Hello everyone!

Just wanted to stop in and say an official hi. I just joined tonight, as per Griffinkeeper's invitation and also perhaps lured in by the witty, laugh-out-loud stories written by the ever-clever Snoink.

This is the first time I've joined an online writer's society, but I'm anticipating a lot of good learning experiences ahead, plus good peer feedback and discussion. Thanks to all for having me over, and a special thanks to the two mentioned above for introducing me!

Hey Belle! No need to go over the rules, I guess, so I'll jump right into the [s]torture sessi[/s] questions! Who are your favorite authors and what are your favorite books? What do you like to write and in which genre? What are your goals for the future? What are your other hobbies? What about interests in movies or music? Your favorite color? Well, feel free to PM me for anything that you need. See ya around sometime!
There once was a cat.
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.

Following my classic format...

Hello, Belle! I'm Lily. Welcome to YWS!

*checks list and mumbles* Rules.. questions.. umm.. right! Good feedback is almost guaranteed - our site is filled with critics and editors, who also pen amazing stories. You should read some. It's fascinating how they describe things.. *coughanti-popcough* Some can really make you picture the most impossible things happening and make it interesting at the same time. I'm still learning. But I'm straying off-topic.. Where was I? Oh, yes. Ahem.
What genre of writing do you do? I hope it's romantic fiction or other fiction, which includes horror and anything not fantasy, historical, romantic, or based on another book. I suck at poem critting.. So don't even ask! But PM me if you want a prose review mainly about grammar and tenses. :wink:
What about your fave books? I think it's likely that, be it Lord of The Rings or Harry Potter or Twilight, chances are it has a group on it. They even have a group for vegetarians. You should check 'em out.

Well, if you need anything, just PM me! Or one of those people with blue names, who are in charge of showing you 'round the site.

Cheers,
Lily.
Got YWS?

*scoffs* What about mua?!
Ahaha, I'm just kidding.
I liked the quote you put there.

Anyhoodledoodle, Welcome to our eccentric YWS family!
I'm Meep, a Greeter/Bluey,
And as the title speaks for itself, I'm supposed to smother you newbies with hugs and kisses.
...I'm joking. I could hug you...but I dislike kissing of any sort...I think.

Since the rules have been explained to you,
I shall play the role of the paparazzi and interfere with your personal life:
What are your favourite genres to read an write about?
Any particular author/book/song/movie/band/colour/food/etc... that you like/dislike?

~Feel free to PM me if you want to chat or bug me with questions.
I also welcome incoherent babble.

See you around then! :D

Hrmm, what else?

Ah! When you do post your stuff, please rate it. ^_^ Rated works (unless rated R) show up on the front page of YWS. You might even get more comments out of it. :wink: Rated R works have the f-word and/or graphic scenes.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Hello Belle! Welcome to YWS. I am Winter.

Oh I love your avatar! Free Willy, I think? Good movie.

Anyway, I think everything has been covered. Tell us about yourself so we can recommend groups, lit forums, and books that suit your interests.

If you have any questions or need a review please feel free to PM me!

Just so you know, our Dad would make noodles with tuna, and we would call it "Free Willy" and eat it. I know! How horrible... and yet tasty.

Anyway, I suppose this means that I'll get to see your work more... mwhaha! And they think *I'm* prolific, can you believe it? They obviously haven't seen you yet. ;)

Welcome Belle! It seems like you are already part of the YWS community. :)

I'm dd9 (or whatever you'd like to call me), just popping in to say a quick "hiya"! I can see that you already have some friends here, but if you ever need another, give me a PM. :)

As you can see, YWS is like on big happy (most of the time) dysfuntional family. We live all over the work but are connected through our love of writing. I'm sure you'll feel at home here!

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

Welcome again!!

Hello! Welcome to YWS Belle! Free Willy is actually one of my favourite movies.
I too liked that quote. I think I'm going to like you.
And yes you definitely will have a great experience. Guaranteed! Or a 100% refund.

So what genre do you usually write?

I'm looking forward to reading your work and I guess we'll see each other around the forums.
If you have questions feel free to PM me. It would be a good idea to browse around the Help and Support section if you haven't already.

Have fun!

Hello, Belle!

Friend of the twins, are you? ;) That's great.

Anyway, welcome! I'm Demeter! Yay! How are you? And is there any chance your username comes from Beauty and the Beast? Or is it your real name?

Questions, questions.

Well well, enjoy the site as much you can, and see you around!

Haha, no it's not her real name! She's totally into Disney anything. And yes, she's a real princess. *nods*

I should kick her butt on here. She's really not used to the internet at all... just got it a couple of months ago. xD
