Hello everyone. My name is Antonia, or Toni... whichever you wish to call me is perfectly fine. I'm sixteen and i am a bit of a geek.
[beware]I just quoted Shakespeare, i like quoting people who are inspiring.

I have four main passions; Writing, Acting, Drawing and Music.

Writing
I can write lots of different stuff but i generally get drawn to horror, science fiction, fantasy and poetry. I've loved writing ever since i was about six and i do tend to write stuff detailed... not just in stories, but in replies to any conversation. [Beware].
I have three pieces of work published in anthologies/collections; two poems and one story (but the story was when i was 12).

As i mentioned, i love Acting and it's the only place i am confident. I draw alot; mainly fashion designs/costumes and superheroes and comics. Finally, i love my music... Jazz and Musical Theatre are what i usually say i like but i'll give anything a go. Elvis, Sinatra, John Barrowman, Michael Buble, Katherine Jenkins... it varies.

I'm a nice person and [beware] i'm a geek and i love Doctor Who, David Tennant and John Barrowman.

Glad to be part of this lovely place!

Hey, and welcome to YWS!

Hehe, I like writing and acting as well. Shakespeare is pretty awesome, I take class regarding that every summer and at the end we put on a play. Last summer we did Midsummer Night's Dream, and I was Hermia.

So, what roles have you had and how long have you been into acting?

I think you'll quite enjoy YWS. Shoot me a PM if you ever need a review, okay?

Hey, welcome to YWS, Toni!
Writing, acting, music, and drawing--I love them all, however, I fail miserably at most of them besides writing. They all fit into one category--the arts! :) I find most writers also like drawing, or music, or the such. It's quite amusing.
Oh my. Shakespeare! He was a genius...like Einstein but instead of studying science, he produced some of the best plays and stories out there.
Anyways, welcome to YWS. I hope you love it here! Don't forget to check out the YWS chat room. It's a great way to meet some of our users, and you are more than guaranteed to get a nickname there! :)
Also, on YWS, some members create blogs! You should try one! If you need any help, have any questions, or just want to talk, feel free to PM me!

Doctor Whoooooo!

Join the Usergroup called "The Whovians." You'll find a lot of fellow fans on YWS (and a lot of Americans wondering what on earth we're talking about)...

I love drawing too, especially ideas for dresses and other designs, I'm a total girly girl.

Anyway, glad to have you aboard! If you need anything, give me a shout!

Hey Toni!

I'm Lava and here's a welcome hug for you, fellow geek. *Hugs.*
So, what's your fave geekiest subject?
And yes, Shakespeare is great. Though, I've never really enjoyed acting.

I love sci-fic too and drawing. Well, I love to draw objects mostly.

Anyway, as Mizzle said, pop into the chat room sometime,

If you want to ask something, just PM me.
Hope to see y'around.

Hello Toni!

Wow, you do a lot of interesting stuff! And don't worry, there are a LOT of geeks on here. I'm another one.

I used to be an actor in college, but I always got typecast as the female villain. x.x So what do you mainly act in?

I'll probably end up checking out your sci-fi, so beware. That is, as soon as I get settled after moving.

Anyway, I hope you have an awesome time here, and don't hesitate to ask any of us if you have questions. Hope to see you around in chat or something!

Take care,

Hi Antonia Louise. What's in a name, right? Like you, I love Shakespeare - favourite all round plays would have to be Merchant of V, King Lear, Macebth, and a good laugh is the Midsummer's Night's Dream. What about you?

Yeah, everyone here's a bit of a geek, myself included, scribbling away at some masterpiece for the future, or just improving our skills. Congrats on getting published so much!

I think people here are artists and musicians too, or into the arts at the very least. Acting, music, it all helps with the writing. I get what you're saying about the whole 'imagining conversations' thing - I do it all the time. Good for script-writing, I guess - but I reckon you'd have the upper hand with your acting experience there :)

Oh, I just noticed you're from Nottingham. I'm guessing that's in England (and not some random American town with a British name), and I'm pretty sure we've lived there at some point. (Yeah, it's omplicated: born in England, lived everywhere there and in Wales, lived in India, now a citizen of NZ, whoopdedoo). So...I guess I breathed the same air as you at some time in the past, which is kind of...creepy. It's a small world, and that is SO cliche.

I'm new to YWS too, so if you need help soon, I may not be the best person to ask, but any reviewing or whatever, feel free to PM me whenever!

Thank you all for your lovely welcomes, i really appreciate it!.


I've been acting at school for 4 years, but prior to that i was one of the pupils who didn't do any clubs because i was too shy. And then i found acting and POW! I suddenly found something that fitted. Now i'm at school usually three hours extra every night doing some form of acting. I also go to an Acting School called The Paul Nicholas School of Acting once a week and i'm going on to do acting at college.
I've been in roles such as Lady Bracknell In The Importance of Being Earnest, Mrs Johnston in Blood Brothers, Roxy in Chicago. I don't get to do many at the minute because i have my GCSE's coming up. Eeek...



Yes Nottingham , England. :D That's cool, i'd love to travel.. i've not even been abroad. :(

Thank you again for your lovely welcomes and i can't wait to get reading and writing.. however i have a mountain of coursework this weekend and i really need to get on with that :( But i'll be ready straight away afterwards. I have to draw 8 comic book covers in two days, and write two essays.
(No i've not left my homework until late, this is about a third of my homework for my two week holiday. )

Thanks again :D
