hi close ur eyes, interesting name, i like it though, welcome to the yws...... its cool here..

A hearty hello to all who know this name, and a warm hello to all who don't know me! I am known as Erethror on these writing sites, and I have been on a few. One of them, and the first I continue to attend since last summer when I stumbled upon it(which was the foundation from where these other forums came from). 2 of them I was a frequent face to, after their fall (for seemingly and I believe all things with a known beginning have an end, though these falls were not devised from the beginning, and to mine, and others griefs) I became a member on two others which both too fell in decay, and one to my knwoledge has recently been closed. True I could have been a frequent face to those as i was to the first two, and call me a quitter, but they didnt have the feel as the first ones, the homeliness which now lacks in all the later ones I have joined, also perhaps due to a shift of intrests for a little while kept me busy on other things..... Here I am, after hearing of this place a while back, I thought why not, I began a new story(s), and a forum with such a reputation drove me here, I hope my criticism is accepted, and my art (being stories, poems, knowledge, and visual media etc.) too. I do tend to babble if it be toward a topic of my personal intrest (which you one of them you shall learn quickly ) or if I want to add my bit of knowledge or criticism or idea to whatever the subject I find entertaining to be etc. Em....hope to get to know as much of you as I can, I hope I am found to be an easy person to get along with, I think I'm easy and fun, being serious at times perhaps, but they must be balanced. So here I am! \

Please forgive me, I noticed the About the Authors topic after I posted this A simple mistake I hope will be overlooked?)

hey there!! Wow long welcome note. Teehee! Anyway, welcome to the YWS!!

Hi and Welcome to YWS! Here's your gift: mas_wink: mas_happy: mas_cool: mas_evil: :dreidel: :menorah: :frosty: :thumb: =D> #-o =P~ :^o [-X [-o< 8-[ [-( :-k ](*,) :whistle: O:) =; :sick: {|= :-$ :-s \:D/ :-# :hearts_eyes: :love: :lots_hearts:

Thank You, and Thank You.

hey everyone! i'm samantha, but mantha for short. i've been reading lots of people's stuff on here and it's all really good so i'm kind of nervous about putting my stuff up!! I dont have anything ready yet but when i do, u guys will be the first to see it- be nice!!! so yeah, hope to get to know you all soon!!

Hey, welcome to you both!

Oh, and Mantha don't worry about that at all. I was nervous about posting too, but everyone is really nice and I don't think I've ever seen anyone say, "This sucks, you ought to be shot." or anything like that. Even if they say, "I didn't like this," they always follow up with valid reasons and plenty of ways to improve.

Hope to see you guys around!

Hello Djinni and Mantha! We can be pretty brutal with critiques, though, eh, Ari?

If you have any questions feel free to PM me or any member of Big Brother.

True, true... but at least it's usually constructive brutality, LOL...

Besides, even if we shoot down your work, we still love ya

Welcome all of y'alls!

*groans* Not ANOTHER Samantha! Sheesh, that's it. I'm officially changing my name to Crysi. Or Jacqueline (my pseudonym).

Lol I'm just playing with ya. We already have I think three Samanthas on here, but only one goes by Sam. It gets confusing, though, because several people on here know me as Sam, so I never know when someone's talking to me or her.. Bah. Anyway, call me Crysi. PLEASE! *laughs*

I was really nervous about posting my stuff too. But once you do, just remember that it's constructive criticism. If you put a note on it asking people to be nice, generally people tone down their critiques a bit - or at least they did on that horrible poem I wrote lol.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it here! Feel free to ask questions.

Yes, the thing I love and I love to do
