YWS'tival Grand Opening

The YWS'tival, operated by the whole mod squad and Nate, headed by SparkofDoubt and Shino, opens today, February 10, 2013, with Post Your Points Sunday.

The celebration of the Big Awesome Festival is in line with February's Valentine's Day and the Lunar New Year, thus YWSers could celebrate YWS's booming activity this month with these two in a week-long marathon of activities and games.

The many organizers of the YWS'tival shared to us that the activity is not only for a specific member, but for everyone in YWS. Each day, the YWS'tival will open up different activities and games encompassing a specific topic. To find out, why not join and actively participate at the YWS'tival yourself!

YWStival: All Week
The epic, week long battle will begin with the Sky Pirates vs Sky Ninjas storybook.
and
What's the best poem you have ever read? Post it! Hannah and SparkofDoubt want to know!
Both of these event hold great promise!

Post Your Points Away Sunday
Today starts off the first day of the YWStival! The point of ‘Post Your Points Away Sunday’ is to end the day with zero points. Play games in the Writing Activities forum and discuss fiction in the Fiction Discussion and Tips forum. Use this converter to find the time for your own timezone.

Along with the fun that will be going on all day, there will be two chatting events. The first, taking place at 3pm GMT, will be a Flash Fiction Frenzy, and the second, taking place at 6pm GMT, will be the battle field of the Mass Word Wars. Both events promise great fun.

The entire event calendar can be found here.

Get ready to post!

Storybook Spotlight

Good morning/evening/afternoon (depending on what time-zone you're in) readers!

Today's Storybook Spotlight shines on 'The Conflict'; a seemingly endless war between chaos and control over the use of magic.

Now, one might find this an interesting read based on how the battle is fought:






...the unique spin on the three main races: elves, dwarves, humans. And the magical classes they are divided into: creators, engineers, and manipulators.

These three things make this SB beautifully unpredictable, and deffinently a must-read.

Best wishes to all those involved in the SB!
