Young Writers Society

Hi... I'm Dally(Real name Danny) and I'm 16 well 16 if you ask my dad and 17 if you ask my mum... I'm from England, but don't hold that against me. I have no Idea why I like writing, but I really love it! The whole Idea that you have made something that has a background and characters that you can get to know through out it, is really cool. And the funny thing is I'm not brilliant at English (so please excuse any dodgy spellings) But everyone at my school and that includes teachers, that I write really good ones... I think I've won every compatition my school has every had for fiction writing. But, then again it it a whole Boys school so I'm the only one that ever enters!

So, please PM me or prod me or something, cause I really wanna make some new friends!

Hey

Welcome to YWS

Anyways, before I go on, let me tell you that there are two strict rules you must follow:

Number one: The 2:1 YWS ratio. Yes, you cannot escape math here. You must always always always review two works of someone else's before posting one of your own.

Number two: Minimize chat-speak. Yes, you still may use "lol" upon occasion, but say "you" instead of "u" and "the" instead of "da." We try to pride ourselves on using good grammar like every writer does.

So what genre do you write and what are your favorite authors and books?

Pm me if you need anything.

See ya around.

Hey Dally/Danny! :]

Welcome to YWS. You will definitely make tons of friends here. This is community of writers that fosters everyone's talents through the giving and getting of advice. In short: It's pretty amazing. No where else online have I encountered such an welcoming group of writers. I'm sure you'll feel right at home.

That's cool about the all boys school. I myself go to an all girls school. Mabe we can swap school stories sometime. I swear, some of the craziest things happen at single-sex schools.

Even though Night Mistress explained the basics to you, there's one more rule here at YWS that everyone needs to follow: When giving a review, be positive. People will repsect you a lot around here if you go out of your way to be kind and helpful.

If you ever have any questions, PM me. I'm always willing to help a fellow writer in need.

Hi Dally! Or if you prefer it, hi Danny! Welcome to the big, dysfunctional family that is YWS! Of course, if you ask some people, this is a loony bin. Well, don't really care so, yeah. Everyone's already asked you the major questions so I won't repeat them.

So, what are your other interests? Here on YWS, we have a bunch of usergroups that are made for a specific community. For example, we have one for Twilight, debating, etcetera. So, click on the big 'Groups' button above if you want to know more. Go ahead and look for one that interests you. It really helps.

Feel free to PM me for anything you need, be it reviews, questions, or friendship. See ya around someday!

Nice to meet you Dally (your name reminds me of the Outsiders, if you ever read it). Yes, as others have aready explained, please do go over the rules.

So, go ahead and tell us about yourself. What genres do you write? What are your favorite books/authors? What music do you listen to? etc.

It's nice to see you here, we all look forward to reading your material and proceeding to tear it apart! Just kidding...mostly.

Yours Truely,

Hello Dally. Welcome to YWS! I am Winter.

I have no Idea why I like writing, but I really love it!

You will fit in well, then. We all love writing here, whether it is fiction or poetry or scripts. What do you like to write? Fantasy? Nonfiction? Lyrics? I like historical fiction.

I look forward to reading some of your work. If you have any question, please feel free to send me a PM!

Now why would I hold you being a Brit against you? We've got quite the Brit crew here anyway; you'll be just fine.

So the rules are covered, eh? Please pay attention to those, though.

Yeah, so get out there and review! Get to know everybody, make yourself known, have a good time, learn your way around (with any help from me you need, feel free), start a blog if you want... and you know, if you want a review for something, give me a shout.

There's a million things to check out around here, so you'd better get busy.

Welcome aboard mate.

Heyy Danny!
Welcome to YWS!!!
Before you post some of you ah-mazinggg workk let's get down to the rules.
Can't escape that can ya?

1. The 2:1 ratio. Yep, before you post ANY of you work, you MUST MUST MUST review unleast 2 other people's work. And no, "I liked it." doesn't count.
If you can't find any mistakes unleast tell them some thoughts that went through your mind while reading the piece, or how they can improve.
2. Keep chat and caps minimum. We are writer's aren't we.
Besdies it can get annoying sometimes like this:
PlZ dOn'tT B wRtNg In ChTt FoRM

or this:

DON'T WRITE IN CHAT!!!!!!

It seems like i'm yelling at you, even though I'm not.

So remember these two simple rules, unless you want us coming after you with pitchforks!
Hehe just kidding.
Don't freak out if you did say "lol" or "rofl", minimum is okay, just don't use it in every post. Mkay?
Now if you have any more questions feel free to PM me!
