Young Writers Society

Step right up! Iggy needs your help! Please answer this poll and tell me what, exactly, you liked and/or didn't like about the Olympics. (Remember: be classy, not trashy)

Also vote for your favorite event, and don't be afraid to say why! When I say vote on an event, I mean: what was your favorite event to write an entry for?

And yes, I am limiting you to one vote, because I want to know your TOP FAVORITE. If you want to leave a reply and tell me your second/third/etc., please do so!

and yes, this is for Squills. >_>

Am I allowed to vote for the event I helped create?

Vote for whatever one you want to, Meshy!

The scavenger hunt was the only one I took part in in the end, so I voted for that - but I think it was such a wonderful mix of events and they were all great.

I really liked them all, as all made me think and actually write something. (Well, besides the Scavenger Hunt.) I am notorious for not having a favorite anything-- not even a favorite color. I especially loved, though, the Villanelle, Me, Myself, and..., The No E's, and maybe the fairy tale poetry.

A top favorite? That's a tough choice. I loved all of the events! And just 'cause I feel like it, here are my favorite things about each event...

Event One: Fanfiction Antics. I really like this because it helped me to kind of... um... tame my desire for Shadows Alive to come out. That's a planned novel by Orson Scott Card. It will tie up some lose ends from his books Shadows in Flight and Children of The Mind. I really loved both books and can't wait to read this one.
Event Two: Go Away and Stay Away. This was definitely not the kind of writing challenge I expected! But it required some serious creativity from it's winners, which made reading their entries quite enjoyable.
Event Three: Good Guys Finish Last. Something about stepping into the world of someone so evil is just quite pleasant.
Event Four: Library of Imaginary Things. This was wonderful because it helped me to discover a new way of developing my worlds. Just write news articles from that world! That is a technique I will probably be using for a long time because of this event.
Event Five: No E's. This was super hard. But it made me realize the importance of each letter in the English language, which only makes me love writing even more!
Event 6: My Writer, The Character. It was really fun to write. And it really helped me to get to know my character better, particularly sense the character I used is actually a pretty minor character in my current novel.
Event Seven: Not Your Average Villanelle. This was the first time that I tried writing a poem with a specific form. And I loved it!
Event Eight: Fairy Tale Poetry. This event made me think about my favorite fairy tale in an unusual way, from the viewpoint of the main characters father. Which in it's own way helped me understand the tale better. Not to mention there where quite a lot of really cool poems entered into this event.
Event Nine: Me, Myself, and... This was really fun! Mostly because I to try and imagine my wonderful sweet Butterscotch as a cat who wanted to leave his home. Which kinda made me sad. I love my Butterkitty!
Event Ten: Scavenger Hunt. This event inspired me to learn a lot of interesting things about YWS. Which I can later mention to make myself sound really old and awesome.

But even though they all where so great, I suppose I do need to pick a favorite. I think I'll go with Event Six. It was just really really fun to write.

It was a tie between The library of imaginary things and the scavenger hunt.
