How did you find out about YWS? From a friend? Google? Magazine?

If you found out about YWS through a search engine, do you happen to remember what search term you used?

Thanks!

Google. And I remember the search term was 'Young Writers' Sites' ^_^

Google. I searched for can children publish their books
Our thing progresses
I call and you come through
Blow all my friendships
To sit in hell with you
But we’re the greatest
They’ll hang us in the Louvre
Down the back, but who cares? Still the Louvre.

I was actually looking for this website I had discovered where people put up fanfiction and I was also, at the time, desperately looking for someone to aid me in my novel, I just happened upon this and I thought "gee this'll be perfect for me to put stuff up, just run in and out." Well I got pulled into YWS and though what exactly I typed in is a mystery to me, and I never found that website ether, I'm just glad I found friends in YWS:{P

I think I stumbled upon this when I was looking for a place where 'non-established' authors could post up their works and critic each other. Prior to that, I had been desperate to find Eragon fanfiction, of which I was a crazy fan at the time. So I kind of hit two birds with one stone.

Google. I searched for young writer's groups in my area, after a horrifying experience with a writing group of women in their late seventies, who's main focus was erotica. XD

I searched "Good writing sites for teens" in google, and this page from Yahoo popped up.

Google. I got tired of dA 'cause you don't get any good feedback. Searched for "young writer's site", clicked on the first hit. I think it kinda assures you get YWS xD

Yeah, Google. I googled something like "young writers website" and this came up. Out first I was here under another name that I have long forgotten for about fifteen minutes and then I left and played some online pool or something. After a few months I re-googled and re-joined as muah.
