I'm barraz, and, as you may have noticed, I'm new here. I found the site while looking for people to help me write for a blog-site I'm creating, but it seems like a site I could get into. How do you veterans like the site?
Hey there, Barraz, nice to meet you and welcome to the site! I'm not sure if I count as a veteran as I've been a member less than a year but the site's great! No member here will tell you differently because [s]they are afraid of the Big Brother Mod Squad[/s] it's the truth!
Haha. So why don't you tell us a little about yourself? Afterall, this thread belongs to you. What do you like to write? What hobbies do you have, interests in sport or music?
And if you have any questions or would like a critique, feel free to pm me. Enjoy the site,
Well, I've been writing for the last few years, but over the last couple months I've really been devoting myself to it. I've won a few local writing contests, and competing was pretty fun.
Most of what I write is fiction, although I try to keep it pretty realistic. Occasionally I'll write something that's a little more out there, but for the most part it's pretty down to earth.
A lot of my inspiration comes from music. My favorite band is probably Nirvana, but I'm really down with System of a Down, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Really just anything that has meaningful lyrics.
...Of course, when it comes to meaningful lyrics, you don't get much deeper and heartfelt than Soulja-Boy.
LOL *starts doing the Soulja Boy dance very badly*
Charlie: Niteowl, what exactly are you doing? And what on earth is this Soldier Boy?
Niteowl: *shakes head* It's Soul-jah Boy, Charlie. He's a rapper. And this dance goes with one of his songs.
Charlie: They make songs out of tissue paper now?
Niteowl: No, it's like when people speak to the beat of the music
Charlie: So if I were to turn some music on and start announcing, I would be rapping?
Niteowl: Not exactly...You've heard "Slim Shady", haven't you?
Charlie: Of course. That cat's got some groovy beats.
Niteowl: Well, that's rapping, okay? Can we go on to the gift-giving now?
Okay, before I present your gift, I apologize for attempting to explain rap to a 75-year-old cheesy announcer robot in your welcome thread. Now, Charlie, got anything for Barraz here?
YO, HOME GIRL, YOU BET I GOT SOME GOODIES UP IN DA HIZ-OUSE!!! 'SUP BARRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ? I GOT SOME PHAT SMILEYS FOR YOU UP IN HERRE, DAWG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nite: *groans* Charlie, that wasn't necessary. Go back to being a cheesy announcer. It's what I built you for.
Charlie: Sorry. Guess I'm trying to get down with you youngsters too much.

Ah, Soulja boy. Such poetic genius! So inspired! *Mwah!*
Welcome to the site! I'm Keira. I don't think I'll be able to top what niteowl just did, so I'm not even going to try...
PM me if you need anything! I hope you like it here and I can't wait to read some of your work!

Sgt: Now, it's quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him 'elpless.
Palin: What if he's got a bunch?
Well, first, I'd like to welcome you to the site and tell you that there is no turning back from here. You have stumbled upon the site of no return. Lol. I'm just joshin' ya'. But, seriously. Now that you've joined, you're never going to want to leave.
Anyway, if you *do* consider me as a veteran, I have quite a large opinion of YWS. Here it goes:
1) YWS is full of some crazy, loonies. (But, they're my crazy loonies. Love you guys!)
2) This is the best site that I have ever found (I'm talking all sites).
3) I'd rather die than see this site die.
4) When you make friends here, you'll realize that they're not really friends, but siblings of writing.
5) I live, laugh, and love more, because of this site.
And, to top it all off, I had a very, very personal problem that happened about a week after I joined YWS. I couldn't hold it in, so I went to the chat to let it out to the random people in there, and those random people got me through it. I thought they'd tell me to buzz off, but no. They helped me. This isn't just a writing site. This is a miracle/healing site.
<3,
Melissa
P.S. Feel free to PM me about anything.

Welcome to YWS. I'm Rick. I hope you enjoy the site as much as we all do. After you get 25 reviews, you can access the YWS chatroom and talk about any work you're doing, ask for crits for anything, ask anyone if they have something they want/need critted, and/or just hang out in and talk about your day. Before you post your own work, you need atleast two crits. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions/concerns about anything.
Heyhey from sunny Ireland! Is the weather bad in England? That's bad to hear...then again I'm doing AS Levels so my Mother won't let me out unless I've got my books in my arms, which I haven't...hence I am online...
Anways! Welcome to YWS!
You've won some local competitions? Cool. Hope you settle in alright. I'm always here to help anyway if you need it. Just PM.
*Eimear*
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
