Hello people!

My name is Solstice/Sol! I am 15 years old, and I don't really talk about myself that often :/ I love to roleplay, write poetry, play the piano, and other miscellaneous things! I love to talk, so I end up babbling a lot!

Anyways, a little less about me. This is my first day on this website and I already did a review! I'd love to see what else there is here! =D

Hello both of you!

@shatteredstones - Thank you so much! I love all poetry, but challenging myself with different forms is super fun!

@WeepingWisteria - Mostly fantasy! I am not the slice-of-life kind of person, but I don't hate it! A majority of my characters are LGBTQ+ as well! [Also I absolutely love your name, Wist!]

Hey there Solstice! Welcome to the site!

I'm a fan of using different poetry forms too, though I've definitely been writing more free verse than usual on YWS at least xD Is there a particular form you like?

Here are some links that might be helpful to you! We have the Site Rules: Official YWS Rules &amp; Guides

Some guidance on posting your works on this site are also included in that link above.

Guidance on the point system and reviewing tips:
"Review Sandwich"
Reviewing the Gentler Way
A Rundown on Reviewing

Great job on writing your first review by the way! I though it was pretty neat :D

If you ever have a question about the site or need help with something writing or YWS-related feel free to ask me or any of the mods and admins. You can find us using username colours: junior moderators are this shade of green, global moderators are another shade of green and admins are this colour. You could also post a general question in Ask a question here (or start a new topic!) or even on your wall!

Hi Liminality!

Good question! I don't have a favorite, but I really like villanelles! I haven't been able to write one correctly yet, but I'll keep enjoying them from a distance! =D

Also thank you a lot for the links! I will check those out!

Villanelles are so wonderful, great choice!

Hi! Welcome to Yws - I'm one of the poetry mods and love poetry with my whole heart. Do you have a fave song to play on the piano or fave composer? I play a little, but there's a whole crew of musical folks on the site.

Hope you enjoy it here! I look forward to reading your work.
you should know i am a time traveler &

but i have promised to return

Hi lliyah!

Tough one! I haven't been playing that long, but I'm really loving it so far! I like Gershwin when he focused on jazz.

Villanelles are so fun! (And thank you the name compliment. ^^)

And rest assured, our roleplay tab is very LGBTQ friendly. As you can see, I’m non-binary but I’m also ace, and quite a few of our other mods are LGBTQ as well. You’ll feel right at home. :]

Just because you don't feel like a hero in your own story, doesn't mean you're not a hero in someone else's.
