Forgive me if I'm being dense, but why do you want gifts?

Sorry, I'm new! :)

Hi Gnomish!

It's November 14th! (And 15th in some timezones, of course!) This is the day that YWS was originally made, which means it's YWS's birthday! So we celebrate each year and make it festive—hosting events and giving gifts.

"Gifts" are just pretty icons we give each other with our extra points! They're something nice to look at, really. You can see all the gifts you've received on your gifts page!

You can also donate points to other users outright, which helps them post more works! Posting a work costs 200 points (you start out with that many to post your first!) and you earn more points by reviewing others' works!

Welcome to YWS, and I hope we see you for many birthdays to come!
stay off the faerie paths

Thanks Vervain! :D

I was also wondering what I should name my folder.

It said that I needed a folder before I could publish something, and I'm not sure whether I should title it the name of the work, or whatever else!

Folders are just how you organize works. Generally people name them according to category (poems, stories, etc.) or if they have a folder for their novel, it would be the title of the the novel. The name can also be changed later and you can move works around to different folders if you want to change things up.

What did you try to do? Did you try to upload something? @Gnomish

Yes, but I think it's just because I wrote it on an old version of word. I'm just going to copy and paste it.

I heard on the grapevine that our upload system isn’t working right now so yeah, you’ll just have to copy and paste it. :)
