The thread you've stumbled into is the equivalent of a YWS newspaper, with each post in this thread being a news article. The focus of this paper is to give out a summary on the happenings of YWS at any given day and special features which tell about the new trends in YWS and current events. This feature runs all week long, featuring special coverage during events and certain occasions.

All members are welcome to submit their own news items. Keep in mind that all postings must comply with the YWS rules.

If you're an avid reader and want to pitch in or advertise or a concerned YWSer who wants to comment or ask us, then do so in the office at the Reader's Corner down below.

Literary and Submissions Get a Revamp

The Literary section and the Submission process are two of the most important features in YWS that help us get to our goal of literary development. Now that most of the site features are back in Apollo, Nate just confirmed to give the two mentioned areas a revamp.

On the literary section, Nate plans to include a Literary Showcase featurette which more or less the same with the featured works. Nate believes it can show the best works of YWS to everyone.

The three step submission process will then be condensed to two steps, one of which is focused on choosing the work's portfolio.

A lot more minor additions and fixes are being planned and soon be implementing by Nate, not only these. There are bug fixes, portfolio pages and more. To learn more, check out his own word about it.
