Hey everybody...I guess I'm new here. This place looks like an unusually good writing site (they're difficult to find :wink: ), and posting here and everything should be fun, I'm looking forward to reviewing some stuff and posting my own pile of rubbish for you guys to tear apart :D

BTW the stuff I write is basically an attempt to try to hellishly fuse gothic horror, steampunk and science fantasy into a single hodgepodge of most-likely-poorly-written crap. Good times!!

Well, I'll be posting around the board and such.
It's good to be here, everybody, cheers.

Hey hey, welcome. That sounds like a strange mix of genre-sounding stuff, lol. Be assured though, we have some extremely good critiquers here, so your bound to have your stuff mercilessly ripped to shreds. Until its brilliant.

Welcome.

Oooh gothic fusion stuff sounds fun! I'll gladly tear it apart, but gently. No use causing major injury to it. There are other people on the boards who are more than happy and skilled at doing so.

Hope you have fun at YWS! I know I am ^_^

I'm not the best at critiquing. :/ I do enjoy reading, though! I just don't know how helpful I'd be with an actual critique of your writing.

But welcome to YWS anyway! It's nice to meet you.
Write from the heart and nothing can go wrong. It's when you write from the wallet that the feeling goes away.

Hi. And welcome. Sometimes I feel like a gift-giving machine because I don't say anything else. Your writing sounds really interesting. However, I usually review in the poetry forums because I can't critique stories. Anyway, without further ado (as my cheesy announcer guy is on vacation), here's your gift: :D :) :( :o :shock: :? :lol: :x :P :oops: :cry: :evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink: :!: :?: :idea: :arrow: :| :mrgreen: :elephant: :D :) :( :o :shock: :? :lol: :x :P :oops: :cry: :evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink: :!: :?: :idea: :arrow: :| :mrgreen: :elephant:

hellstrife--


The most unusual part of the site is actually the YWS Writing Blog, Squills, which randomly has tremendous in- and out-flux of use. It's sort of like girls going through their periods--they all get it at once!

Anyway, welcome to YWS!


Best,
Brad

Um.. yeah, nice simile Brad. ;)

Just out of interest, what exactly is steampunk? Sounds.. vaguely familiar, but it'd be useful to know.

Hope you have fun here, though it sounds like you already are.. what with the 'unusually good' comment. Have to say I agree, by the way... t'is a fun place to be!

See you 'round the forums,
