Hey everyone, I'm Ethan.

I'm really not sure what this site is all about yet, and I'm a bit disoriented - but it looks like a neat forum.

A bit about myself - my favourite TV Shows are Buffy, X-Files, Angel and Battlestar Galactica. I like reading and writing, and I'm in my final year of High School. I don't know what else to say, but yeah, that's just the basics.

Thanks again.

We're a writing site! (ok, duh). But the basic idea is that we're a community of writers who like to help each other with their work! Thus our 2:1 ratio rule, two critiques to every piece posted. But that's only part of the site, though our main purpose! We have all sorts of groups to help with almost any aspect of writing, too! You name it, odds are we have it, or something close to it!

And we're all a little nuts. I mean, our webmaster/mascot is a chimp/Bartemius (see very bottom of every page! teehee).

Anyhoo! What's your favorite genre to read? Write?

Enough from me for now! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me! Here or PM, either works (though I pay more attention to PMs. Usually).

Welcome to the insanity!

Welcome Ethan!

I think Mesh pretty much covered the 2:1 thing, so I won't go into that (just make sure you stick to it)

I live in Australia too, in Melbourne. Where do you live?

What types of things do you like to read and write? What else do you like doing?

PM me if you need any help,

chocoholic.
*Don't expect to see me around much in the next couple of weeks. School has started again, and it'll be a couple of weeks before I've settled in. If you've asked me for a critique, you will get it, but not for a little while. Sorry*

Hello Ethan! Welcome to YWS!
Yes the site may seem confusing at first, but browse around the help and support section and I'm sure it'll help you loads.

However, I'm here if you need help. Don't hesitate to PM me.

See you around!

Hi Ethan. Welcome to YWS! If you get confused on this site, don't worry because practically nobody's sane around here. If you need any help, you can PM me. See you around!

Hey Ethan!

This site is amazing for young writers. I feel like I've grown a lot since I've come here - you receive such amazing feedback, both positive and negative! I hope you have a good experience here.

Can't wait to read your writing either.

Love!

Hey, welcome to YWS, Ethan! :D
If you haven't already I would check out the Rules because that will give lots of helpful information about the site. The Community boards are for topics about the site and general writing things but not for submission of your work. That's what the writing boards are for. Here you can read and critique others work and submit your own. If you haven't already I would recommend joining a group. It's a really good way to get to know people on the site with similar interests as you.
Hope I cleared some things up for you and if you have any questions or need anything at all feel free to PM me :D

Hey,

Welcome to the family.

First of all the main rule here is to post 2 reviews before you post 1 of your work and to maintain that ration.

and for the other rules, you can look them up under the Help and Suppot Wiki at the Top on the right corner.

so, tell us about yourself. what type of book do you like? What genre do you like? etc.

Me, I like Romance and I write romance fiction.

well, see ya around. if you need something, give me a holla!
