Young Writers Society

This place looks wonderful. : D
So~ can someone give the the 'insider's 411'? x3

Hiya and welcome!

So, at YWS we have some rules. Don't worry, only three main ones.

1- Review two works before posting any of your own. That way, reviews get spread around more, and people are totally willing to return the favour. A "review" must be at least three lines long, and it's asked you always keep that 2:1 ratio.

2- No chat-speak. That means proper grammar, spelling and caps. Abbreviations like lol, brb, POV, MC and other term abbreviations are fine, as are emotocons. Just don't overdo it.

3- Rated works= happy YWSers. If you rate your work (and your work is not rated R) it'll show up on the front page of YWS. You might even get more comments. ^_^ Rated R works have the f-word and/or graphic scenes.

That's the major 411 on everything. I'm sure more people will come along to help soon.

What genre(s) do you write?

If you have any questions, PM me.

Ah, thanks! <3

I write sci-fi or fantasy most of the time, although I've been dabbling in horror as of late. :3

Hello! Welcome! So, I guess I'll tell you some of the jobs here on YWS. You know what job someone has by the color of their user name.

Purple: Instructors, they give the best critiques. Feel free to ask them for one.

Light Blue: Greeters, they welcome new members and answer and questions they might have.

Light Green: Junior Moderators, they can moderate some forums.

Dark Green: Moderators, they can moderate all forums.

Red: Site Administrators, they make sure the site runs smoothly.

Orange: Distinguished Members, retired mods.

After a month on YWS you can apply to be an instructor or greeter.

Hope you have lots of fun on YWS! Feel free to ask me any questions.

Fantasy is where I usually hang out. ^_^ Even my realistic stories have some magic in them. And I'm not alone. A good chunk of the site is into fantasy. I don't know that much about sci-fi (I don't write it, nor do I read it), but I'm pretty sure there are people who enjoy a good sci-fi around here.

@Colleen~ Thanks!

@Rosy~ I see, that's great!

So, how does the point system work? ^_^;;

Basically, if you post you get points. For some things, you get more ponts then others. If you submit some of your writing it costs you points. I'm not sure completely how it works, but that's how I think it works.

Oh, thanks!
: D

*is determined*

Haha, just the other day I got my custom title. I was so excited, it's amazing how some people can get so many points so fast. It took me almost two months. Hopefully you get one soon too!

Thanks. n_n

Hey Sura! Great to meet you here on YWS. I see that you like Fantasy and Sci-fi. So, what type do you write? Urban? Dark? I mostly write time-travel stuff if I'm going into Sci-fi and fantasy, and I'm kind of obsessed with questions like What if he died when he was a baby, what if he was a girl instead, etcetera.

You have a nice avatar as well. It's so colorful and 'whooshy'. Sorry, I like to make up words for this kind of stuff. Where'd you get it?

So, good to meet you, Sura. Hope to see you around soon. Have a great stay in YWS. Feel free to PM me for anything you like. See ya!

xD I tend to gravitate more towards the spectrum of fantastical and whimsy. That's cool though. : D

Aww, thanks! Do you mean the koi or the flower? I change it often. ^w^ I found the koi on a photobucket search and the flower is an icon from Gaiaonline.

Thanks, I will. : D

Wow you um like quoting people. Anyway Hiya I'm Windy this place is startacular. ( spectacular. I'm from a different planet and we've kind messed up your way of complimenting people or vise-versa) Welcome to a place were writers run free and write stuff that in all the realms of possibility don't make sense ( or at least I do). Anyway how you know all the stuff that really matters so I guess I'm here to say hi! Um um um, Bye!
