I love sci-fi.

And so modest, too! :P And I didn't encourage you! You found this place on your own. And then found out I'm here, too.

Read the rules, or I bite *Nods*

Also! Scifi wins. Need more scifi. Yes.

Anyhoo. Have fun, don't break anything, and you're already started asking me questions, so we're good on that front!

Hey Savingewoks! First off - AMAZING username! It's just adorable.

Second, you're going to love it here at YWS. It's such an amazing community for young writers - there's so much support and advice. I feel like I've grown so much during my time here, merely from receiving reviews and writing them (analyzing other people's works helps you improve your own! Serious!).

The community forums are fun, the chat room is occasionally open - and there are many people to PM if you have questions! I'm an instructor, and so always here to review. :wink:

Anyway, what about YOU? What kind of stuff do you write? Poetry, fiction? What's your favorite genre?

Enjoy your time here!

~ Clo
How am I not myself?

Thanks for the username comment.
I try to use only a couple around the internet, and that is one of them. Those damn Imperials and their Ewok Xenocide!

anyhoo...


I'm a prose kinda guy.
Now don't get me wrong, I have been known to write poetry too, but that's usually when I'm bored in class.
I write Science-Fiction, mostly.
I've written a few "plain fiction" also. Like, when I was in high school, I had this epic project that I never managed to finish, but it was a collection of shorts stories about kids in high school. You know, all the stereotypes, all the "major players" for each stereotype. It went into how they really felt - the cheerleader who was doubted herself, the cocky goth kid, the emo girl who got beat when she went home. It was pretty cool. But it kinda ran out of steam...the whole "ideas are a dime a dozen" thing. Have you ever thought about that saying? that means that it's just under $0.01 per idea. hmph. So yeah. I mostly write sci-fi. My novel is about an orphan who travels across the galaxy, kills a bunch of aliens, meets a planetary dictator, then fights a dragon. I'm trying to fit vampires in there, but that may work into a different story.

I also have a few projects inspired by my Early Brit Lit class - i turned a set of 17th century love sonnets into an action science fiction story.

so yeah.
I'm all across the board.

anyways.
Writing and science-fiction are the two things that I'm the most passionate about.
so that's my life, in a nutshell.

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

I think the best thing about making it into the quote generator is when nobody tells you, so one day you're just scrolling and voila, some phenomenally inane thing that crawled out of your dying synapses and immediately regretted being born the second it made contact with the air has been archived for all time. Or worse, a remark of only average inanity. Never tell me when you've put me in the generator. Pride-tinged regret just doesn't taste the same without the spice of surprise.
