Hey guys!! I'm Luv4Polynesia but you can call me Poly for short. I'm new to YWS so I would so appreciate it if you'd please check out my story. I've been working very hard on it and I want to know how I'm doing and what I can improve on!! Thanks!
Have you ever been to Polynesia? I've never but it seems to be one of those awesome places just to lounge around all day
Anyway, welcome to YWS! Maybe I will take a look at your story - I'm always for reviewing.
What kind of things do you like to write? Favourite authors? How about your favourite food? Personally, I enjoy writing fantasy or historical fiction while inspired by Alison Croggon and Malorie Blackman as I eat fettucini alfredo.
Welcome to YWS, Poly! I'm Searria, or "Sea" for short. Nice to meet you.
Tell us a little about your story! What genre is it? What's it about? I'll be sure to take a look at it.
I think Lavvie already covered my usual questions, so how about some unusual ones? (But every bit as important, of course) 1) What's your favourite colour? 2) If you've grown up with Disney, what's your favourite Disney movie? 3) What are some of your hobbies outside of writing? 4) Favourite animal? 5) Pirates or ninjas ?
There.
If you want some help getting to know the site, we have this great system called The Buddy System where an older member takes on a new member for a month, answering their questions, reviewing their work, and introducing them to other members. We're always looking for new buddies to mentor, so don't be shy!
If you ever have any questions, want me to review anything in particular, or just feel like chatting, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM (private message) or drop a note on my open wall. I hope to see you around. Happy writing! -Sea-
It's nice to meet you, and welcome to YWS! I just figured I'd drop by and lend a friendly hello. I hope you're enjoying the site so far. Though, I'm sure there's no doubt that you are, but you know, feel free to gush at any moment. We all do it. ;]
Anyhoo though, your username really draws me in. Are you from Polynesia? I had a friend who was Polynesian. And Hawaiian. Let's just say Pacific islander! But yeah, she was pretty cool. Did all that cool dancing and played the uke. I was just curious if you did any of that. xD If so, I encourage you to spill! This is your welcome thread.
Also, if you ever have any questions I wouldn't hesitate at all to ask for help. I'd be glad to help you! This also goes for if you're ever in need of a review. I'm usually very good with review requests, just post the link on my wall or something. I'll be quick to get back to you on it.
Well, anyway, I just wanted to say welcome again and I hope you find your stay at YWS an enjoyable one. Also, feel free to take advantage of all that there is to offer! We have Storybooks and Chat and contests, etc. So much to do, and I hope you have fun with it. :]
Thank you all for the questions!! I'll try to answer all of them as best as I can, starting with a little bit of myself...
No, I'm not from Polynesia but I am from an island. I grew up on the island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which is located around 60-70 miles from Puerto Rico, so I'm pretty much used to tropical weather!
The reason I made my screen name Luv4Polynesia is because ever since I was a child I've always been fascinated with the beautiful culture of the Polynesian islands, mostly Hawaii, French Polynesia and the Cook Islands. I love everything: the food, the people, the language, and the music/arts.
For the past two years I've been teaching myself the official dance of Tahiti using videos from YouTube and since then I've improved ten times as much as the first time I tried dancing. Now I can't go one day without Tahitian dancing and it's now become a big part of me!! Even though it sounds cliché I definitely would LOVE to visit Hawaii on my honeymoon X}
Now onto why I'm obsessed with writing... About three or four years ago my sister and I (DID I MENTION THAT I'M A TWIN??) found a link to Fanfiction.net and because of a few, not much, good stories I was inspired to write my own stories on FF and now YWS. I love to write real, in-depth stories and stuff them with drama. Romance tends to draw me in the most so I can't help writing romantic stories and I love to portray the ups and downs that come with realistic relationships<3 I hope you guys check out my story!!
Anyway, my favorite color is royal blue or sapphire, my most favorite hobby aside from writing is Tahitian dancing of course!! My favorite Disney movie growing up was Lilo & Stitch and it still is! And my favorite food is CHINESE!! OMG I'm almost drooling thinking about it lol!
Well, that's all I have to say right now and once again thank you all for the support! I really appreciate the time you've taken to make me feel at home here on YWS. I'll check out your stories when I have the time and I'll let you all know what I think about them!!
