Welcome to the site, @Joblesguy! Sorry you don't want to be here! Hopefully that will change as you get to know the community and get helpful advice on your work! c:
My name is Leo. I'm not sure if it's even been an hour since I joined this site. I don't feel particularly lost just yet so I'm just jumping around for a bit.
Um...I'm not particularly good at writing. I know I struggle to write short stories, I've never completed a story that had more than one chapter (i.e. I've never completed a story), my vocabulary can be painfully simple at times and I'm terrible at portraying emotion. These are the things I wish to work on.
I hope I actually have some improvement here and I hope I'll enjoy my stay

Hey there @Leo! YWS is a great place for you to practice those things you're struggling with. It's already a very good thing that you can recognize your weaknesses.
Have fun!

@Wolfical You beat me! Hi, @Leo , welcome to YWS! I joined recently as well, and it's a really awesome site. I hope you love it as much as I do! I'm Ghost Writer, but you may call me Ghostie or Carine. Either is fine, I'm flexible!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site. I really wanted a chance to post my work and get feedback in a friendly online community. Can I just say, this place seems perfect. Thank you. Just a quick question. I've seen all of these fancy functions colours and things on people's posts. I've heard it's code or something? How do you use it? Thank you again!

The code on YWS is really easy to use, just takes a bit to remember it sometimes. If you want to use italics, the code is: [i*]your text goes here[/i*] (but without the stars), bold is just [b*]text here[/b*]. If you want to do purple text (who DOESN'T?!) it's: [color=purple*]text goes here[/color*] (note that in the color codes, the word 'color' has to spelt the US way- the way I've spelt it here).
