If you don't grab that pen, you will
have nothing to display
Remember, you're a writer,
never mind what others say
So join this wondrous website –
it will have you squealing "Yay!"
Oh, writing brings comfort and joy.
Why-double-u-es, that's the place
where great writers are born
Don't worry if your characters
are lame or made of corn
Just post your story, I tell you
it won't be left forlorn
Oh, writing brings comfort and joy.
By reviewing and posting much,
you'll have a famous name
Just be polite and friendly and
remember not to flame
By having joined this website,
you will never be the same
Oh, writing brings comfort and joy.
And what is awesome is that
people here aren't too uptight
They watch Star Wars and Doctor Who,
so they don't only write
Why, I even know someone
who's been chatting through the night
But writing brings comfort and joy.
All those lovely people,
you can't help but them adore:
There's Jabs and Becks and Nate
and Blink and June and Elinor
there's Mars, Jigs, Namsis, Stella, Kylan,
me and many more
Oh, writing brings comfort and joy.
Now let's keep up the atmosphere,
all you within this place
and with sense of community
I all of you embrace
YWS is mind-blowing,
and I rest my case
Oh, this site brings comfort and joy.
Comfort and joy!

From December 1st to Christmas Eve, Santa is back on YWS! Now Santa needs a list of wonderful YWSers who deserve gifts, and he can’t do it himself, far too much too do. Send this jolly old guy a PM with names and links to their profiles and spread the cheer!
For those of you who didn’t know Santa Claus was on YWS, this is your chance to get yourself on the nice list. Any user who you feel deserves a gift, as a pick me up or recognition or anything else!
The clock is ticking, send in those PMs.
- Santa C. Claus
