Wow. No responses...

Where are all the greeters?

How discouraging this must have been...

Regardless--
Welcome.

I'm Ed, and I'm confused by your confusion.

First off, welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay here at YWS! :)

You see the globe icon at the top of the page that says "Forums" underneath? If you roll over that icon, then click on the "Literary" tab that pops up underneath, it should take you to a list of forums where you could post your work (different types of poetry or prose, and I think art is there too). We also have a general rule here about critting at least two different pieces before posting one of your own.

So, what do you like to write most?

Bonjour et Bienvenue!


It seems others have already explained how you post stories. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me or any of the other nice folks in green!

Also, be sure to read the Rules, Guidelines, FAQs and before you post anything, read the "Before You Post" thread, of course...

Hope you enjoy the site =)

If you skip over to the literary section of the forums, find a category that best suits what you want to post, then hit the "post a new topic" button at the top left of the list of current topics, and you will find a box much like this one to type or copy/paste what you want to post.

Something you might want to consider before posting: it's easier for people to read (and you're more likely to get critiques) if you space between paragraphs instead of indenting to break it up a little more.

*dusts hands* Now that business is over [and that I've probably repeated what everyone else has said]. WELCOME! I hope you enjoy your stay here, and feel free to PM me with any questions you might have. I'll be glad to help. see you around!

Hi, I'm the Twit. Don't hesitate to call me that, although quite a few of the nicer people on here avoid that name delicately and call me Shadow. Feel me to mix and match. :D

Hope you like YWS!! What AO said about breaking work up is good. Add a space after commas, full stops and all, remember that there's people from USA and UK here, so don't tell someone that they've spelt grey or colour wrong. :) Oh, and crit at least twice before up anything of your won. And even afterwards, carry on critting coz you'll get known, and people will like you.
