Seems like Mizzle already told you a bunch. Those things are just some of what makes YWS so great. I'm Sarah welcome to YWS! I think I'll call you Val too, although you'll probably get a whole lot more nicknames as you make new friends around here. Since all you said was hello, which is okay I'm going to ask you some questions.
What's your favorite movie? Who's your favorite band? Do you like tuna fish? What's your favorite genre to write or do you prefer poetry? Have you ever finished writing a novel? What's your favorite color?
Hope to see you around! PM me if you have any questions or just want someone to bug.

Hello. I have been writing forever it seems. I write fantasy, which should not be called fantasy. I think it should be called something else, don't you? Isn't a "fantasy" a dream or aspiration. Well, my writing it not like that. My writing is just as real as anything else, except people don't believe. Do you believe?
Oh, I prefer rain. In fact, my favorite days are the ones alone, dancing in the rain.
Here's one for you. How many people would you kill to save somebody you love- your valentine. Valentine
My favorite movie is the one where the villain wins, and everybody realizes he was the good guy the whole time.
My favorite band is Death Cab for Cutie.
Tuna is Ok.
I like to write things that are unbelievable, yet true. Poetry is amazing.
I am currently writing a novel, and will not finish it until it makes everybody that reads it laugh out loud, cry, and change there life forever. It may take a while.
My favorite color is red, like blood. Blood is the essence of life, and death.

Heya! I LOVE Death Cab for Cutie! I LOVE the sound of settling..I'm going to ask you a series of....would you rather questions! YAY for would you rather!
Would you rather, be blind or deaf? Would you rather always take a cold shower or sleep an hour less than you need to be fully rested? Would you rather always get first dibs or the last laugh? Would you rather always have to say everything on your mind or never speak again? Would you rather always lose or never play? Would you rather always wear earmuffs or a nose plug? Would you rather be able to hear any conversation or take back anything you say? Would you rather be able to read everyone’s mind all the time or always know their future? Would you rather be able to stop time or fly? Would you rather be an unknown minor league basketball player or a famous professional badminton star? Would you rather be born with an elephant trunk or a giraffe neck? Would you rather be forced to tell your best friend a lie or tell your parents the truth? Would you rather be forgotten or hatefully remembered? Would you rather be go about your normal day naked or fall asleep for a year? Would you rather be gossipped about or never talked about at all? Would you rather listen to Justin Beiber for 10 hours straight or dance to Micheal Jackson non-stop for 10 hours?
You don't have to answer all of them....actually this is my first post EVER on the Welcome Mat. I never used it when I got on this. I was way to dumb to realize what it even was. Anyway! PM me if your bored
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.
Wait a second just noticed something.....Your a dude???!!? *Into shocked mode, so shocked she doesn't even respond to the 'not answering of the questions'*

Hi Valentine! Welcome to YWS! I love your screenname, by the way! You've joined just time for it to be in season Do you have any favorite authors, or novels that you just die for? Please feel free to send me a PM if you ever need anything.
By the way, you could have phrased what you wanted to say to Jasmine a bit nicer. She's just trying to make you feel welcome.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay!

To Jasmine: I am a guy, Valentine being my last name. I am confused on why you're so shocked.
To Elinor: I was just trying to be funny to Jasmine, not mean. My favorite author is Ted Dekker. I would not die for any of his books, but the concepts they teach, I would die for, yes.

Dude! Your last name is Valentine! I am *so* incredibly jealous. And, to your killer question, if it was someone I really loved...I don't know. Killing is not my nature, I'd be more of a rescuer. I'd risk my life, yes--but kill someone? That goes against my values. XD. Anyhoo. Welcome! -Mizz

Later!

I would love it if my surname was as interesting as yours! I imagine you've heard of thousands of lame Valentine's Day jokes, so I won't be making any -- although, believe me, I was tempted.
So you write poetry as well? That's great, because I'm not really that much into fantasy. I'll be glad to read your work sometimes!
See you around, and just PM me if you have any questions

Be careful when posting personal information. I could be a creeper. o:
Well, I'm not. So it's okay!
Hi! Welcome to YWS! (Because you definitely haven't heard this enough.) It looks like you're finding yourself around all right, so that's great! It makes your stay here so much more exciting if you know where to go.
Oooh, fantasy? I love reading fantasy. And I agree that "fantasy" is a particularly broad term, which can fit multiple genres. But! I still read fantasy, whatever the definition. I'm not too hot on poetry, but I might still come read some of your poetry! There are plenty of poets here who will no doubt be of more assistance than me, so you can look forward to someone more intelligent.
By the way, how do you like it here so far? Have you visited the community forums much? Lots of activities and fun discussions are there, and man, they can be really entertaining!
If you have any concerns at all, please don't hesitate to send me a PM. I'm more than happy to help you out with whatever you need!
I'm going to ask you some questions.
