Young Writers Society

One of the many things I love about YWS is the storybooks. Being able to make a story with people ACTUALLY know how to spell for a change is a lot of fun. So I was wondering, what is your favorite type? What draws you in and keeps you posting?

For me, I like animal storybooks. That way you can create a whole society, the way they talk, think, "govern" themselves... it makes you think. I also like it when there's a lot of action, because fights are always fun and its interesting to not have complete control over the outcome.

So what's your storybook type? (Basically, what do you like to write but with other people hehe)

Um...storybooks where my character has a love interest and it's fun. Thats it.

Hmm...I think I find animal ones a lot of work just because I don't know much about animals and get scared I'll look very stupid. I most enjoy story books where there is a decent plot and especially with decent characters. Also, how the characters interact definitely effects how much I enjoy it. If it all seems really fake and you can't feel the story, it's not as much fun. ^_^ Basically, I like storybooks where everyone works together to have fun while on an adventure.

And I definitely dislike ones where people's characters are from an anime. >_> *has had a bad experience with someone's characters (yes, plural) all being from cowboy bebop*

My ideal storybook? One where two members don't invade it with romance.

How about a storybook where people don't get stuck in the doldrums of 'introductions'?

How about a storybook where people post more than a paragraph?

How about a storybook that isn't fantasy and doesn't include any elves or dwarves or fallen humans?

How about a storybook where the story actually goes somewhere?

How about a storybook where everyone isn't beautiful and 'not muscular, but strong' and no one has a 'runner's build'?

How about a storybook with an actual structured plot?

As you can see, I'm a bitter man.

My favorite would be one with intriguing characters. I think I could read anything, no matter how bad the storyline, if I really loved the characters. Likewise, even if the story is to die for, but the characters are just cardboard cutouts, I'd burn the book before I finished it.

I like storybooks with a variety of characters, not the cookie cutter ones where everyone's tall, dark and handsome (and superstrong, and never gets hurt, and [/babble])

I also like storybooks that go somewhere. Where there are different groups of people who all help or hurt or are neutral with each other. Just one blob of people isn't any fun. I'm a fantasy nut because I have an imagination and I like to use it, I don't like to be limited by reality =/

One that I can keep up with.
