When the first thing you do when you turn on the computer is check to see if anyone reviewed your work
I am nothing but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's or maybe like pocket candy that's just a bit too sweet.
1. When you get carpal tunnel, but still go on YWS, just in case you can review an awesome piece.
2. When YWS dreams are the norm rather than the exception.
3. When most of your MSN/AIM list is made up of YWS people
4. When you accidentally introduce yourself to other people in real life as your username (doesn't count if your username is your real name).
5. When you've met more than ten YWSers in real life... just because it sounded like a good idea.
6. When you talk about your YWS experiences during an interview.
7. When you accidentally call someone you know personally, long before you joined YWS, by his YWS username (doesn't count if his username is his real name).
8a. You think of Nate whenever you see monkeys. 8b. If you know someone named Nate in real life, you first think of YWS's admin whenever you hear that name.
9. You consider Twilight fans vs. anti-Twilight fans a more serious issue than racism, politics, or the economy--combined.
10. You read this list and can't understand why any of these points are not typical.

Ditto. 'Cept it's English tomorrow so, ha. It is a good thing to be here.
2. You want to name pigs Snionk. 3. You use *snugglehugs* a lot. (I think it's a YWS thing.)

You know you're obsessed with YWS when you find yourself accidentally typing in your screename on other websites.

Deafwriter19: Number 10 is me..once I accidently sent it to all my friends and they were all like WTF is YWS!
You know your obsessed with YWS when:
1. You try explaining what a storybook is in your writing class or to your friends
2. You doodle your screename all over your notebook until someone says WTF...your name isn't *insert user name here*. (This happened to me with a teacher and now I'm scared that she's going to search up my work and read it...)
3.You have completely stopped checking Facebook so that you can read and review on YWS
4. You say your going on the computer to do your french project and end up on YWS 2 minutes later. (currently happening :p)
5. You rather talk to friends who never met before than go hang out with friends in person
6. You find yourself competing with ohter users to become number 1 on the leaderboards
7. You always have to make up names for your YWS friends when you tell your friends about something they funny they said because you don't want to actually say their usernames.

You find yourself reading a book in which one of the characters is a writer, and you keep thinking "Dang, this girl needs YWS."
You click on a thread called "You know you're obsessed with YWS when..." thinking "The stories I could share there!"
Your friends:stalkers ratio is exactly the same on YWS as in real life.
You're constantly nicknaming users you have never spoken to before.
You mention other users in your avvie, with complete knowledge that everyone will understand exactly who you mean.
You read the blogs of a manic depressive and think "you would get slaughtered on YWS..."
Your friends no longer ask "What's YWS?" but "Why don't you call it something easier to pronounce?"
You're logged onto YWS during your free period at 9:30 in the morning when you could just as easily be sleeping.
You're tempted to skip the next class so you can complete this post.
You don't, because you start thinking "What kind of reputation would that give YWSers?"
You log off only after much debate, and you immediately after open it up on your phone so you can keep looking at what's going on without missing anything big.
You spellcheck posts repeatedly before posting.

You know you're obsessed with YWS when you get on both before and after school.
