As you can tell, I'm new. But from what I've seen, I think I'll like it here.

I'm not new at forums; I've been going to the forum on [url]newgrounds.com[/url] for about 2 years now, and that's also where I've post some stories under the same username. (I wouldn't read them; most aren't that good/not very appropriate for young people :oops:).

I've been writing since the 6th grade, when, after reading Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 I knew what my purpose in life was. I have been told I was a good writer in 1st grade, where my stories were above and beyond what kids did at that age, or so I've been told.

I love Science Fiction, Fantasy, and a little Fiction (Grapes of Wrath, 19 Minutes, etc.), and I write mostly in that genre. I'm full of ideas, but slow to write them.

I've gotten some criticism from the Newgrounds community, but unless you're a very popular user, you tend to get overlooked (as by the amount of reviews on my stories over there, if you read them), and overall, it's not a good place for good reviews.

For those who like horror/fantasy/sci-fi, and want a site to submit/review works, try http://critters.org/; I quite because of the amount of reviews you need to do, and I didn't have too much I wanted to submit. But it's very good, and has gotten a massive overhaul since I last took a peak.

What I really want to get out of this forum is to make me less verbose (as this post shows), and honing my descriptive writing, like when I need a reader to feel disgusted or joy at something.

Hey there!

Welcome to YWS!

Before anything else, please read the rules and the FAQ. This will help you out a lot. We have a rule which indicates that you have to make 2 reviews first before you post anything. After doing this, try to maintain a 2:1 review-post ratio.

If you have any further concerns, feel free to PM me!

Enjoy and have an AWESOME time!

See ya around!

Hi, welcome to YWS. xD Fellow. I don't blame you for quitting the site--even though I have no idea how many reviews you said everyone had to do--and I'm glad you joined us here. Our only policy on reviews is, as Casey said, the 2:1 ratio and I think it has to be somewhere around 250 characters to count as a review (Nate said it averages out to three or four lines, basically, from what I remember the last time I found it).

Anyway, I'm sure you'll love it here and PM me if you ever need anything reviewed (or anything in general).

Hola!

Welcome to the site. Hopefully you will like it here. If you don't, you are a freak who doesn't belong here and you should leave immediately.

*hopes sarcasm is recognized*

Anyway, have a good time, PM me if you need anything or want a friend, etc.

Cheers.
