Hi, I'm Took,

It's pretty awesome to finally find a site with other YOUNG writers. I'm really tired of old people writing what they think kids go through. I really don't know my way around yet, but you guys can help with that :D . So, friend me or critque me! I'm totally up for it!

Hey Took! Welcome to the YWS!


If you have any questions or need help finding your way around the site, feel free to pm me at anytime. It is great to be on a site with young writers, and what I think is best is how diverse we all are. The good thing though is that we're all nice! ^_~

What genre do you write most often? Who are your favorite authors? Those types of get-to-know-you questions. ^^ I hope you enjoy the site, and don't find it too difficult to navigate. But if you do, just come find me, and I'll help.

Hi, Took!

Oh my goodness, join the club. Silly grown-up types. The next time I see "homeslice" used in improper context, I'm going to give them a slice of my own.

Welcome to YWS! I do hope I'll get to review some of your stuff soon. ^_^ Poke at me (otherwise known as PMing) if you have any questions about the site, about life, etcetera. Otherwise, see you around the boards, homeslice.

Hahahaha... I am totally a kid. Really. XD

But yeah! I hope you enjoy this site! There's plenty of younger writers, with some old farts like me who vaguely remember the teenage years. And I am a mod, so if you have any questions whatsoever, just ask away. :)

Welcome, Took!

My name's Demeter. What can I tell you about YWS? Well, first of all, this is one of the greatest sites I've ever had the luck to see. And you're right, young writers definitely know the best. Right, everyone? :)

If you have any concerns whatsoever or just want to talk or want to have some reviews, PM me and I'll be there! I'll glad to help – as well as all the others. We're just so nice.

See you around!

Haha. Hi there, Took! ^^
Welcome to YWS!

What genres do you write in? I'd be glad to give you a critique. And since you seem like such a nice person, I'll give you the honour of being my friend. Nah, just kidding. It's not an honour at all. Haha. :D

I'm rubberduck's sister, by the way. My bro, Max, and I share this account. (Though I have my own.)

Alrighty, since nobody has pointed this out... I think I'll tell ya something. ^^

Remember to give 2 reviews before you post a story. (very important. ^^)

Oh. That's right... Those people who have their usernames in blue are greeters (Welcoming Committee, in my words. Haha.). And those who are in green are moderators. So... Just informing you! :D

Seeya 'round!

*Oh yes!
Please PM me when you've posted a story. As I've said before, I'd be glad to give you a critique. :)*

Oh yes! I almost forgot to sound extremely sad about something.

"And I'm just a normal member..." rubberduck sighed.

^^ Haha. There, I'm done.

Hey Took!

I know. I was so happy to finally find a site like this. I've actually read articles titled, "Teenage writers, no matter how much you believe against it, your writing sucks." Because, of course, they know all and we are just puny insignificant writers in this world, and mean nothing.

Anyway. Welcome to YWS! You'll have a wonderful time here. If you have any questions, concerns, of cries of outrage, feel free to PM me or anybody else here. Everybody will be happy to help you.

By the looks of it, you only have on post. Let me explain the point system to you. You see, when you post in a forum, you either lose or gain points (in some forums you don't lose or gain anything at all). The highest amount of points you can get for a post is 50, because we don't want spammers getting 1000 points from copying and pasting a novel. When you post a story, poem, or whatever, you lose 100 points. That's where the "review two, post one" rule comes in. There's also storybooks, which you can PM me about if you have any questions.

Have a nice time!
