We all love YWS. It is a special place on the internet where you can find other people with a shared love of writing. Whether you are here to receive reviews on your novel, read poetry works, or collaborate with roleplay, YWS is a community that welcomes everyone and encourages everyone to be creative. We may have all stumbled on to YWS to share our writing, but we often stay for the community.
Last year we celebrated Social Week for exactly that: our community. This year we will celebrate it again, but this time for a whole month!
During the month of February, there will be new prompts and challenges that will encourage conversation, discussion, poetry, silliness, chaos, and more!
For Social Month, we are celebrating the community on site! There will be challenges that promote conversation and joy, and this spreads across all areas of the site. Each week will have new exciting challenges and wall post prompts, hosted by each of our crews:: Roleplay, Poetry, Resource/Community, and General Literature.
- Here's how Social Month will work:
Each prompt or challenge will be introduced in this thread and in wall posts. Participation is easy: simply follow the prompt or challenge to get involved! It will involve posting on other's walls.
We ask that you include the hashtags included in the prompts so that we can link all that kindness together. Feel free to share as many wall posts as you'd like (without spamming people's walls). Let's fill the site with poetry, kindness, and fun! If you'd rather share a different type of poem on a friend's wall, that's okay too! These are just to get you started.
But wait! ... There's more! ...
