I also think I heard rumors about monkeys and Heather baking a cake... but we'll see! So keep your eyes peeled for more information.

Head over to this thread without any hesitation now!

“It is the coolest of things!”~PenguinAttack

“I think it's incredible! It's comforting to know that there are so many young writers preparing to go into the world. We could see this generation's Charles Dickens or Jane Austen rising from YWS!”~Cole

“Great actually. Surprised we have so many members”~ Soulkana

“I feel elated, and wonderful for being Mod to such a great site, with so many people.”~MiaParamore

“I think it's awesome! I joined in 2009, I think, and it's been one of the best thing's I've done. You can understand why it's passed 25,000 - it's just an amazing site with really cool people”~ [user]*coco[/user]

“I think it's fantastic that young people can find a way to express themselves and maybe get some recognition so it's cool that there are more more people willing to share their writings and read others.”~HajarR

“I think that's awesome, though i'm not surprised ”~ Janika

“I think it's great! I like that YWS can keep growing and growing and yet remain such a tight knit community. I think the fact that we've managed to get to 25,000 members means that YWS still has appeal and is a great tool for young writers and it's impressive that even after a few years YWS remains relevant and running ”~Beckiw

“I find it interesting. When I first found YWS about 6 months ago, I thought it was kinda small based on how close knit everyone was. I guess I was wrong.”~NoirLumiere

“I think it's fantastic that such a vibrant community and excellent resource continues to grow and attract new members.”~Rubric

“It feels kind of great, right? I mean, YWS has progressed a lot. They deserve a lot more members. And also, YWS has always been awesome like that.”~ ChocoCookie

“I'm so excited! It's a milestone, and a big one at that! I can't wait till we're talking about 100,000 members instead of 25,000. This site deserves nothing less.”~SparkofDoubt

"I think that if we keep getting our co-workers and friends to join we'll be hitting the 50,000 mark by next year, maybe even sooner!!!"~ Lylas

There you have it!

This wondrous site continues to grow with the passing of this Wednesday. Take a moment to go welcome these awesome new members!
