Young Writers Society

For anyone who got that allusion--with or without referencing my penname as an aid--I tip my ivy cap. You can call me any variant of Candide you like--save, of course, Candy (I do not answer to Candy, lol), and I'll more than likely come up with some more-or-less bizarre nickname for you, as that's a habit of mine. I'm a poet and a prosodist, a writer and an editor, and I'm in search of a writer's site that will help me expand my abilities and potential.

Let's see, what pertinent information can I share?

Well, I'm a sophomore in college and I live in New York City, I am myself (and whether that means I'm different from everyone else or the same as them, I couldn't care less, though my vain side likes to think I'm unique), my "u" key is being a bitch, I probably swear too much, I have a cat named Doberman (or Manny, for short), and a pup named Mozart (or Mo). I'm omnisexual, a Rufus Wainwright junkie, a political and social activist, and a bit of a loner. I also have a sharp tongue, which I will attempt to curb here, I suppose.

In any event--this is me. Questions? Comments? Cocaine?

Bonjour Candide,

Welcome to YWS ^_^ I'm adoring the black and white of your avatar. It's nice to see others in love with those sort of things.

If you have any questions about the site or get lost on your way around, feel free to contact me.

What kind of fiction do you write?

Best of luck with the U key.

87? How interesting, an octogenarian on a teenage website.

A fan of Candide? Why, seeing that the world is not as good as El Dorado, where you live, but isn't that bad, I will greet you:

Greetings.

As to being yourself: you are, at once, both what everyone else is and who you are. The latter, however, does make you unique, congratulations!

A social and political activist? You'll fit right into the Debate usergroup.


Have fun here.

Ofour

Hello there Candide. I suppose I shall have to resist from the urge to call you Candy but I must ask what you have against the nickname? I think it's adorable.

Anyway, welcome to the site, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. I do have a few questions too. What genre do you enjoy reading? Do you have a favourite author?

That will do for now and my help is also available if you're feeling lost or if you want any of your work critiquing,

Heather xx (Feel free to call me Heath, Kitty, Kit, Wev, Weather or Candy )

Hi and welcome to the YWS! I'm Sumi - yes, I HAVE been nicknamed Inky, Inkster, Baroninka, so you don't have much to do with me, nickname wise -, feel free to PM me anytime you need anything ^^

Is that Marilyn Monroe in your avatar? (*isn't sure, has seen a grand total of TWO MM-esque people, courtesy of Clau's avatars*)

^^ Hope you like it here! Gambatte!
~Sumi

Well you sound agreeable enough.

I'm Ed, and you may call me such; though you're equally free to coin a new moniker if you so wish. I'll have my chosen nickname for you eventually... just know it'll have very little to do with your nickname--if it's related at all.

Hey Candide! Actually, I played Overture to Candide once in band -- that was the first time I ever picked up piccolo. Just a bit of trivia for ya.

Welcome! I'd just like to point out that while swearing is fine in literature, please try to censor yourself in the community forums -- we just want to make it friendly for all audiences.

Other than that, have fun! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or any of the other mods or admins (although Nate, our site admin, is currently away for the summer, but Meshugenah and Firestarter are both available).

Enjoy!

Oh, I loved playing that piece!

Hmm. i want to call you Cad.

Anyhoo! Welcome to YWS! If you have any questions, feel free to ask (and I be guilty of being one of those admin types Crysi mentioned ).

And for the record, Rufus Wainwright is awesome. But I will admit to being one of those fans who keeps discovering what he's written, especially after a friend of mine transcribed and arranged a medley of his work for her senior project this year... I still can't believe how amazing that was. Anyway! I'm done, honest

Ah, Candide. Yes, Voltaire really was on drugs. ^_^

When I read the title, I thought immediately of the lovely piece of satire. I've even thought about ending a piece of my work with everyone working in a garden as a tribute, but I don't think I could pull it off. And I seem to recall something about the consumption of a woman's rear. Weird stuff.

Welcome to YWS. Tis the best place to better your writing. Have a good look around and feel free to post some work. A piece of advice: you're more likely to get crits if you give lots to other people, so don't be shy.

I'm afraid I referenced to your username to get that one but at least I got it....LOL.

Well, welcome to YWS. If you need anything at all feel free to pm me and I'll be happy to help you out.

I'll pass on the cocaine however I have both a question and a comment.

Question: What is your favourite type of ice-cream?
Comment: I like your avvie.

See you around,
Alainna
