Hey! Welcome aboard! This is a writing website, so I feel inclined to ask you what you like to write, what your favorite books are, and who your favorite authors are. So, hi! I'm fairly new too, but I've kinda learned my way around the site. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me! Can't wait to read your work! ~Emily
Hi Justin! Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time here on YWS!
There aren't many rules, just basic guidelines that you need to follow to help things go more smoothly. Do not type in all caps. AS YOU CAN TELL, IT CAN GET ANNOYING. Also, do not use chatspeak. For example, plz don't rit3 lyke dis. We are all here as writers and it's not that hard to use proper grammar.
Try not to post more work than you review. We usually try to keep a 2:1 ratio(meaning that for every piece that you post, you review two others). This is not mandatory but it is polite. The more reviews you give, the more you're likely to receive.
I think that's about it. I'm sure you're going to love it here. If you ever need anything, please ask me!

"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment." -Pride and Prejudice
"Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader—not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon." -E.L. Doctorow
What's your favorite books and authors? Have you ever read the Tempest by William Shakespeare? What do you like to write? Do you like The Hobbit?
If you ever need help getting around town PM me

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.
Welcome to YWS Justis! That's a really neat name you have there! I always wished I had a more interesting name than just Lauren. Oh well, it does suit me rather well.
