Definitely the community. It's so nice how mature everyone is. I also like how it's not so big that you can't know everyone, but it's also big enough that it's not clique-y. I also love the versatility of the site - there's so much to do!

The reviewing system what made me join, but the community is what has made me stay.
We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.

I think you, @Deanie and I are like the Three Book Nerd Musketeers of YWS.

Everything. Can I say everything? Everything.
Noelle is the name, reviewing and writing cliffhangers is the game.

Writer of fantasy, action/adventure, and magic. Huzzah!

There's a whole lot of things that keep me coming back.

The community, the Resources forum, the reviewing system, clubs, the thrill of posting works, etc.

I could go on and on.

casually attempts to revive this thread =P

but just ahhh I'm going to have to agree with what pretty much everyone else has said-- the community on YWS is just so special. <3 I love that YWS is small enough that you can get to know quite a few of the active members, but it's large enough to have a good amount of activity, as well as a diverse array of members. The way YWS is structured with works, reviews, and roleplays also provides an opportunity to make long-lasting friends, which is truly precious. I remember having a ton of fun in wfps, just nerding out over roleplaying xD and chatting with other young writers. I love that YWS brings us all together with our shared passion for writing. <3

And the history of this site! I was reading this thread and a couple of older threads... and omg, YWS is ancient. XD But honestly, it's just really neat to see what YWS culture was like in 2006, 2013, etc. It feels like I'm seeing a slice of internet culture in those years, and being able to see that history is something I have no idea how I'd be able to do otherwise. (Like, is there a way to scroll back to 2015 on instagram?? If there is, I haven't found it =P) Anyways, it's like nostalgia from a time I never knew. :')

And gosh, this is getting rambly now haha. But yes. YWS is the absolute best. <333

I like the site's interface. Seriously. The color scheme's easy on the eyes, and lately I've gotten *very* tired of Facebook-style forums. YWS, I'm glad to note, is still rockin' the PHPBB style, with pages.

I also enjoy storybooks for the way they let me collaborate, have some fun and go outside my comfort zone...but not too far.

I like that everyone on here is so accepting of one another. That kind of acceptance, especially on the internet, is rare nowadays.

I like how the community isn’t toxic. Like, every other place on the internet has some sort of toxic side, but on YWS everyone is just chill (at least from what I’ve seen)
