Young Writers Society

Copied from WriYe...cause I'm feeling lazy now XD

I'm Bronwyn. I'm a junior in high school and I've been writing since I was about 10 or 12. I really like to write (obviously) and I enjoy writing the most historical/literary/dystopian fiction novels (I like reading those too ). I love music as much as I love writing (favorite bands include R.E.M., Rilo Kiley, The Submarines, The New Pornographers and Tegan & Sara), so I like to combine the two as much as possible (like making music playlists for my MCs).

I also like screenwriting as well as novel-writing - I wrote a really rough screenplay this summer that was basically a modern adaptation of Dante's Divine Comedy. Twas great fun

My goal in life is to be published or have a screenplay of mine made into an amazing movie. And travel all over the world.

This forum looks really awesome...can't wait to meet more of y'all

Hi perfectisafault! I'm Conrad Rice, one of the Instructors here at YWS. I hope that you will find a place here in our wonderful community. We always have room for more people here. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a PM and I will be more than happy to help you out.

I like dystopian fiction novels and R.E.M. as well! What a coincidink!

Hey, i'm a newbie aswell by the way, joined yesterday.

So to annoy the greeters rules:

1. You must do 2 reviews before you post anything of your own, and keep a 2:1 ratio.
2. Chatspeak is like spitting on a tomb here, so only use brb and lol occasionally, any others are banned.

Welcome.

Scarecrow

darn, scarecrow. you beat me.

hey, welcome to the family.

so, you like to write historical fiction? you like Merry_Haven then. I am a romance writer, trying to break into the fantasy world.

well, if you need anything, feel free to pm me.

damn, scarecrow. you beat me.

*coughsdarncoughs*

Hello and welcome!

Here you will find all of the weirdos you can handle, but they are fun weirdos at least. Sometime I hear they are even helpful, though that may just be rumor.


Anywhoo if you need anything send a PM my way, and I'll do my best to help you out.

Don't forget to check out the chat room either! We'd love to get to know you better in there ^.^

It's not that bad! You will find some abbreviations used on the boards. Mostly it's asked you don't use stuff like "kk" "u" "r" and so on. Turn them to their proper words.

I enjoy historical fiction, even though I don't really critique in that forum. Too many war stories. >.<

If you need anything, feel free to PM me.

Welcome to YWS!!

See, I told you that you would get lots of replies! This really is a great site, filled with great people.

Reviewing other people's work isn't that bad; this site is filled with lots of good information on how to review, although it's as simple as giving out your opinion.

Anyway, have fun as you poke your way around the site and feel free to PM me if you have any questions or such!

Good luck with your writing!

Don't worry, I don't write war stories It's most like historical romance with more modern history (circa the 1950s/1960s)

@ everyone: thanks for the welcomes. You guys seem like a cool bunch ^__^

we're not only a cool bunch, we are a wacky bunch.

Wacky eh? That's a bit of an understatement...

hey perfectisafault! I'm Gahks, pleased to meet you! *handshake*

You write screenplays? I'd love to write some too, but I just haven't the time right now. I love writing poetry, though, that's really cool.

Remember, you have to review at least two pieces of writing before you can submit your own. I'm sure it's great!

Any questions, just PM me.

See you around!

Hey, welcome to YWS.
It's a blast here, really.

Hey perfect and welcome to our big (very big) dysfunctional family! Have a great stay here. So, if you write historical romance, do you put it in Historical fiction or Romance? I'll have to look around for them.

Wow, you sure are popular.

Ello, Bronwyn. I'm Lily. Welcome to the home of the wackiest, looniest, and doubtlessly best-looking young writers you'll meet anywhere! Nice way to start off a new year, eh?

Scarecrow, you stole me lines! He's right, as any other YWS member will tell you. And no doubt you'll meet everyone on YWS by the time the month is out. We're all very friendly, so don't have any qualms about PMing one of us if you have a problem or question. We won't bite.

Hope you have fun.

Cheers,
Lily.
