








(Hee hee...)

PS- SPEW who?

PPS- Madame, Writersdomain;

Haha! Oh, I plan on having way, way too much fun with Mister Garrick Soutwick... And alligned with my oldest character- Samuel Garrison- there's bound to be lots of surprises. Weee! Little twerp Garrison will spoil half of my plans because, well, that's how he rolls.

I no longer holdeth mine placeth. Huzzah!
So umm...YWS. There's too much to say. So, I shall limit needless things and try to focus on the important stuff. HA! I tried to be funny! Anywho.
YWS is SO helpful! I joined in July, and since then my writing has gotten quite better. That's what the site is all about, right? I also have realized (I have poor vocabulary) that if I ask someone what a word they just said means, THEY TELL ME! Imagine that!
Another thing YWS has taught me is not only to review works here, but to revew books I read, along with moives, and plays. It's rather annoying sometimes.

So I'd like to thank Nate (duh!) for making the site.

I'd like to thank June for helping me with things from writing to starting a fire with

flint and steel. And for just plain being June.

Jabberkopf (Jabberhut) For helping me out.

And Kamas, Silented, Lethero, Forestqueen808, Aet Lindling, and about five billion
others for making me laugh when I didn't want to.

And Bolt, will yo PLEASE stop being annoying? :D:D

Wow!!! I AM WRITING A POST IN A YEARBOOK!!! OHMYGOSH!!! Haha. Well, this has been a great year on YWS and I haven't even fully been on a year! But I will sure be excited when I have. I feel like I know a lot of you, if its from commenting on your works, or chatting with you in the chat room, I love you all, and I love YWS!!! Happy Holidays!
Oh and I would like to thank my bestest buddies on here!

Wookielover17 (My special captain kirk/wookie partner!)
JabberHut (My soap opera star!)
Thinkingwaytomuch (My amazing friend who likes all the same bands!)
Peanut19 (Fellow Flyleaf fan and publishing buddy!)
Pudin.jdf (The awesomest person there ever was!)
Ich-Am-German (My fellow buddy who I have German conversations with!)
Everyone else, it would be impossible to write all your names down, But I love you all and thank you for critiquing my work and helping me feel great even when my work was like crap!
I love all of you YWS!!!
