Young Writers Society

Hey everyone! My name is Spirrus, I'm 16 and from Nigeria. After wandering the halls of the internet, searching for a writer's society that suited me, I came across this site after deciding that 4chan /b/ might not be the best place to start.

I'll be looking forward to being part of this charming little community and hopefully even contribute to it, if someone could show a n00b like me the dos and donts of this forum then I'd appreciate that too

Hi there!

Welcome to YWS!

Well, you've mentioned that you want to know the do's and don'ts in the site. You can find it here in the Rules, and I also suggest that you read the FAQ since you're a newbie.

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

So, you didn't mention some things about yourself. What do you like to write? read?

Anyway, enjoy and have an AWESOME time!

See ya around!

What I like reading...hmm, never thought of it when posting this topic.


Well, generally I like fantasy alot, books like Lord of the Rings and Northern Lights are a few of my favorites. I'm also into horror, especially novels that relate to the whole zombie outbreak idea, like Monster Island, Nation and Planet and World War Z. I like sci-fi too, but not so much as fantasy. And before you ask, no, I'm not into romance novels, I cringe when reading a book about how the effeminate, purple pirate supposedly sheathes his sword in the woman's scabbard if you catch my drift

Hey there Spirrus, welcome to YWS!

My name's Heather and it's lovely to meet you. If you've got further questions after checking out the rules and what not then feel free to pm me and I'll be happy to help you settle in.

And a Northern Lights fan, eh? Well you're sure to fit in, I love Pullman's books =) And Lord of the Rings is good too, who's your favourite character in that? Mine's Aragon, no competition.

Also, if you want a critique at some point, just go ahead and ask. Enjoy the site!
