Young Writers Society

Hi! I'm 16 years old and I'm from the Philippines. I've been writing since I was around 8 years old.

Firstly: Your username is awesomesauce

Secondly: Welcome to YWS, we provide free straightjackets!
I hope you'll have as fantastical a time as I have

Anyhoodledoodle, I'll need to brief you on some rules:
--> Please keep chatspeak and CAPS lock to an absolute minimal, please.
--> Rate your works whenever possible. Works with adult content and strong language should be rated 'R'.
--> We have this important rule called the 2:1 ratio rule, where for every piece of work you post, you should review two other pieces of work done by others.

Also, if you haven't noticed our coloured usernames yet, here are the jobs:
Grey - The normal members, who don't really wish to hold an extra responsibility, but are just as important as those who do
Blue - Greeters, like me. We greet the new members and make them feel welcome, giving them the basic info and such
Purple - Instructors. They help you out with the posting of your work, give you tips on writing, and if you're nice enough, they'll even help you out by giving you a critique!
Light Green - Junior Moderators. They assist the Moderators.
Dark Green - Moderators. They help keep the forums neat and orderly, and make sure we behave
Red - Administrators. They oversee just about everything in YWS. The Mods help them out. We've got 3 of them: Nate (He created YWS), Firestarter and Meshugenah.
Orange - Distinguished members. Basically retired Mods.

Oooh! Do remember to check out our YWS Chat! It's been newly refurbished!
You're from the Philippines? Welcome, fellow Asian
I can understand a little Tagalog.
So tell us more about yourself! Likes and dislikes?
What kind of stuff do you write about? Poetry? Some genre of fiction?

Feel free to PM me if you've got any queries, and I'll see you around!
Have a great day!
~Meep(:

*_* You're from the Philippines?! Yes!! More Filpinos! Woot!

Welcome to YWS unsquishable. I'm Shina, one of the blue-titled people known as greeters. It's our job as well as our pleasure to greet you guys ^^

Hehe, no matter how long you've been writing or how good you are, YWS will make you TEN times better! Not joking! The instructors, greeters, mods, and so on are all great reviewers, advice givers, critics, and teachers! They'll teach you everything from proper format to how to get your message across in your writing. They'll teach you how to show and not tell and how to start off a good story!

Keep and open mind and learn! Take advantage of this site! Writing teachers and classes cost so much these days, when right here you've got your own little workshop just for you.

It's like Dr. Suess but for older people! (though, I must say, Dr. Suess is timeless!)

Since Meep has covered the tech stuffs, I'll go over what I think is important.

When someone signs your guestbook, sign theirs back. It's polite

Don't take all reviews to heart. When you post you're giving everyone permission to review and say what they feel. Take the suggestions you feel are write and your writing will improve by far!

THat's all for now!

Meep and Angel seem to have done a well enough job with critiquing and such things so I'll just say hi . I'm The.Dreamwalker but most people just call me dreamwalker, TDW, or just DW. You can call me whatever you want

And wow you've been writing for a long time . I started about 5 years ago when it comes to novels and such but thats amazing that you've taken such a flare to writing at such a young age!

It's a pleasure to meet you and if you need anything feel free to PM me, whether that be a friend or someone to review your work .

From Dreams to Reality

Hey Unsquishable! Where did you get the idea for that totally awesome username? It made me laugh, I'm sure it'll do the same for many others here at YWS (Young Writers Society)


Forgot to mention, I'm Vivacious, but you can call me Vivi, Viv, Vivz, Vi, Viva or any of the sort. Or my real name Chloe, so Clo, Cloclo...

You're from the Philippines? One of my friends has family there.
