Welcome New Members! [3]

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. My name's Cyan and I'm a little nervous trying out this new site. I'm excited as well, hoping I'll be able to improve my writing abilities and possibly make a new friend or two in the process. I'm from the United States and I'm liking what I see so far (Especially 'Big Brother' which I'm assuming is a 1984 reference, maybe?) so I'll keep testing it out and seeing how it goes! Don't be afraid to correct my grammar and spelling also, it's the only way I'll learn.

Hello, my name's Yasantha. I've been on Wattpad, Quotev and FanFiction.net. I've decide to give this site a shot.

@NocturnalLights: Welcome, my friend.

"Writing, though, belongs first to the writer, and then to the reader, to the world.

The subject is a catalyst, a character, but our responsibility is, has to be, to the work."

Welcome to all the new members!
Being relatively new myself, I can vouch for how helpful this site and its mods are.

You cannot train yourself to notice,
To feel pain, and swallow fear

Hello everyone!

I am completely new to this type of writing platform. I have been a big reader and lover of other people's works from FanFiction.net or other sites, but have always been far to self conscious to post anything anywhere remotely public. I am slowly learning the ropes, but I absolutely love the idea that this site promotes critiques and reviews of other writer's works for points. How can we all get better if we don't know what we need to work on?

I look forward to getting to know some of you and reading your works! Wish me luck!
