Hello, my name is Buddy and i am new here. I've read the rules and critiqued two stories so i think it is about time i posted my own.

I just wanted to say hello before i really got cracking and was wondering if there were any other staple-rules i need to and/or should adhere to if any are unspoken.

Thanks, Buddy.

Hiya Buddy and welcome to YWS!

Since you seem pretty good with the rules, I'll tell you about a few fun things you can do while you're here. You can visit the YWS Chat, where you can meet other writers and make friends! You can get there from the main page. You can also join groups when you click the big 'Groups' button on the header. It's lots of fun, because you can join groups based off of your interests. There's a Debate group, and others that you might like. Making your own blog is also a plus on YWS! Hit the 'Blogs' button and you can view other writer's blogs and make your own. There's a lot more to YWS than the Literature forums, as you can see.

Also, if you'd like a review done by one of our many talented Insructors, please contact one from this thread:

If you have a question, feel free to PM me.

Hiya Buddy!! I've only been on for one day, and I am really liking it here. everybody is really friendly and helpful. it's a fun site!! So what kind of writing do you do? I've only posted one Romantic Fiction, 'Outlaw' and sadly, no one has looked into it, but my older sister just told me to wait and see! ;) I'd ask you more questions, but it looks like Mira covered most of 'em! haha, have fun on YWS! See ya around!

Oh god, sorry i've been busy as hell recently but i'll give these answers a crack i guess. Apparently i need to be more 'active' if not i won't get reviews, the politics, the politics.

Ok here goes it:

What's your favorite color?

My favourite colour..ahh, i have no idea. Really, maybe eye colour because they're usually an amalgamation of a few.

What's your favorite genre of literature? Fave author?

I'm a big fan of 'other fiction' as it would be called on this site. I like Kafka, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Tolstoy, Salinger, Orwell, O. Henry, Chekhov, Flaubert, Wilde..

What type of music do you like?

Ahh jesus i have a pretty wide range. I like soft rock, i like jazz, i like blues, i like some hip-hop, i like aaaaaaaaaah, some harder rock i guess.

If you could be any animal, which one would you be?

Animal wise? Sheesh you know, i wouldn't mind. They all rely on instinct so any would be fine. I don't think any would think too much.
