New Blog Experience

One of the extra-featurettes of the Young Writers Society is the weblogs page, and we can't just leave it lagging while every other feature's updating! With Nate playing with the programming, few but very advantageous additions and changes were done with the New Blogs Page.

Nate wrote: In the main area, you can view the most recent blogs or sort by popularity. In the sidebar, you have the main blogging tools as well as a list of your most recent blog entries. In addition, the default blog template has been completely changed as well. It now looks a lot more like a literary work page, and doesn't feel nearly as cramped.

That's right! Maybe you've heard. Maybe you haven't. But the Character Chit-Chat Forum is getting revolutionized.

Wanna help?

We sure want you to! First, check out this awesome article by LouisCypher, then head over to the forum and pick a Chit-Chat you like.

~New Storybooks

It's awesome to see and report, that the new SBs seem to be popping out like flowers in early spring. In past few days, some managed to already fill the number of slots their creators set, meaning the activity in the Storybook forums is high - and what also makes me happy, personally, is to see new members getting involved as well as the older ones. With new shiny features Nate has installed, really, no wonder it's so :3

Hereby Squills brings you a few SBs made in past couple of days~

~Straitjacket Club by @Gabriellemarice99 ~ "In a rehabilitation psychological hospital for "confused" teens five of the patients become closely connected. What will happen once you get there? Some will snap off the deep, others may fall in love, some may mysteriously disappear... who knows?"

~The Time Turns Backwards by @therealme ~ "A group of people have to discover what their past lives were before time catches up to them so they can try to save their lives from getting destroyed. Otherwise, them and their past and present lives will be erased from time… forever."

~BFF by @*coco ~ "Fresh out of college, four young women have moved away from the sleepy town they came from and decided to share a flat together in the heart of a bustling city.
But with four different personalities living under a single roof, how long can their love for each other really last?"

Feel more than welcome to stop by at the Storybook section, even if you've never been there before - who knows, you might just end up joining the dark side one, or two, or seven, or twenty.. c:
