Hello there, welcome to YWS! Basically, we're a site where young writers can come and post their work for others to review and give them tips on how to make it better. However, you also have to post reviews and we have a 2:1 ration in that you need to review two people's work for every one you post.

Make sense so far? Then there's the other areas of the site, such as the storybook forum where writers create stories together just for the fun of it, and there's various usergroups and community forums where members can talk and just generally discuss interests and such.

I'll not overwhelm you with further details here but if you have any specific questions or would like a longer explanation, feel free to send me a private message =)

I'm sure you'll love it here!

Hey Sydney,
Welcome to YWS! :D
Let me re-elaborate the rules first:
~ Please keep your chatspeak and CAPS to a minimal, and write proper english.
~ For every 1 piece of work you post, you should review 2 pieces done by others.
~ Rate your works appropriately for their content. For example, sexual content should be rated 'R'.

Oh, and if you're wondering about our colours:
Blue - Greeters. The name says it all.
Purple - Instructors. They help you out with your work, reviews, writing tips on how to improve and practically everything under that category.
Light Green/Dark Green - Junior Mods & Moderators respectively. They help maintain the forums on YWS and make sure that we're all having good, clean fun.
Red - Administrators. The Moderators assist these awesome people. We have 3 admins: Nate (The Creator of YWS), Firestarter & Meshugenah.
Orange - Distinguished members. Retired Mods and Admins.

Yup, that's about it.
If you've got any further queries, don't hesitate to PM me.
~Have a nice day! :D

Hello! I’m XYZinnia, but you can just call me Y! :D

YWS is a wonderful little world! Everyone here is so nice!

Hmm, I want to tell you something. Oh! I know.

To publish one of your works, it costs 150 points. (But you get 50 back, so really only 100.) You can get points by reviewing other peoples work.

There we go. I’m good now. :)

Tell us about yourself! What do you like to write? Have you finished a book yet? What’s your favorite color? We want to get to know you!

Any who, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

See ya around! :)

You don't know what this is? :shock: It's paradise, my friend, writer's paradise.

Welcome to the site! I'm sure you'll soon be just as addicted as we are. :D
