Hmm, never read those books. Even though my friends say I should read His Dark Materials.
My favourites are: Tamora Pierce, Eragon, most historical fiction and right now I love The Swan Kingdom by Zoe Merrott.
And a note- I'd prefer it if you called me Rosey, Rose or Unicorn instead of RU. Even though without chat-speak it's not confusing, it's not my favourite nickname.

Well I would love to see some of your work! If you've posted anything, I would love to review it!
Welcome!

You write sci-fi? Awesome. I've never attempted it but some of the sci-fi stories I read on here a while ago were awesome; just PM me and I'll gladly review it for you.
What do you do in your spare time, other than write? Play sports? Volunteer? Something else? Do you have any pets or siblings?
Did you know about the usergroups? They're little club-like things that have their own forum. I'm sure you'll find one that suites your hobbies, if you decide to join one (I'm part of over fifty, last time I checked ); we have ones that have everything from cartoons to a novelist group.
The best way to meet people? Reviewing is a great way and so is joining Chat when it's opened by a mod or admin or signing random guestbooks.
The breakdown of the wierd colors:
The green people are the senior and junior mods. Senior mods control and look over all of the forums while junior mods can only look over specific areas. Senior mods are dark green and junior mods are light green. You can see what mods are in what group by looking at the forums and clicking on the green groups next to Moderatered By...
Greeters are the blue people. They help new members learn their way around the site and participate in the Welcome forum frequently.
Instructors are the purple people. They post writing tips, have the best reviews, may offer online classes, and may even help people improve their reviews.
The red people are the administrators. There are few of them and they can do anything on the site: lock/delete threads, etc.
Distingushed Members are the orange people that were previously part of the mod team but stepped down for whatever reason.
This (http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/viewarticlebody.php?t=36288) may help you futher with some of your basic questions.
A little tip:
For the codes, be sure to press the button twice; before and after the word (or words) you want to bold/italize/underline/whatever. As long as it looks like this (random example) [e]word[/e], you're good. Make sure that there's this / thing at the part I showed you, otherwise it won't work.
I hope to see you around and welcome to the family!
