Hello all, I'm Amaryllis. Call me Ryllie, Amy, whatever you like. I'm new to YWS, obviously, and I'm hoping to get to know some other writers who are just as crazy as I am. I'm working on a novel at the moment, a science fiction novel called Illumina.

Hi there Amy!

Welcome to YWS!

First of all, please read the rules and the FAQ before anything else. This'll help you a lot. You've already broken a rule. That rule is you have to make 2 reviews first before posting anything. Please, please do not do it again. WE are very strict about rules so please do not break them.

If you have any further concerns, feel free to PM me. I'd be glad to help anyhow.

See ya around!

It'll help ya out. ^^

And posting before reviewing two pieces of work is a no no.
(Sorry, fever's affecting my brain. Bleck.)

Oh yes. Please check out the Buddy System! It's on the welcome forum. I'm sure that you'll find it very helpful. ^^

What do you write? I write fantasy. (And recently, dramatic poetry. Oh my.)

Hiya Ryllie! If you were looking crazy people, you found them:) I'm pretty sure we're all certifiably insane;) And we're all addicts. YWS addicts, that is:D Welcome to the ranks.

I see they already mentioned the 2-reviews-before-posting-your-own-writing rule. We have another rule that's related. You need to do at least two reviews for each piece of your own you post.

So you're working on a novel! And science fiction one at that. Those are even more difficult... or, well, they can be. It depends. But good luck. I've tried writing novels, but I could never stick to it beyond a few chapters. Illumina's a pretty cool name for it, by the way. Is science fiction your favorite genre? What else do you like to write?

If you need help with anything, or if you want me to critique something, send me a PM.

Ok, first of all, my most copious apologies for the no posting before 2 reviews rule!! *bows for forgiveness* I scurried off right after I read this and made two reviews. And I shall be making more because I do want to post my own stuff. Thanks for letting me know about the rule, though, I went and read the FAQ/Rules.

Science fiction is definitely my favorite genre, along with thrillers (but the two can coincide). And because of my obsession with thriller novels, Dan Brown is practically my idol.
I'm about 3 or so chapters into Illumina, but I'm mostly working on character profiles and whatnot (and other things like maps and plot info and other random oddities) at the moment.

Other than Scifi/thrillers, I write random poetry as well (I'm not going to put it in a genre because all my poems are different). But my book is my main forte. I'm also working on a murder mystery that takes place in a theater, called Behind the Curtain.

Okays, I'm finally done rambling!

Randomly yours,
Ryllie
