Hiya! Welcome to the wonderful world of YWS! This site gets amazingly addicting after a while... So, some rules that you should know are :
~Don't write in all caps. No one wants to see something written LIKE THIS. It just gets on people's nerves.
~Always use proper spelling and grammar. And, don't overuse chatspeak. An occasion 'lol' or 'brb' is fine. But, don't use it too much, 'kay?
~Always rate your works. If it has explicit scenes or uses the f-word it must be rated R. Works that aren't rated R will show up on the front page, so you get more chance of critiques.
^_^ I think that's about it. Wait! Nope! I almost forgot one.
~Nate is YWS God. Never forget this. It is extremely important to know for anyone on this site. Got it?
I think that's it for now. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, need a review, or just want to talk.

Love is the answer to life yet the slowest form of suicide. Love is a paradox. And that's why we love it.
