Hey, Roo.

Welcome to the YWS. I have two rules to talk to you with before we have a chat.

2) no chat speak is allow here. some abberation are okay but not all.

So you seem to be in college, that's cool. I am in college too, study Computer Science. I think it's neat that you studing History.

So what tyep of genre to you write? I mostly write romance fiction, but i am dapping into the fantasy genre. and What are your favorite books and who is your favorites author?

Well, i hope you see your work around and if you ever need anything, feel free to pm me.

Zomg, anthro is fun! Do you concentrate in any field of anthropology? I've been debating a double major in anthro, actually! Which will probably turn in to a minor, since I lack the dedication to do two subjects and still graduate in four years. (and I debated history for a while, until I met the history department at my school ^^ Thus, you are awesome)

And I hear you on fizzing out! I'll either hit about the 20k mark or so and then die, or something dies withint 2k. What about you? What genre do you write in? Heck, what do you read (other than stuff for class!).

Right, anyhoo! Hi, Roo! Welcome to the insanity that is YWS! I'm Mesh! And I think I'm abusing exclamation points! If you need any help, or want to talk, just drop me a line!

Hi Roo! Great to see you around here. I know what you mean by fizzle out. It's kind of frustrating (well, actually a lot frustrating). I usually get an idea and let it die somewhere between 5 000 and 10 000 words.

How do you like your life in university? I hear that it's very demanding. I'm always available for anything needed, so go ahead and ask. Aside from writing, do you have any other hobbies? I'm pretty sure there's a group for almost anything, so you can check under the 'Group' button up there.

See you around!

He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?
Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show!
And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.

Heylo, Roo, and welcome to our wacky site! I'm Lily. How d'ye do?

I know what you mean by fizzle out. I must've started 8 stories by now, all of which never made it past Chapter 5.

Anthropology? When I read that, it made me think of a Gary Larson cartoon where a man in a grass skirt and anklets is shouting, "Anthropologists!" and everyone is hiding TVs and VCRs. Sounds cool. The subject, I mean.

I see you're British. I have a friend from Northern Ireland too, but her dad moved here because of her mom. So, what other hobbies do you have, besides writing?

Hope you have fun. Don't hesitate to call on me if you need anything! ;)

Cheers,
Lily.

*Roo~

Hey! Welcome. Welcome. Welcome!! :D

So you study history, huh? What time period or era are you studying?

Oh my goodness! I have that same problem. Once I start something, that I'm all happy about, all my inspiration seems to be lost. It drives me crazy. :x But, when you're here, you seem to gain the inspiration back.

Well, it was nice to know a little about you. If you ever wanna chat, you a free to do so. See you around.

*Stabs Mesh*

Uh... hi there, I totally didn't just stab out junior admin XD Hello and welcome to the asylum, I'm sure you'll fit right in and yay for history lovers! I studied it at college level though I'm afraid I have since turned traitor and gone down the law route ^^

It's good to meet you =) If you're needing a review, have questions or would like to chat then send a pm my way. I don't bite, promise. And I rarely stab people.

But until then, enjoy finding your way around the site and I hope to see you around some place,
