Young Writers Society

Hello everyone! I'm Cassidy, I'm 13, and I am quite...livid today.

I like to write weird, wacky stories, as well as horror, fantasy, and a bit of sci-fi. I'm sort of the eccentric, strange one of my friends (more like my school XD) so eh...if I freak you out sometime soon, don't worry, that's a normal side-effect.

So uh...yeah...hi everyone!

Hey Cassidy! Welcome to YWS!

I'm quite new as well, so I have some advice: Click around the website, read the forums, look at the threads...it will help you a lot. =)

I'm excited to read your stories! That's cool that you like to write weird, wacky stories...I love those! Haha.

So what are your favorite things to do? Do you like any sports? Any particular bands?

Talk to you soon!

Hey Cassidy! Welcome to the wacky world of YWS!!!!!!

Eccentric, huh? So am I. My friends all call me insane.

So, we have a couple of basic rules here at YWS. Break them, and the mods will hunt you down and eat you alive!!! Just kidding. Every one's really nice here, and I'm sure you'll find a ton of new friends soon.

1) 2:1 ratio. That means for every story/poem that you post, you have to submit 2 reviews. Reviews are generally 3 lines long.
2) NO CAPS OR CHAT-SPEAK. Please. They do nothing except give people headaches.
3) Rate your work!!! (ex: R would be a piece that contains swearing, etc.)

Um, so that's about it.

So, tell us about yourself. Favorite colors? Flavor of ice cream? Hobbies besides writing? We're very nosy, as you'll soon find out.

Feel free to PM me if you need a helping hand!

See ya around.

Thanks guys! You make me feel welcome here.

Well, I play lacrosse, volleyball, tennis, and I used to play soccer. That makes me sound really athletic but I'm actually kind of lazy .

I like most music between Indie and Screamo, and some of my favorites bands are Cash Cash, Muse, and Flyleaf.

Colors...hm, that's a hard one. Well, I like black ^_^.

I find mint chocolate chip ice cream absolutely delectable.

And, I like to glue my ears to my giant headphones, scream (not the fangirl way), run around in Doc Martens, climb tress, give myself reasons to act like a spaz, and act like a spaz.

You've all been very helpful =D, thanks again.

Hiyas Cassidy! Welcome to YWS! *hands a piece of cheesecake*

I'll give you a quick run-through of the members and their colors. ^-^

Black - Regular Members
Blue - Greeters. They roam the Welcom forum, so I'm sure you'll meet quite a few.
Purple - Instructors. They're the best reviewers on the site and help to make YWS a more grammatically correct place.
Green - Moderators. Light greens are juniors and dark greens are full moderators. ^-^
Red - Administration.

Muse and Flyleaf are awesome. However, I've never heard Cash Cash... I think.

Lazy? You don't seem like a lazy person. Tennis is super fun, but I've only played a few times.

Anywho.... Do you have a favorite author or book? And what about your favorite animal?

PM me if you need anything. I'll try to help to the best of my extent.

Smiles!

Hey Cassidy and welcome to our big happy family called YWS! I'm Selene *shakes hand* and it's wonderful to meet you!

Ooo, I love Flyleaf! My favorite song from them is "All Around Me" and I listen to it all the time. Muse is cool, but I don't listen to them as much.

So have you been wondering about how you get your rank higher? Well it's based off of posts, and since you have more than five posts, you're now a novice. ^_^ Awesome, right? Well, it gets even better as you post more and more, and your rank gets higher. Here are the ranks:

New Member: 0-4 posts
Novice: 5-14 posts
Junior Writer: 15 - 49 posts
Writer: 50 - 99 posts
Senior Writer: 100 - 249 posts
Novelist: 250 - 499 posts
Speaker of the Forum: 500+ posts

Those are the ones you should know, but there are others like Master of the Forum and Writer of Legend. It's really fun to see your rank get higher, and also since YWS is such a huge site, many here have a ridiculous amount of posts.

Do you mind some more questions?

~Who's your favorite author?

~What's your favorite book/trilogy/series?

~Do you like to handwrite your work or type it?

~What are you currently writing?

If you have any questions or would like me to review your work sometime, feel free to PM me!

Looks like every type of of greeting has been here xD


So, now for a special song-greeting!

Look at this site? Isn't it neat?
YWS is a place that can never be beat!
Wouldn't you think we're a site,
A site that has, everything?

Look at the forums, full of great stuff.
How many wonders can one website hold?
Looking around here you'd think:
Yes, they're amazing!

We've got instructors and greeters a-plenty!
We've got mods and a Nate galore.
You want a review? June's done many!
But who cares? No big deal. We'll do more!

We wanna help everyone that comes around,
we wanna see, wanna see them writing!
Writing on papers with those
Whaddya call em'? Oh, pens.

Typing away you don't get too far,
Mentors are required for self-improvement.
Painting those pictures on,
What's that word again? Canvases.

Up where they write, up where they post,
Up where they talk all day in the chat-room.
Wandering free, wish you could be
Part of this site!


Good Luck & Have fun

Haha, thank you everyone, that was grand

I don't really have a favorite author-or a favorite book. I usually just zip through piles of really good books and then forget everything later. Sort of like a hangover XD

I prefer typing simply because it's easier and my handwriting is incredibly sloppy.

Right now, I'm writing for fun about a very strange and silly story about a girl who suddenly catches a 'disease' that makes her get into weird situations...I'm not quite sure if I should continue it though because I can't think of a decent plot. Usually, I write more mature, scary things, but this might work for now..
