Hi, I'm new! You better say hello, or else ;)

Greetings, Earthlings!
To start with, my name is Firman (I know it's a weird name, I've been struggling with it for the past 17 years), and I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. I'm quite aware that most people think of Indonesians negatively (terrorists, and whatnot), but I'm here to share my not-so-extraordinary stories to the population of YWS (I assure you, it's "bomb" free hehe). I've just started to write recently to get my mind off things like puberty, and global warming, and am dedicating my whole summer holiday just to write. I'm hoping to get some productive insights from everyone in YWS, so don't ease up on those critics guys, hit me with all you've got Peace out!

:O

Oh my god, another alien!

Nah kidding. I've gotten my review guns ready though, so prepare yourself. >:]

Anyway Yellow (or would you rather be called Firman?), welcome to YWS, home of hundreds of writers who are always willing to review anything that needs reviews. I do hope you like it here, and that you'll stick around for a bit. May I suggest you head on to the chatroom? ^^ It's pretty fun in there and you meet a bunch of YWS-ers all at once.

Also, if you ever need anything feel free to PM me. But. Anything doesn't include asking me to review poems. Because I absolutely fail at poems. ._. If you want me to review a story, a novel or anything else, though, ask away!

P.S.

Don't worry about weird names. I have a strange one too. My username is just a pen name. ^^

I better say hello, or else what? (Hmm... I think it's an empty threat.)

Nah, just kidding. Hello (okay, I've said it) Firman, and welcome here in YWS! Wow, your from Indonesia! Well, some people do think Indonesians are war-freaks, brutal, and terrorists, but I don't think it that way. Indonesians, like most Asians (I'm a Filipino, by the way), are very good people.

I've agree with you that writing really gets your mind off from problems, like what you said. And I wish you good luck on your writing, and enjoy your summer holiday! If you have some questions or anything in mind, feel free to PM me.

See ya!

Heya Firman!

I really like your name, by the way... it sounds really cool! Besides, unique names are ten times better than average, boring ones. That's what I think, anyway! That's what makes people cool.

Anyway... welcome to The Young Writer's Society! Like I say to all new members, I am very confident in saying that you will make some great friends here on the site. You will most certainly get some great reviews on your writing, as well. You also seem to write for the same reasons as me, really. To get away from it all.

If you ever feel a bit lost on the site, just send me a private message and let me know. If you want to know where something is, I would be happy to help you find your way around. If you have a bit more of a serious problem though, you should contact a Moderator. In case you didn't know, the Moderators are the members who's usernames are green. They're the ones that can help you with a problem like bullying.

So yeah... Welcome to YWS!

If you have any questions or anything like that, you know who to ask.

xoxo Skins

Hello there!

Or else? Or else, what?It's much more threatening to say something after that, like 'or else I'll eat your pillow.' See, that scares me. The winking emoticon? Not so much.

Anyway, welcome to YWS! You'll definitely get some great critiques here. If you'd ever like me to take a look at your story/poem/anything else literary, then feel free to send me a PM.

So, what kind of stuff do you write? Are you a fantasy freak, a sci-fi supporter or an adventure advocate? (Okay, yeah, I just spent quite a few minutes making those work.)

Feel free to send me a PM if you need help with anything around the site. Otherwise, I hope you have a lovely time here!

*high fives*

@ Kara Hargreaves: hey! I'm ready when you are Thanks for the greetings by the way. I'll head straight to the chat room, and mingle with fellow YWS-ers then, and don't worry, I'm also an epic fail when it comes to poetry. I literally dumped Lord Byron hehe. Nice to meet you

@ darkangel_05: Oh! We're neighbors! I have lots of Filipino friends, and I think they're cool too I bring peace, not war. So please don't hate me *teary eyes* hahaha. Nice to meet you

HEYYYYYYYY! Is that good enough? So you are not going to come to Louisiana and kill me??? I hope not..

Oh and your name isn't wierd...try saying my whole name: Jolene (jo-lean) Lacey (Lace-e)

Most people can't say it. I feel out of place...I'm just white, white as a sheet of paper and I stay in the sun most of the day!

I think I am safe from you.....for now...he-he...

Hi Firman! (Sure, it's weird, but it's good-weird.)

I'm Freyja! (Another weird name. My last name's not weird anymore, but it was really weird before I got married.)

Nice to meet you, and welcome to YWS!

You seem pretty awesome. I've never really seen anything wrong with Indonesians. Actually, I have a few really good friends from there; known them for a good five years, really amazing people. But I don't make any judgments about anyone till I know them, and that's kind of the way most of us here are, fortunately. And you seem cool, so it's all good.

Hope you're finding your way around the site all right! Just in case, here's a thread where Kamas-the-Amazing answers virtually any question a newbie can have. (And non-newbies; I find myself referencing it fairly often, too!) topic54894.html

If you ever need anything, don't be afraid to throw a PM at me.

I look forward to seeing you around, and seeing your work!
Peace,
Freyja out.

@ Skins: Thank you! That's the first time anyone has ever considered my name "cool", online and offline hahaha. Thanks for the greeting and advice, and I'm hoping the same. Nice to meet you

@ AquaMarine: Or else....I don't have a single clue myself. Basically, I write general fiction which deals with the average teenager, and sometimes fantasy, but not really a freak Thanks for the greeting, and nice to meet you

@ Jolene: Yeah, we do have strange names! I hope we can be friends, and it's nice to meet you

Me too

Well, I saw the or else, and didn't want anything terribly drastic to happen to me, so I suppose I'll just say:

Hey Firman!
I personally think that's a pretty awesome name, haha!I wish I had a sweet name like that. I'm not even kidding. Elizabeth is just so common and all that...
Anyways, Welcome to YWS! I'm fairly new here as well! I look forward to reading your stuff and chatting with you!

Hey! Welcome to the site. I'm KD.
Firman. That's an awesome name! How do you exactly pronounce it? Just asking...I'm pretty sure I'm not pronouncing it right. XD I pronounce a lot of things wrong.
It's much better to have a cool name that nobody else has instead of having a popular name, since you always get confused with everyone else. Which isn't any fun. Also, if you publish books, etc., your name will stick in people's heads! They'll remember you and won't forget you. Right?
Anyways, I have some questions for you!

-What's your fav. writing genre?

-Any other hobbies?

-Do you like any specific music bands, etc.?

Well, see you around! Get posting! If you ever have any questions, you can always just PM a mod (the users with green names) like Aqua.

Firstly I just want to mention that I love your avvie and secondly, I came you don't need to hurt me!



My name is Cirque, but I'm most commonly called Alice because it's my real name and Mum seems darn sure that she ain't gonna call me something different any time soon.

But that's okay seeming since I like my name. But anywho this is your welcome page and I'm supposed to be welcoming you! What's going down?

I have a few questions to get to know you better;

What is your favourite colour?
What is your favourite song?
What genre of writing are you most profound?

Hello, Yellow, my name's Skutter11 (named after the robots from BBC comedy, Red Dwarf) and I would just like to say:
WELCOME TO THE YWS! I must warn you that I am completly Insane, so if anything completly random floberdom comes out during the greetin', you'll know why.
Just follow what the other guys have been sayin' and you'll be fine. If you DESPARATLY need a thumbs up for a piece of your work, I'm nortorious for noticing all the good things in a piece and leaving out the bad (I know this is the wrong thing to do, but I can't help it!) enjoy your time on here!

Skutter11.
