I wrote this in fifteen minutes. w00t.
Note: If you wern't mentioned, I'm sorry. Don't hate me because I can't fit all of your names into the story.


Once upon a time, there was a young writers convention in Washington, D.C. Young writers came from all around the globe.
A young writer that goes by the name of Rocky packed up her bags and flew to this convention, she called her friends Classy, Ranger, Aspiring, Bond, and Irish. Curious to see if they would also be attending.
“Yes!” they all exclaimed over the phone. Rocky was so excited to be visiting D.C and seeing all of her YWS friends there.

When she was finally settled in at her hotel, she met up with her friends and explored the city. While admiring the Washington Monument; Rocky noticed someone who looked shockingly familiar.
“Nutty?” she asked.
“Excuse me, do I know you?” the girl looked nervous.
“It’s me! Laryngopharyngeal reflux!!” Rocky giggled.
“L.P.R!!” Nutty screamed, giving us all a high-four.

Shadow (Nutty), joined our group. They all went to the Smithsonian Museum together. Classy jabbed Irish and whispered,
“Isn’t that Mr. Knightley?”
“Oh my gosh it is!” Shadow squealed, running over to him.
“Umm… Hi?” the cautious words came from his lips. They all explained who they were, and started walking to the convention.

They ran into several YWS-people, including; Nate, Kamas, Dreamy silented, Lethero, Scarlet, Bolt, Juniper, Ben, Biffle, Kaedee, Temptations, Anger, Forest, Elinor, Skins, jasminebells, Rosey, Juniper, Jabber, Squall, and many others.
"BOLT!!" Rocky and Bond shouted, waving their arms and jumping up and down.
"Yis?" Bolt responded.
"Huh?"
"Wis.... Tes... Pez.... Uhh... YES!!" Bolt stuttered.
Rocky couldn't refrain from laughing, she doubled over, rolling on the carpeted floor.
"Shut it Jersey."
"At least I can spell," Rocky laughed some more, slugging Bolt in the arm.

That night, all the YWSers partied on the National Mall until the FBI made them leave. Then they partied at the jail till all of them got kicked out.
And that marks the day YWS stood still, because all of us were together!
It was the greatest day ever.

The End.

Yayayayay! I was mentioned! And this is not a review!

Anyways, this was so hilarious. I would definitely do that, too. :P

Ha that was funny.
I am nothing

apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.

Cute. :D Awesome idea, it's time that someone turned the YWS road trip idea into a story. The only way to make this awesome story awesomer is to add me in it, duh. :wink: And if you put a little more detail into everything, but...
Being me, I can't let this story go by without a review. Well, a light one at least. Here's some good ol' nitpicks:

LittlePetRock wrote:A young writer that goes by the name of Rocky packed up her bags and flew to this convention, she called her friends Classy, Ranger, Aspiring, Bond, and Irish. Curious to see if they would also be attending.
Run on. I would re-write this area like this: 'A young writer that goes by the name of Rocky packed up her bags and flew to this convention. She called her friends Classy, Ranger, Aspiring, Bond, and Irish, curious to see if they would also be attending.'

LittlePetRock wrote:Rocky was so excited to be visiting D.C and seeing all of her YWS friends there.
Well, obviously. I mean, who wouldn't be excited? Show it, don't say it.

LittlePetRock wrote:While admiring the Washington Monument; Rocky noticed someone who looked shockingly familiar.
What's the semi colon about? Replace with comma.

LittlePetRock wrote:They all went to the Smithsonian Museum together. Classy jabbed Irish and whispered,
“Isn’t that Mr. Knightley?”
Say something to show they're seeing them. Like, 'Classy jabbed Irish and whispered, "Isn't that Mr.Knightley?" She pointed at a figure in the distance.' It would be cool, as I said, if you put more detail into where they found each person, etc...it would make it even more fun.

LittlePetRock wrote:They all explained who they were, and started walking to the convention.
I would say 'They all explained who they were, and started walking together to the convention.' I would specify who 'they' is.

LittlePetRock wrote:Rocky couldn't refrain from laughing, she doubled over, rolling on the carpeted floor.
Replace the comma after 'laughing' with a period.

LittlePetRock wrote:"At least I can spell," Rocky laughed some more, slugging Bolt in the arm.
Some people might not know what you're talking about.


I assume that all of these run on problems are probably due to writing this all in fifteen minutes. And even though this all isn't very realistic...for example, how did everyone know who's who when finding people? If you went into detail and had a logical idea for why, that would make everything even better, but...bah! Who cares? The idea was awesome enough to make up for all of that.

Haha! I love it, LPR!

Wait! I have one thing to point out!

I do love how you added me in here, BUT, it is Temptations.. :D

Other than that, I thought it was really funny. It would be totally amazing if we all like met or something. It would be a nerd party of epic proportions. :D

Hey LittlePetRock. I didn't get mention but that's okay. :)

I couldn't get any point of writing this. I didn't find anything interesting. You should have expanded it a bit more and then it would have given us the impact. I really wanted to read some more about the convention but you disappointed.

haha, this is great 8)
Like Knightly said, this isn't a review. I just thought I'd drop by and leave a comment!

And I got mentioned, I think anyway :lol: I thought that the only ones who actually knew me was my nan and my cat. Yeah... my nan...

Anyway! Like I said before, I J'adore this!
I went all French on you there,

Can't wait for the sequel :wink:

Edit: Wow! I just realised that I have a badge... you learn something new every day :smt001 I thought I'd let you know...
I didn't know what to put here so I put this.

Awwwwwwww. How sweet. The grammar was horrible, but the idea of a YWS convention sounds great. The only problem is that it's on the wrong coast for me... I don't have a job... I wouldn't be able to go unless I wanted to be in debt for a couple decades!

Well, when it happens, I shall visit in my dreams or by proxy. Or skype?

*laughs* see you around!

Hey Rockeh!! Irish here

Oh my God I was mentioned twice!!

Truly I am honored. Thank you so much :D

This is acutally kinda ironic, I just got the idea for a script type thing that involved YWS members too, but now that I think about it, a short story would be easier. (I am not copying you I swear, its a totally differant subject!)

Again, I am really honored! Doubley so. Thanks so much for writing this! It made my day :D I love it! *likes*
