You guys were amazing in your entries. I tried a poem and really struggled with it. I don't like it at all but I submitted it to be a team player (poetry is not a strong point) Can you read it and tell me everythings that wrong with it?

Oh btw, keep up the work guys!

Oh and shadow? I loved your entry but one thing I thought you could do is instead of saying "there are no rules in combat" it would fit better if you use the saying " All's fair in love and war." but only if you get this in time, otherwise it's ok

I know. I didn't want to take chances so I changed "All is fair in love and war" to "There are no rules in combat" just to make it that much more obvious. I probably over did it but there's nothing wrong with a little over doing it, right? (Unless, of course, you're trying to see how close you can get to the edge of a cliff. Then there is definite room for bad over doing.)

I hate event six with a fiery passion. I KNOW NOTHING!!!!!

Gah, sorry guys. Went down like a blackout yesterday; scrapping wood from cabinets is tiring work you know. (This is a question that would probably be left unasked.) So Stella, I don't think that you did all that bad with your poem. The flow changes a lot which makes it awkward, but the efforts behind it is something tat I can tell was really thought over. Just next time, try to keep a consistent flow and don't try to choose words that'll fit the structure, it's the structure that'll fit the words. Overall, not a bad entry, I liked the story, though it seemed a bit forced.

Hm. Event 6's not that bad.. Just gotta learn to ask people. (: Though I know little; barely got in touch with the other members when I first started out and I've only recently came back to YWS (Like, a week ago) from a sudden interest in writing again. o-o (Goes to show how much I seem to love YWS, while not as much as a really old-time member, but still a decent amount, since there're people who can use proper grammar and spelling here..) Let us try our best anyway! (:

!@#$&! I can't do this event. I'm going to be spending all day away from the computer. An out-of-state friend is visiting and this is the only day she'll be here. Why don't you two team up and submit an entry? I can help you get started. I know where to find the answers to some of these questions. The Information Desk, The Infrormantion Desk Archives, Question and answers have some answers.

I believe the ezine was called Young Writers Literary Journal but I'm not sure. Also if you go to people tabs and skip all the way to the first page you will see post from 2006. Info might help. Rydia is the crew leader of the Literary Misc. Crew. Asking people in green, gold and red might help 'cause they've been here for a while but even if you ask around you might find new stuff. Good luck and sorry again!

Ugh... I've managed to find 9 answers. I still don't like this event. At least with the others I felt like I was doing something productive. *pout*

Give me a couple questions and i'll see if I can answer them, the friend canceled but I'm still kinda busy. I'll try my best to answer them and then give them to you.

We won the team event! Conjunction Junction~! We couldn't have done it without each other! Shall I suggest bragging rights and a chat party sometime?

I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.
