Hey dudes, just wanted to letcha know that I'm new here - though you probably would've guessed because for one: I'm posting in this thread introducing myself and for another: I haven't posted any stories or reviews, yet. Anyhow, I'm eighteen years-old, got into reading and writing when I was eight (when Harry Potter first came to the U.S.) and have been hooked with learning new styles and new books ever since. Fascinating really, how just one woman can make the difference in millions of people lives (at any age) and is almost entirely responsible for the literacy of millions of the world's children. I mean all that in the best way imaginable! It just goes to show you women are capable and intelligent and witty and every other good word known to man!

J.K. Rowling is a goddess, I am a mere mortal; therefore, I bow down.

Welcome to YWS Simmy! I'm Lupe, one of the Greeters here. Basically one of my jobs is to say hey to all the newbies. We also should help them out a bit and get them started. I really like J.K. Rowling too. Fantasy is my favorite genre and my weak spot :P

You may have noticed the colored names here. We get a lot of questions about that so I'll tell you straight off.

Dark Blue: Regular members (You guys)

Light Blue: Greeters (Me, we help the newbies)

Purple: Instructors (These guys are the ones to go to when you need help with writing or critiques)

Light Green: Jr. Moderators (Mods in training)

Dark Green: Moderators (They help run the site and keep the boards clean)

Red: Admins (Creators and up keepers)

Orange: Distinguished Members (They used to be Mods or Admins but they had to quit)


The rules and announcements are here. I suggest you check them out. Also I'd like to tell you that there is a rule that you must have two good critiques in for each story that you post.

If you have an questions PM me or one of the colored members. There are other members that are older and don't have a color. They will also happily answer all your questions.

Welcome to the family,
Lupe

Hey there, Simmy!

Welcome to YWS! Yeah, J.K. Rowling is adorable, isn't she? I often think how it's so curious that all of the books came from her head. Authors are really something to look up to as I really would love to be one of them someday.

Because I'm a Greeter as well, I'm going to remind of the rules, but as Layleun has already done it, I will be short. Remember to read the rules. :) And before you post your own stuff, please do at least two reviews. Then you'll be fine.

See you around and PM if there are problems!

Hola and welcome to gratest site in the world. We all, obviously, love writing and reading. That being the case, the site offers many forums for you to enjoy such as Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romantic Fiction, etc. We also have a unique forum I've never seen anywhere else: Storybooks. They're roleplaying stories. Many people like them. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to PM me. I'll help as best I can.
