Hello and welcome to YWS!

Two rules you should know:

1- Review two works before posting any of your own. It helps make sure everybody gets a review, plus people are more willing to look at your stuff if you've looked at theirs. :wink: It's asked you always keep that 2 review: 1 post ratio.
2- Minimize chat-speak. That means proper grammar, spelling and caps. Some abbreviations and all alliteration is okay, just don't overdo it.

Tell us a little more about yourself! What genres do you write in? Any favourite books? Authors?

Heh, yeah. I think most of us have a hard time finding people willing to read our stuff in real life. That, or we don't want people we know tearing our work to shreds.

If you need anything, feel free to PM me.

*Alyssa~

First off, I love your name. Even though I see it everywhere, I just like it. Anyway...

Hello, welcome to the places of crazy writers. (okay, maybe some of us are not that crazy) I hope you have a fantastic time here!!

That's weird because my family supports my writing, but one sister finds it okay and the other doesn't really care. My mom apparently loves everything I write, but you know she's acting like a caring mother. My dad, well I prefer him not to read my work. He probabaly wouldn't understand it.

So what do you like to write? Anything from here to there? I love writing historical fiction work, it's just my thing. I can't do poetry or science fiction and fantasy. And I'm amazed at those who do write those type of novels.

For me, I'm trying to branch out on what I read and write. I'm currently getting into the classics. I'm reading Dumas's The Man in the Iron Mask and Watson's Miss Pettigrew lives for a day, at the moment. Then after that, I'm seeing the movies.

I'm not huge for YA works. They don't really catch my interests that much. But enough about me, what are your interests? Favorites? What do you do for fun? Any favorite movies/tv shows?

Let's see, I go to as many rock concerts for fun. I just saw and absolutely love House Bunny and my sisters and I are just watching the try outs for American Idol. Otherwise, I watch Fringe.

*looks up* Geesh. I did write a lot. Well, if you ever wanna chat, feel free to do the pm. See you around!

PIGGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D:D:D:D::D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Um... yeah. I totally like pigs. Sorry if that creeped you out. XD But there is definitely a reason why my name is snOINK! :D So you'll be known as Piggy to me. <3

Well, you definitely came to the right place! We have lots and lots of writers that really have no where else to go to post their writings, so they come here. And, the best part? :) Staying at this site will actually help you improve with your writing! It's been scientifically proven, yup, yup! :lol: Of course, that also means that we have a tendency to expect perfection from stories and poems. That is, almost all the posts you will see here will probably be grammatically correct. Chatspeak is not allowed (well, an occasional lol is allowed, lol) and if you don't capitalize your i's, people will start tweaking out (trust me, it's really amusing!). We're grammar-crazy like that. :) And then, not only do we nitpick on grammar, but we also provide very detailed critiques on stories and poems which delve into philosophy and history and a whole host of other things. It's fairly amazing! Of course, it can also be remarkably frustrating at times, but oh well! It'll help you out in the long run. :)

Plus, you'll be with a bunch of people who love writing and agonize over the perfect word. Trust me, it's fun. ^^

So! What sorts of writing do you do? I tend to be more in the science fiction and fantasy areas, but I tend to critique mostly poetry and quirky stories in the Other Fiction board. It's weird. Also! I see we have another Dale Carnegie lover. That is awesome. What other books do you like to read? :D

And, just because I'm hungry and yearning for Chinese food, when you go out to a Chinese restaurant, what do you tend to order? <3

Anyway, I'm Snoink and I'm a moderator of YWS. See? My name is in green. :) All moderators' names are in green so that you can spot us easier and bug us whenever you need to be bugged. Oh, and you can bug the adminstrators (in Red) as well, but there are more moderators than administrators, so you'll probably see more of us around. This means that, if somebody's bugging you, you can come to me and I'll sort through the problem. And this goes for onsite and offsite problems. Lord knows, I've been asked a couple of dating questions before! xD Or, say, you get lost on the site, then I can always help you. And, if you post a story in the wrong board (that's very common, actually!) one of the moderators will move it for you so it's in the proper place. Basically? We're the ones that make YWS fun for you. :)

We also have a couple of other symbolic colors. There are the greeters (in blue) and you'll see a lot of them flock to your post, just because they love greeting people. It's funny! So be sure to PM them and bug them for fun. They live for that sort of stuff. And then we have the purple guys... instructors. They're in purple. They're really nice and they basically critique stories and poems and whatever, but they do it in a really awesome way so that you know how to improve and, with their advice, you can improve. It's quite fantastic! And then, we have you. Eek! Did I mention that I love your avvie? I love roses. <3

Anyway, hope you enjoy YWS. If you have any questions, feel free to bug me. And I also critique stories and poems, so if you need any help as far as that goes, I'll do my best!

Have fun exploring! :D

hi everybody!

nice to meet everyone. my favorite genre is really Fantisy, I think. my most favorite author ever is Nora Roberts. she writes about witches and magic and all of that stuff. I don't really do Magicka and i'm not pagan or anything but sometimes i wish I was. of course J.K. rowling is amazing. i also love romances, i'm kind of a sap like that. and i like ghost stories sometimes but definetly no horror. that kind of stuff is just stupid.

I've noticed my grammars like not that great, so i'm hoping to get better with that here. :oops:

Let's see, other interests: i'd love to travel the world someday, like go to europe or africa maybe, definetly the carribean! (hawaii sounds amazing!)

umm....I hope someday to be a world-class author... and i also paint modern art...kind of a tropical thing, i'm into colors.

anyways, great to meet everyone!

Hello, hello! I'm sure you'll come to find that YWS is so much fun and so welcoming, just as I have. If you don't like for people to read your work, this is honestly the best place you could do it, there's a small group of people who are very helpful, and you don't have to watch them reading it in person, which always pains me. I post plenty of things on here that never end up becoming something great, but it's good to just throw something you're playing with to get some feedback and encouragement. If you have any questions, ask me, I'm here!

oh, Another Nora Roberts fans? What ia your favorite book or trilogy by her?

I like the Circle trilogy. It's my favorite. I love the last book, Valley of Silence.

I am a fantasy writer too!

We are going to be in touch real soon. I can feel it. Okay, I guess I will leave you alone now.

Don't mind her, she's insane. :wink:
We're all a little mad here (sounds familar), so.. yea.

Welcome, Alyssa! I've heard loads of Alyssa's already, so I'll call you Lys, kay? I'm Lily, hi.

I'm not a Greeter, either, and have never applied, but I greet people all the same. A pet hobby of mine. *coughpointscough*

I trust you've read the rules? Two of the main ones are the ones Rosey stated - they are, pretty much, the most basic ones. Follow 'em, you'll never go wrong.

So, fantasy, huh? I'm not a big fan of it, but I read anything prose. Call on me if you need a review!

PM me if you need anything, I'll be right there!

Cheers,
Lily.
