Young Writers Society

Wow. I guess, that's all that I can say. I wouldn't want to nitpick too. YWS is a really great site, filled with open-minded people. You wouldn't receive as many reviews as you do in YWS than in the other writing sites as far as I've experienced.

P.S.
This is the only '5 reasons' post I read. xD

I won't agree with number two, 'cause just so people know, there are other forums with custom titles.

But other than that, this is an amazing article. Good job! I totally agree with the others. Though if I have to nitpick this article (oh, c'mon this is a review! XD At least I'm trying to help improve even if you don't want it. ), I think you could have put it in a countdown layout . XD Like:

...and number one...tadarada!

REVIEWS!

HAHA.... =))

Anyway, thanks for posting this. YWS is number oooonnneee! =D/ yaaaay... (I'll miss this when I'm not young anymore. *pouts*)

I'm glad to say that this is one of the first '5 reasons...' posts that I have actually enjoyed and didn't offend anyone. I'm glad that you chose reviews as number one. Unfortunatley, I think this is so good, I am not going to get nitpicky. I'm just going to write this post to thank you for making this post which everyone has enjoyed reading and not just for the points or for a badge.

But more to the point. Excellent points! I liked that you put a description after each thing you said. Also the presentation and colours were really eye-catching, but not too harmful to the eyes. I agree with you that YWS is NOT a waste of time and that this is the best kid-friendly website I've ever participated in! Go YWS!

Couldn't have put it better myself! Excellent.

Had nothing that I didn't agree with. Good good good!

Talented writer award.
Love kaka x

@ everyone confused

I meant it the other way around! My bad...

I take this retaliation as an act of war! Haha I'm kidding unless it's war you want anyway, I liked this. Along with clicking the like button. Good going, Warrior Princess. I love YWS. It's the best site on my list of favorite sites. Well bye!

One word: AGREED.
This website is the best!
Keep Writing!

That was so true! Everything you said in there, is how I feel about all of us YWS people. I feel like I am more productive on this site than any other, also I stopped reading books a lot. Now when I want to read a book, I turn on my iPod and go on YWS and pick a story and chapter. Haha, I love you all.

Hey, my username is cupcake! Hehehe.

I say amen to that, sister!

It's true! YWS is the only site that offers concrete reviews, as far as I know. I mean, I know that there are some fanfiction sites, and other writing sites that let people review, but, seriously? The reivews on there are about as solid as jell-o, and consist mainly of "OMG, dat wuz amazinnnnggg!!!! srsly, i lk, <3 it!!" And other such painful things.

Thank you for putting this out there! Anyone who thinks otherwise shouldn't be fouling up YWS space. Or, if they do think otherwise, should keep it to themsleves.

From the second I read the title, I loved it.
You are so right!
YSW is the best website and in enriches your life and doesn't rot your brain like most websites do!
I am planning to study journalism in university, witch is pretty much language arts!
But, if I am a bad writer, then I shouldn't waste my money on college for journalism.
But here, people your age, that have the same common interest and want to help you grow writing skills can tell you if you a good writer or a bad writer!
This was a very good and I enjoyed it very much!
Happy New Year!

The first reason is probably the reason I love this website so much, though; I been on here for two/three weeks (At the most). I've loved writing ever since I was in the first grade. Not only do I get to share my work with fellow "amatures", but they give me constructive criticism. I have yet to come across anyone mean (not yet anyway, time will tell). I've only posted a few of my short shories and poetry; but the reviews I've gotten are so encouraging and helpful! I can be a bit timid to put my work out there because people one the internet can be so blunt and harsh, but not on TWS.

It's a process of becoming a better writer. Sometimes I don't even feel the need to put my writings up on here; because reading is enough for me. All these brilliant idea for stories coming from such young people; you have no idea how much of a breath of fresh air it is to read something that isn't about stupid vampires, wearwolfs, and young "love". Yes I know I'm a teenager but that's not all I wanted as an option to read when I go to Boarders.

I just can't wait for the day when I have read something on YWS and then years down the line that person is on The New York Times best seller list and it would be all because of the persistance and hard work the writer went through. And maybe, just maybe it might be because of some nice soul choose to use constructive words instead of destructive words to better that person as a writer.

I wish the best for everyone on this website, even though I don't know any of you ! No matter if you're just aspiring to become a better writer, become a published author, or maybe both like me, I hope it happens.

AAAAAHHHHH! I love this! I'm glad someone finally put my feelings into words. Since I've come to YWS, I've begun to loathe Facebook (I was kinda loathing it before anyway, but coming here made it more set-in-stone). You're right that you've got to worry about everything you put on there, because someone is ALWAYS watching for you to screw up. Thanks for posting this! I love it!

This is great! I love your whole fight fire with fire line. Very true. All these reasons are valid and very agreeable. The fact that it has all the perks of Facebook and more is perhaps the best reason. Plus the fact that it is an educated sight where you can be whoever you want to be without getting judged by "your community." Simply brilliant!

I can totally agree with the points you’ve brought up in this list, Warrior Princess.
And I like how you’ve jazzed up your answers with humorous comments here and there.

There is just something about your work that is just down-to-earth and can be easily related back to the reader.
A marvellous, clever, informing and enjoyable piece of writing, and it can also be said that it is very persuasive. Let’s just see if anyone can bag out YWS just as well as you’ve praised it up!
