Hello, welcome!

Waiting is always good enough around here - I assure you you'll have it reviewed soon enough ^^
But if you wish to ask for reviews you always can - there's a thread in the forums, even, it's called Will Review For Food ~ there you can choose reviewer(s) you like, based on what they're best at and whatnot c:

Also, if you happen to need anything, feel more than free to let me know!
I suggest you, both as mentor and member on YWS, to check The Buddy System Club - it's a great place to start and ask any possible questions you might have :3

See you around~

Hiya Helove! Welcome to the Young Writers Society! Not YSW dear!

You've posted your first Short Story! Wow! Don't worry about reviews, you'll get one or two one day! If not, or if you just really, really urgently need it, you can go post at the WRFF forum like what Aria said. I can assure this, though. You'll get more reviews if you'll take some time meeting new people around the site! We are a bug community after-all! :D

Good luck!
Need some feed? Then read some! Take a look at today's Squills at In the News.

Welcome to YWS. :D Unlike most writing sites, YWS is less selfish when it comes to reviews. The lovely Knights of the Green Room are quick to do thorough reviews within a few days of you posting the piece, as well as many of our helpful members. If by any chance, your piece is missed, as Alfred said, the Will Review For Food section holds a number of different member-run "clinics" where you can request a review. This section can be found in the Resources part of the Forum and is just a quick scroll down on the main Forums page.
People are more likely to review if you've made a number of reviews yourself. My tip on reviewing: put time into your review; don't just say how much you love a piece, say what makes you love that piece. Explain the good and the bad. If you want good review examples, go to the Reviews tab on any of the moderators (any user with a name in light green (junior mods) or dark green (global mods) and read some of theirs. Hannah is a star when it comes to poetry reviews.
If you need any more help, feel free to give me or the moderators a buzz and we'd be more than happy to help. The YWS chat is also a great place to get your questions answered.
Anyways, see you around.

Greetings and welcome to YWS! I see Aria has already suggested The Buddy System to you. We'd love for you to check it out. :-)
