Young Writers Society

Because Empress Kat was listing monkey names from the media. I must say, you monkeys aren't exactly fair.

Kat also said,

And oh so many more. so lets realize this is a vote on the mascot. not a leader. So stop throwing around names.

I agree with her .

Dragons also are commonly "immortal"- and a writer's work, once out in the world, can also be everlasting. We are still reading the Bible, "Little Women", Mark Twain, Charles Dickens and countless other classic books and authors. Truly, paper and ink may fade away in time- but the words, phrases and meanings will still linger in our minds. The dragon! The dragon!

HEAR HEAR INDEED! (ccm is a traitor... *sniff* i can't believe it...

Here's the old YWS logo with a dragon in it... Bobo hated it so much that within a day or two, he had a replacement for it (also below):

Lol, more or less.


People. Vote monkey. Seriously, monkey. Why?

I think the mascot should represent the whole site of YWS, not just its Fantasy section - I mean, dragons are more or less linked with fantasy, don't you agree? Now, a nice, cute monkey is more neutral. A monkey can represent the whole site, from Poetry to Fiction, Storybooks, Randomness etc. The whole site. I think that most people, after seeing a dragon as a site mascot, would automatically only think of Fantasy. Say, a poetry writer would just skip the site, having no interest whatsoever in Fantasy and Fiction.

-But that’s just my point of view.

What about something that ISN'T a monkey or a dragon? Yeah, I know the vote was narrowed down to dragon or monkey, but if its gonna take twenty years to settle which one will win, maybe go for someting totally unrelated? Personally, I like dragons, but I get your point Elein, about monkeys being neutral.
