Young Writers Society

In the course of YWS' five years, we've had over 200 groups created. Of these, though, only 68 survive (of which only 56 are viewable by all).

Of the remaining, they either get deleted or saved. If the group made over 100 posts during its lifetime, its forum generally gets saved. Some of these groups used to be very active.

If you are interested in running any of these groups, just let me know. However, to ensure it doesn't go inactive again, you must find at least seven other people who are willing to join. Once you do, PM me with the name of the group and the names of the seven people. To gather the people, you can use the groups advert forum (under the Groups tab) or ask around in the chat room.

Here's a listing of such groups:

The Dark Elite: 105 posts. A forum to disscuss characters and aspects of |Fantasy Horror/Dark fantasy and discuss techniques and sometimes vulgar plots that are best kept away from the main view of the members.

The group aims to take Randomness to a whole new level.

The Computer & Technology group:

AquaMarine and I agreed in the Usergroup Cleanout thread that we would take over the group.

Note:

I noticed that Nate, I was just letting you know here. Getting people together now. My bad for not saying that.

I'd be interested in leading the Historical Writers group.
