Hey everyone~

I'm Marked_Girl, it's nice to meet you all.

Hiya Marked! Welcome to YWS!

Here are a few rules for you:

1.) There is a 2:1 ratio rule here on YWS when it comes to reviewing and submitting your own work. This means you must review two pieces of work before submitting your own.

2.) Please do not use chat-speak or all CAPs in your posts. For example: "u r da g8est, ma boi" or "YOU ARE AWESOME!!! KEEP UP THAT WRITING!!!". You may use term abbreviations such as lol, POV and MC.

3.) Please review your work. If there are sex scenes or vulgar language, such as the F-word, please rate it R and so on.

If you have any questions or would like a review, feel free to PM me.

Hi Marked! Selene has already explained you the rules, but if you want to know more, don't be afraid to create you thread. PM me if you need anything!

Hi, I'm Lillie and I'm pretty new. My friend Becka advised me to get YWS (she's beckiw) and I'm so glad I acted on her advice - this is pretty awesome! She and several other people advised me to come here and say hi, so hi!
I'm a big reading fan - i have more books than I can count - but I live in a house of non-readers. Crazy!! Also I've been writing for as long as I can remember, and my first proper story was when I was in Year 2 and I wrote a 5-page long story about the time my sister's hamster escaped (hehe). I'm currently writing a 'novel'. It started in a very boring french lesson as a technical exercise when my friend and I started making up the plotline, and I, for some reason, thought it would be fun to see if I could write a story the length of a novel. Over a year later, here I am. I'm still writing the same story, but I started again for the third time the other day. Doh! Sometimes being a perfectionist (not that my work if perfect ) and a harsh critic of my own work is tiring... Thanks for this awesome site!

Well you don't have to worry about that with me. I have writing issue. I try to write how i should, and TRY and kill as many spelling mistakes as possible.

Uh, hello. Not quite sure if this is how you do the whole "reply" system... Found this site through a friend, aaaaand, I guess you can call me Velvet, or whatever. I hope this is right, it's so confusing! XD

I'm used to the ease of fictionpress, this is just so alien for me.

Hiya Lillie! We've already met, flute buddy! And I'm sure Becki explained all the rules to ya.

Velvet! Welcome to the wonderful world of YWS! Of course your post is correct. In this website, there's nothing like a wrong post! Unless you violate these rules :

~2:1 ratio - For each piece you write and post make sure you've reviewed at least two others.
~Rate your works - Any works with explicit scenes or uses the f-word must be rated R. If it isn't rated such, then it shows up on the front page!
~Always use proper grammar and spelling. That is, limit chatspeak. An occasion 'brb' or 'lol' is fine. But, saying 'b' not be and 'g2g' really gets on people's nerves.
~Don't use all caps. No one wants to read something written LIKE THIS. Ya?

^_^ I think that's it for now. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, need a review, or just want to talk.

Hey! Guess I new here too...ha ha...oops I didn't know about the chat speak rule. I am just reading the rules know. Awesome site, perfect cure for facebook addicts...gives me a more creative and healthier way to spend my time.

Hiya Druthie!

Welcome to YWS. Since you already explained the rules I won't go over them.

So, what genres do you read and write???

Welcome to YWS!!!

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, need a review, etc...

Hi I'm new here, I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of other writers then just the 2 or 3 at my school. (by the way, yes I'm a girl, the pic is just something i made)

Welcome, packmaster. Here are some main rules here on YWS!

*The 2:1 ratio - Make sure you rate two other works before posting your own. People are more willing to review your work, if you've reviewed there's.
*Rate your works - Any works with graphic scenes or use of the f-word must be rated R. If it isn't rated R then it's on the front page.
*Limit chatspeak. Use proper spelling and grammar. POV, lol, brb, are all fine. srsly its soo anoying. <--- I can't even do it anymore.

So, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me!

Haloo! Good...uh....uhm... sorry, I don't know what time it is on your side of the world... Oh, I know! (Can you scratch what I said earlier? I'm embarrassed...! Let me repeat that again!)

*Ahem*... Haloo! Good Highnoon...!*giggles* My name here is Mion! Nice to meet you all! I hope I make even 1 understanding forum-mate here!
(I wish this isn't like the other forum... But I have a good feeling here after the introductions!)

Hey Mion and welcome to YWS! It's great to see you here, and I love that animation. It's cute. Are you going to use it as an avatar?

Well, before you post stuff, I have to go over the rules. These are standard with just about every first greeting, unless someone's willing to let someone else explain the rules and other stuff.

1. Keep the 2:1 review ratio. It makes sure that people get reviews for everything they post. Besides, the more you can find in someone's work, even if it's just what you enjoyed, it'll be beneficial to your own writing. Just so you know, a review can't be just "OMG! I loved this! Write more!!1!" It has to be about 3 lines to be counted as a review.

2. And next, write properly. This means no using chat/netspeak, also proper spelling, grammar, and capitalization. This is a writer's website, so it's expected of everyone here.

So, those are the rules. Now, why would you be discriminated? Discrimination is something that's just not done here, and I can say that with almost one hundred percent certainty. I don't know everyone on YWS, but everyone here's really friendly. Now, do tell us more about yourself.

Well, if you ever need anything, you can PM me. I hope to see you around sometime, Mion. See ya!

Hey! Thanks for the advice! I will make sure to follow all the rules to the best of my abilities. WOOOO!!!
