Hello. I'm here to gain experience with my writing, and nothing else. Anything other than that will lead to me feeling envious.
I'm a budding fantasy writer. No, not your "Unicorns and fairies" fantasy. I'm talking culture-clash kingdoms, tyrannies, sacred weapons, modern demons.

Welcome to YWS!

I'm curious; what are you hinting at when you say "anything other" and "nothing else"? Improving your writing is great, and I think that's why most of us come here... but what are you worried about getting envious of? and what are you thinking will get you envious? I'm only asking because you mentioned it, but if you don't feel comfortable answering me I'll completely understand!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay! Also, lovely genre. The fun thing about unicorns and fairies is they can be just as - or more - sinister as modern demons. That's what I love about writing.

Welcome! If you need any help navigating the site, or if you need a review, or really anything, juse send me a PM. I'd love to lend a hand.

Also, I hope you're not too set on writing experience being the only thing you accomplish on YWS. From my experience it's next to impossible to be a member of YWS and not make friends. Lol
I do wish you luck with your writing, and I hope that YWS will both help with that and be full of pleasant surprises. :)

This sounds fantastic.

I must concur, though, on the note of unicorns and fairies; I have a WIP that includes flesheating fairies that attack magic, and may very well be used as weapons by tyrants that be. They don't always need to represent bubbly fairytale creatures~

But, yeah. If you ever want to ramble on about worldbuilding, characters, demons or anything else, feel free to message me =]

Welcome Otavarice! I'm Sagitta ^^

Hey, unicorns and faeries can be pretty damn cool sometimes - there is a Japanese unicorn called Sin-you that was noted for its ability to tell wrong from right. During a man's trial, it charged and killed the guilty. Faeries (fairies, fae, whatever) are not all tiny cutesy winged elves, either. Their magic is dark, dangerous, and far older than human society.
Ah, you're into my kind of fantasy! I love the deep dark stuff myself, and demons are pretty darn awesome. Kingdoms and wars are kind of a no-go for me - so big and complicated! However, I adore worldbuilding and creature building and that stuff. What's your favourite part of being a writer?

Glad to have you here! I'm really curious about your work o.o I hope you post some of it here!
