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. :)

Hey, @slytherwin! Welcome to the site!

Want to talk about your project? Head on over to the Writers Corner! If you have a question about writing, then head on over to Research! Is your question not big enough to warrant its own thread? Ask away in Little Details!

Hi? My name's Riah and I'm in the midst of transferring over from another writing site that started becoming really unappealing. I hope this experience is better: this site already seems really cool. I've had an account for a while now but I kinda forgot about it. Anyways, it's cool to be here. Yeah.

Hello there! My name's Terry, fifteen year old author currently editing my book and wanting to eventually get it published. I have written four books. I came to this site because nobody I know has the time to spare to read my writing, so I have came here in hopes of meeting other writers like myself and people who can help me improve my writing.

In that case, what's editing? Where you go from start to finish over and over again endlessly while dying?

Hello everybody, my name is Daniel (aka DoormanDan)! I just joined this site a few minutes ago, and so far, I like how it looks. I was originally a writer on another writing website (www.writerscafe.org), but that site seems to have gone downhill, so I've been looking for another place to meet writers, review their work and publish my own. This site seems wonderful so far, and I really look forward to review other peoples work!

It takes a little while to get accustomed to everything, but it's definitely worth it! Send me a PM or comment on my wall if you need anything.

Hi guys! I'm new here. So far I've posted three poems. It took alot of thought to post my work in a public space. One of my friends writes on here and encouraged me to join. Thanks for all the support!
