Yay! Two pages is much better than no pages at all. Welcome to YWS! :D

The way YWS works is that you post literary pieces on the literary forums (you can get there either through "Discover Works" or "Submit") and you can post whatever you like, just as long as you have the points. When you post these pieces, people will review them and give you feedback on how you can improve... a good thing! In the meantime, you can help review their own stories and give them feedback. So, it's this giant pyramid scheme of helpfulness. :)

Does that help explain things a bit?

In any case, if you need any help, feel free to bug me! :D

Hello! Welcome to the wierd and wonderful YWS!

You'll love it here and even though you've only written two pages you'll soon get into the swing of writting and before you know it you've got a book! Amazing...

If you need any help with the site feel free to PM me or post something on my wall. I don't mind, I'n always happy to help :D

Anyway, good luck with the rest of your pages and I hope to see your work posted up soon, Midnight x

Hi, welcome!

Don't worry, you'll soon get the idea of the site but basically, you write and you review and you meet awesome people who have similar interests to you. Is there anything you're specifically confused about? Because if so, just send me a pm with some questions and I'll write back with answers!

Also, we have this system called a 'Buddy System' where the new member can choose an older member to show them around the site and answer any questions they have. The older member also reviews some of their work and can introduce them to other members, old and new! So it's a win win situation since all you have to do is be new :D And I just realised you found the club already because you're so clever :p

Have fun getting lost exploring!
