Hello everyone,

I'm new, as you can tell from the subject. If I happened to click on the wrong button then please forgive me. I'm not quite used to forums, so if I messed up and clicked the wrong response button, then I'll try not to make the same mistake again. I'm not very good at grammar, but I do believe that with help I can improve greatly. Thanks for letting me join! :D

Cordially,

Sirril (this is the name of the main character from my first book)

Hiya and welcome!

Just to let you know about the three main rules on YWS:

1- Review two works before posting any of your own. That way, reviews get spread around a bit more. Also, people are very willing to return the favour. Wink It's asked you always keep that 2:1 ratio.

2- Minimize chat-speak. That means using proper grammar, spelling and caps. Some abbreviations are okay, like lol, brb, ect. Just don't overdo it please.

3- Keep swearing in stories you post, and if you do have swearing rate things accordingly. PG-13 is for some swearing, G is no swearing and if you use the f-word and/or have graphic scenes, rate things R. Anything other then R-rated works show up on the front page of YWS.

Sirril is a very cool name. Where did you come up with it?

If you have any questions, PM me.

Me! I'll lend a hand!

First off, read the rules in the post above yours. That will make sure you stay away from any slip-ups. And keep some members from sending the hounds on you. ;) Just kidding.....

Second, start by pressing buttons in the header. Writing takes you to the Literature forums, Groups takes you to a long list of usergroups you can join, ect.

Third, check out the Help and Support button, also in the header. You'll get a bunch of nice tips there.

Fourth, if you want more help, feel free to PM me by pressing the little "PM me" button at the bottom of my post. I'd be happy to help. ^_^

Hi Rosey Unicorn! :)

I was just wondering around on YWS and I saw this forum. Anyways, I've got a question to ask: how could I become a greeter again? I forgot the last time you told me:D

I remember something about applying, and that being on the front page? But I don't know where it is. Help please :P

ThienThienThien,

Woot Woot! I'm Paraskavedekatriaphobic! LOL XD Are You?

That should be in the Questions thread, but whatever.

To become a Greeter, go here. Note- Do Not Apply If You Have Been On YWS For Under One Month. You can not hold any staf position unless you have been here for over one month.

Hey Nyle! Nice to meet you! Welcome to YWS! What do you write? What's your favourite genre? I'd tell you about all the rules but there is an urgent need for me to get off. So...I leave that to someone else ^_^

hello peanut and kick. Welcome to our little slice of heaven YWS. Its a lot of fun here. And there are a lot of good reads. And when your not writing and reviewing we have tons of other things to do. There are dozens of groups here for different interests. And if there isn't one for you, you can make your own if enough people like it. Well this is Ryan and I'm signing off.

Hello, Nyle, Jaye and Peanut! I'm Lily. Welcome to the site!

Most importantly, the rules must be read! The basic two are listed above by Rosey: The 2:1 ratio and the non-chatspeak rule. Scroll up and take a peek.

Then of course, you can create your own thread to fully introduce yourself on this forum. Our Greeters will try to make you feel as welcome as possible. (If you don't know which are Greeters, click Young Writers Society Forum Index and scroll all the way down to the footer.) They will answer your every question!

PM me for anything else. See you around!

Cheers,
Lily.

I started this website through script frenzy; I was a bit skeptical at first but after poking around I find myself exited about being part of a community.
I'm an antisocial; I hate myspace and magazines. My friends call me pretentious but that's because they're jelous. (I also hate smilies O.o) My dog, my copy of Fahernheit and my mutilated notebook make up my life. I am more or less permanently grounded for not being born with a meek personality and a mathematicians calculating mind.
I am addicted to run-on sentences, zero punctuation and terrible spelling.
I get a high after drinking bottles and bottles of water without stopping.
I am called an old lady by my friends because I love, love, love afternoon naps. I should have been born in the fifties.








I have my books and my poetry to protect me.
