Young Writers Society

Hey, I'm RebellionLies if you haven't looked to the left yet. I've managed to submit a work without reading the rules and knowing to review two things before I submit myself, so I guess that puts be in some sort of point debt, although I still don't know how the point system works or what it's used for still . Any-who, you can go on over to the SciFi area to read the mammoth sized post I've already burdened the world with if you like, or just grant me a "tl;dr".

I hope to get to know you guys soon.

Hey, RebellionLies!

(Could that be a nod to Arcade Fire...?!)

Yeah, the points system is kind of arbitrary--you earn points for critiquing, and lose them for posting your work, and at the end of a week/two week period they reset themselves for 500. It's mainly to make finding a Member of the Week easier.

I normally don't foray into Science Fiction, but I guess I might have to for an NMH fan. ^_~ I'm Sam and I'm on the mod squad, so if you ever need help with anything, send a PM my way!

Sam, I think they reset to 300. Well, when you make a post, you automatically get 10 points from that. You get an extra 0.2 points for every character in the post, for a maximum of fifty (50) at any given time. Well, I'm Vyper or whatever you want to call me! And it's great that you read the rules. I'm sure you'll fit in just fine with everyone here.

Well, time for [s]interroga[/s] questions! You didn't hear anything just now, just ignore it. Or else. Just kidding. Well, what do you like to write, besides science fiction? What about read? Who are your favorite authors? What are your other hobbies? What about movies and music? Things like that.

I gotta go now, since I'm procrastinating. Feel free to PM me for whatever you need, nd see ya around the sci-fi section soon!

Welcome to YWS!

As long as you now know the rules, and SWEAR to follow them, nothing bad will happen. ;] Honestly though, it's fine. Just try to post a few reviews before you submit another piece of your own. It's the way things work around here.

Anyway, I'm . .. . no name. People usually refer to me as dd9. I'm open to any nicknames, as long as they don't include profanity! Oh, and I should tell you: try not to swear here. People really respect a kind and honest user.

YWS is really like a disfunctional family. We live all over the world, but we still get together through writing and reviewing. I'm sure that you'll soon discover that for yourself (if you already havent'.)

What genre of writing do you like? And what is this piece you submitted about? It sounds interesting: I'll be sure to give it a look.

PM me with any questions. I'm always willing to help.

Hey

Welcome to YWS.

Since you know the rules and stuff, i won't tell you those.

so tell us about yourself. like you favorites.

and I guess you write sci-fi, do you wrie any other genre?

If you need anything, feel free to pm me.

See ya around.

Eek! Arcade Fire, anyone?

Mammoth-sized post? Oh dear... has it taken over the world? XD

Some people split up their really large posts, just because they get more critiques on it. But, hey! You never know.

Anyway, welcome to YWS! I'm also part of the mod squad too, so if you need help, you can bug me too.

Hey, sorry it took a couple of days to get back to you guys, just had a few things going on. Thanks for the warm welcome and explaining how points work a little better, I wasn't aware were reset every week.

And to answer a few questions:
-Yes, my post has in fact taken over the known world, you might want to flee to one that it doesn't know about.
-Yes, my name is in homage to Arcade Fire, if you spoke to me in person for 3.5 seconds you'll find out just how much I love indie music.
-I'm writing my sci-fi novel at the moment (which is turning out to be a little more of a romance, but that's okay). I also write flash fictions of varying genres. I'll post those later so I won't be flooding the forums with my work.
-My only avid hobby is rock climbing, there's a gym not to far from my house I go to to climb.
-I've been reading a lot of sci-fi/dramas lately such as Ender's Game and Spin. I also enjoy fantasy and mystery thrillers. (I haven't been able to find a good mystery/thriller lately if anyone wants to reccomend one). I also read the classic dramas like Of Mice and Men and The Great Gatsby.
-It's hard for me to name a favorite author since the quality of books from the same author (from what I've read) varies to much. e.g. I loved Ender's Game to death but I really didn't care for Speaker for the Dead.
-The only video games I really play are RPGs, and yes, I can say I've beaten a Final Fantasy game.
-As for movies and tv, I pretty much only watch Scrubs on tv and I'll watch pretty much any movie aside from chick flicks.

I think that pretty much covers it for now, feel free to ask anything else!

Yours Falsely,
RebellionLies
