Young Writers Society

Salutations, fellow writers! I just signed up, and so far everything looks awesome! I can hardly wait to get feedback from some editors near my age who love fantasy like I do.
So... is a sword a concealed weapon? I have a rapier, and it's rather hard to conceal. What's to stop me from walking into a bank wearing it? It's a free country, I'm not breaking the law. Then again, if I did that, I might be writing my next post from prison...
I'm so excited about this website and meeting anyone who cares to read my writing. Cheers! ~Shafter

Dahling!
Yay, I'm so excited that you're on YWS finally! Can't wait to get some CotS on here, so happy. Happy bird. Everyone, aero, Snoink, DD, this loverly Shafter is my friend, be nice to her!!!!!
And post on her stuff. She's a genious!
(p.s. be nice, but she really doesn't mind having her story ripped to shreds, she comes from a family of writers)

(p.s.s. that doesn't go for me, though, obviously)

Shafter--


Welcome to the YWS! We're glad to critique things here.

I believe a sword is considered a weapon in most public places. Indeed, or at least I've heard, that really you should not bear any (unsheathed) blade over three inches or else you are prone to being arrested.

This is assuming you live in America, of course. I am not familiar with UK law, or wherever it is you might hail from.


All the best,
Brad

Welcome Shafter!!! My name is Aeroman, but everyone calls me Aero. You will have a blast here at YWS, this site has an amazing community, and I've loved every minute of being here. I'm very excited to read your fantasy works, I'm an avid writer of fantasy as well (because I can't write anything else haha ) If you ever need a good critique feel free to PM me! See you around the site!

Aw, I get personally introduced. ^_^ How nice.

Welcome Shafter! Lol, your avatar seems to be hopelessly intwined with that of Sureal (another member) but that's quite allright, it's a pleasure having you. If ever you would like a crit, feel free to PM me.

A rapier, you say? Ahh... go talk to Poor Imp.

Hullo Shafter! Welcome to YWS... I couldn't miss the sword-interjection, you know. ^_^

I know that my foil is looked at askance and disliked by security personnel, and it's not approved of by airlines even when I'm off to compete. ^_~ It has a blunted tip--but 'tis a weapon. I suppose. In technicality.

Anyhow, you'll find a line of fantasy lovers here, all glad to look at your writing. ^_^

Is a sword considered a concealed weapon?

Only, I suspect, if it is concealed.

Welcome! Enjoy your stay here and I know you'll have fun!

As for your question, check with your local laws. For instance, in most States, assuming you're from the US, switch blades are illegal. In my State, you can wear a knife in public, as the long as the blade doesn't exceed 6 inches. But, I personally wear just long shirts to conceal the majority of my "smaller" knives, since the public can be automatically judgemental.

If you are really have that much trouble hiding it partially, there's a good chance it shouldn't be out in public, hence against the law. But check, and make sure. No sense in receiving a slap, right?

Again, enjoy your stay.

Hey Bob, that was my response!

And welcome, Shafter.

See? See? I told you...

So, Shafter dear, when will you be gracing us with Emon's (sorry, the little accent-thingy won't work on here) actual presence? I'm looking forward to seeing the new draft...who knows, he might even have brown hair in this one...*snigger, snigger*

Yay! Shafter's on YWS!!!

Greetings Shafter,

Welcome to the site, as you can see this is a great community and you'll fit right in. I'm a writer of fantasy, historical fiction and all things creepy so beware!

Heya Shafter!

Glad you could come to the site! Swords are really cool-I remember one time on New Year's Eve that we were at a friend's house, and the father owned a sword. I decided I wanted to see it, and I tried pulling it out of the sheath-yeah, not so hot of any idea.

Btw, I'm Wiggy, resident insane member of YWS. lol Just ask anyone... I like fantasy too, although I'm more of a historical fiction buff. If you have any questions or just want to talk, feel free to PM me!

Have fun and keep writing! *huggles*

And here's a welcoming present of a virtual plate of chocolate chip cookies!

Hey Shafter, welcome to the site.

My name's Jack, feel free to contact me for questions and concerns, I'm sad enough to know too much about YWS.

Thanks for all the welcomes! I already LOVE it here, and I will be posting my first chapter soon. This is an awesome site. You guys rock!
