Hello and welcome to YWS, newcomers! If you've stumbled across this thread, you should definitely make a post to introduce yourself! Or you can make an individual thread, it doesn't matter to us. :) YWS is a writers' site, and if you just so happen to be a writer, then this is the place for you! We currently have over twenty eight thousand members (28306 to be exact), so as you can see, we have a very popular site that grows and grows everyday! My name is Iggy and I'm a moderator of the site! Any person in this color , this color , and this color is a moderator of the site, so please don't hesitate to PM them if you need help. Users in this color and this color are people who used to serve on the mod squad but have retired. You can find the official list here . Now, let's get some guidelines and rules out of the way: :arrow: We like proper English. That is, we don't substitute "da" for "the," we don't say "im" for "I'm," we don't say "u" for "you," and we expect you to capitalize each word of every sentence in your regular posts. Typos can happen, but don't start talking like you're texting. We're crazy like that. :arrow: To earn points, you must review. And to submit works, you must have points. It's the circle of YWS! If you're having trouble writing a good review, read http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/viewtopic.php?f=187&t=57651. Make sure you mark your review as a review, or else you won't get points! :arrow: We want you to rate your story or poem. That way, it can show up on the front page and everybody can see it. ^_^ If you have an f-word in your story or it's particularly explicit, rate it 18+. It won't show up on the front page, but people will know what they're getting into. Titles should have no curse words or all caps in it, so please refrain from DOING THIS and use asterisk (*) to censor your curse words appropriately. You can find the official rules here . A useful FAQ to read can be found here . Now that all of that is out of the way, let's start introducing ourselves! Oh, and once again, welcome to your new home. :)

Hello, everyone!

I have been searching for new writing communities where members actually help each other out, and that are not all preteens. I'm glad I found this site.

I really enjoy meeting creative people and discussing ideas for novels, poems, songs, etc. I was majoring in Journalism (Got my AA) but I switched over to Creative Writing. I only hope to grow as a writer and to make friends with other artistic people.

I hope I can find that here!

Hey @oceans! Welcome to YWS - sounds like you're at the right place :) If you have any questions about the site feel free to ask!

When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

Hey ya'll!! I stumbled upon this website back in 2014 as a kid- my old account was @TheUnknownWriter but alas I wasn't able to recover my old email :'(
but I am so glad to be back! Now that I'm majoring in creative writing, I thought I would jump back in!

Heya! I had an account here a long time ago, but things change over the years and I can't even remember my last account lol. I stumbled on this website again, and I thought "why not." Hope everyone's doing alright in the times of the plague. Cheers!
