I've been looking for this kind of thing for a long time, and I'm glad I found it. Just wondering how some other members found it.

Hi there! I actually found this site because of friend of mine from school recommended it to me last year. :) I'm so glad she did.

So what kind of things do you like to read? How long have you been writing?

I hope you enjoy your time here at YWS. Everyone is very friendly. If you ever need anything or have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me.

Hey there Hobbit!

I'm Lava and welcome to YWS! Well, I actually found this site using Google. I searched for writers' sites and here I am. I'm sure you'll love this place.

So, what do you like to write? Me, I prefer Sci-fics, Romance and just general fiction.
Do you have a favourite author?
What about favourite books?
I'd love to read what you've written and critique it.

You should definitely pop into the chatroom. You can meet other YWSers there.

Well, if you need something or have tons of questions bout YWS or if you need a critique, you are welcome to PM me. I's be happy to help you out.

Hope to see you around.

Heya - I've been looking for something like this for a while, too. :D And it's nice to have found it - I actually accidentally discovered it while browsing around for poetry a few weeks ago. But I feel pretty confident I know where things are - and I assure you that you'll get used to it all.

I am also curious as to what you enjoy writing. Hobbies? Interests (besides writing)? Because...believe it or not - there is something for everyone on here :P.

Also, feel free to PM me if you've got any problems.

Hi hobbit! I stumbled across YWS about five years ago on writing.com, and I've been addicted ever since. It's a really great place. :)

Glad that you've found it too!

One of my friends forced me to join. Initially, I was reluctant, but now I love it. :)

And welcome! Hopefully, you will love it too. :)
