Hiya Slash! Welcome to amazingly addictive world of YWS!
We have a few rules here:
1.) Please use proper grammar, punctuation and capitalization while on YWS. Also, don't use chat-speak, like "dat wuz awsme" and don't use all CAPS like "THAT WAS SOOO AWESOME!!!".
2.) We have a 2:1 ratio here when it comes to reviewing. This means that you need to review two pieces of work on YWS before submitting your own work for reviews.
So tell me a bit more about yourself!
~What do you love to write?
~Do you have a favorite food or dessert?
~Who is your favorite author?
~Do you have a favorite book?
If you have a question, would like a review, or just want to talk, feel free to PM me.
Got YWS?
You judge others upon their actions, but you judge yourself by your intention.
Hi Slash! Welcome to YWS.
I'm Zehra. I can see you don't like to talk much. Do you now? Or are you just shy? '"Hi!" doesn't tell us a lot about you, unfortunately. This is your thread and we'd love to know more about you. So what kind of things are you into? Music? Writers? Books? Fiction or Non Fiction? Poetry or Prose?
You're a new member and the site may seem confusing at first. I highly recommend that you read the FAQs, guides, and rules. You'll find a FAQ for new members in the Welcome forum. it would also be a good idea to browse around the Help and Support section. If you still have questions or concerns, you can always PM me, and I'd be happy to help you.
Well, have fun reviewing and posting.
See you around!

So, another little rule is to please rate your work. Rated works, unless rated R, show up on the front page of YWS. You might even get more comments. ^_^ Rated R works have the f-word and/or adult content.
Also, you might want to check out the Knowledge Base. Just hover over Resources in the header and click the Knowledge Base option. You'll find tons of articles written by YWSers on almost every topic, from helping you navigate YWS to how to write in third person. A great place to look around if you have a couple of hours to kill!
Slash is an interesting username. Where did you come up with it?
If you have any questions, PM me.

Hi slash I'm Bolt, or boltage or any play on the word bolt really. Also Ryan, your Max (middle name)
So Slash I'm just going to explain a few things to do with posts and and reviews here.
As you might have seen under some peoples avatars there are stars, and in the colors of either yellow, red or blue. These stars are made to represent the reviews someone has, and here is how that works
For Blue Stars:
350 Reviews = 1 Blue Star, 4 Yellow Stars
450 Reviews = 2 Blue Stars, 3 Yellow Stars
550 Reviews = 3 Blue Stars, 2 Yellow Stars
650 Reviews = 4 Blue Stars, 1 Yellow Star
750 Reviews = 5 Blue Stars
For Red Stars:
850 Reviews = 1 Red Star, 4 Blue Stars
950 Reviews = 2 Red Stars, 3 Blue Stars
1050 Reviews = 3 Red Stars, 2 Blue Stars
1150 Reviews = 4 Red Stars, 1 Blue Star
1250 reviews = 5 Red Stars
Reds seem hard to get, am I right? But some people have them, amazing, No? Then again most of them have been on here sense the beginning, so don't feel bad you don't have them they have worked hard over the years for them.
Also under the user name of people there are titles you might have seen, these are for the posts they have, and are rankings really. They go like this
Also According to the amount of posts you have you are given a different rank
New Member: 0-4 posts
Novice: 5-14 posts
Junior Writer: 15 - 49 posts
Writer: 50 - 99 posts
Senior Writer: 100 - 249 posts
Novelist: 250 - 499 posts (This gives a perk)
Speaker of the Forum: 500+ posts
And when you get to novelist you get to have a custom title, mine is the kind of awesome puppet thing on mine (I forgot it).
It also goes higher than that, but I can't remember the post count for them, I believe 1,000 give speaker though.
So yeah if you need anything else feel free to PM.

Hiya! Welcome to YWS! Alright, so the basic rules have been covered! So, I'm going to go over the colors on YWS. In case you haven't noticed, some usernames are colored differently than others.
~Black - Normal members who write and critique.
~Blue - Greeters who welcome the newbies! ~Purple - Instructors that give in-depth critiques.
~Green (light and dark) - Mods that take care of certain forums.
~Red - Site administrators who keep the site running smoothly.
~Orange - Distinguished members; usually retired mods or admins.
^_^ I think that's it for the colors. What kind of genres do you like to write? Are you another poetry fan? Whatever you write I'm sure you can find a group of people who like the same thing...That's part of the reason why YWS is so addictive...XD
Anywayz, I think that's about it...Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, need a review, or just want to talk! ^_^

Hi Slash ^^
Welcome to YWS, as you sure can see I'm new here too.
It's cool that you are at my age, 13. Well, my birthday is in May, though.
I'm not going to ask questions because all the other have allready asked.
Nice to meet you, Slash..
