Hi, yes, I'm a newbie and I'm loving all of the new and exciting reading material presented at YWS. I've posted two of my works: Lone Teen (first 3 chapters) and My Teenage Inferno (short story), but I'm still waiting on feedback. There's loads of stuff to read and have fun reviewing on YWS. I don't really know how everything goes about this site and I don't know any people on it lol. Humans are adapted to learn though right lol? Well, again I just wanted to say hii=)

HELLO!

Welcome welcome..*confetti* *candy* *puppies* *hugs*
Well welcome to the YWS this site is pretty darn amazing..well I love it anyways.
If you need anything just let me know..I would be happy to read your stuff and comment for you as long as you return the favor and comment on as many user's work as possible on the site..critiquing is good.
Don't forget that you must keep the critiquing/posting (as far as stories and I believe poems go anyways) to a 2/1 ratio..I always forget.
Also critquing is good becuase you get point! And in a way the points don't really matter, they are just a little something to hold the site together (lol jk) but you do need them for storybook posting.
Be sure to check out the storybooks, they are really fun and an easy way to get ideas going and to practice different writing styles and such..
Anyways welcome..pm me..go to my profile..whatever you need I'm there..

All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage, and I promise you something great will come of it.

Hey there!

Welcome to YWS! I'm Gahks (pronounced 'garks'); glad to meet you!

I'm sure you'll pick up the nuts and bolts of this site when you start having a look round; it's really easy to find your way about. Critique as much as you can: everyone else will adore you for it!

You sound like a writer of teen fiction to me; are there any other genres that interest you? Romance? Horror? Sci-Fi? I'm sure there are plenty of people here who'd love to read what you've written. Do you have any hobbies or interests?

Feel free to PM me if anything's on your mind. Otherwise, stay cool and have fun!

See you around!

Best wishes,

Gahks

Hi and welcome!

It's great that you've gotten started that well! And luckily you've remembered to give reviews, too. I'll take a look at your work soon!

Firearris pretty much said everything technical, so I'll just stick on being nice and not making a fool of myself. Haha :D I'm so funny.

...

I'm sorry, I'm a little tired now, I've walked around a city all the day... So I'm not very alert and definitely not funny, I think. I mean, for now. Usually I am.

Okay, I'll stop. Have an extra dextra super duper fantastic time here on the greatest site ever!!! Oh, and PM me if and when you need reviews or any help, or just want to talk, and I'll be there. See you around!

Hugs

Hello and welcome to YWS. Judging from your post, you seem to like writing on the teenage age group. Well there is nothing actually wrong about that, it's qutie easily to fall onto the cliches of teenage literature and end up having a sterotypical narrative. Let's face it, cliches annoy the heck out of me. If I tend to have a teenage character, I try to avoid teenage sterotypes and treat them more like adults or justifying the reasons as to why they feel that way without making them seem annoying or teenage angsty. But hey, that's just me.

Hope you'll enjoy the site.

Andy.
