Well well well, looks like I signed up to a forum. Had to happen sometime.
So hi, my name's Asith (yes, it's my real name) and I'm a 14-year-old aspiring author.

Well, I say "author" but I've only written a few short stories for myself so far. I am however now working on my own fantasy novel - trilogy to be precise. That's really why I came to this site, to meet other new authors and learn from experienced ones.

Speaking of which, it'd be great if someone could direct me to where I would go about that (this forum is so huge :p). Maybe create a dedicated topic for my series where I could post little updates, or post extracts and have people review it? From the little I've seen, that's one of the main points of this forum, right?

Hi there, @Asith, and welcome to YWS! Your trilogy sounds intriguing!

If you want to have a topic for your series, try posting in Writers Corner. There's a lot of awesome tags there.

For posting extracts click "Publishing Center" that's on the top of your page! Create a folder for your novel and then publish it! It'll appear in the Green Room, where people can review your novel extracts.

A bit of a long message, but I hope this helps! :)

Ha! Long messages are what I expected from a forum based on literature :)
Thanks for the tips, I'll give them a shot!

Asith! Welcome to YWS! The Writer's Corner is wonderful for Project Talk, advice, and general updates on your novel/short stories--but if you'd like critiques on your work, we have The Publishing Center, which can be found at the top of every YWS page. You simply post your work there, and within no time you'll receive reviews (critiques) on how things may improve and develop more organically--really, anything if I'm honest. Hah.

I hope you come to love YWS like I do, and soon find it like an internet home! You'll find no shortage of advice here, so never hesitate to ask! My inbox is always open if you need me. :)
