I'm new here

[Elvenscholar]

Hey! The names Elfy, and I've been writing for a little while, but really want to start writing more often and basically get as much experience as possible. I've ran my own (small) forum, which eventually died....multiple times. I really enjoy writing, and wish to pursue it in the future as a hobby, or possibly a career. I'd just like to get to know some users before I start, so if you want to introduce yourself, then I'd really appreciate it.

PS. I need a good signature, any suggestions??

[Andy]

Hey, Elfy! I'm Andy, and I like writing fantasy, but have yet to publish anything. :rolleyes: I'm also one of the two admins here. So, :welcome:

For your signature, put in some famous quotes. And a word count meter for your book.

What genres and such do you write in?

[Majyk]

Hello, and welcome to YWO. I'm Majyk, or Maj, whichever works, and I might as well say that I write fantasy novels. Be active, critique stuff, have fun, and I'll see you around ^^. Oh, and be a :ninjasign:

What genres and such do you write in?

Yeah, what he said.

[Elvenscholar]

I normally write fantasy, but might dabble every now and then in realistic stories.
For the most part, I start writing novels, and never come anywhere near finishing them, which is pretty much why I joined this site. I figure the more I read others works, the more I myself will be inspired to write.

[Majyk]

Ah. When you post a story (if it's fantasy), feel free to PM me for a critique on it.

[Elvenscholar]

Will do.
How do I set up a word count meter?

[Nyx]

Hey! Welcome.
Sig suggestions? Quote me in it and you can't go wrong :P

See ya around.

[Majyk]

Will do.
How do I set up a word count meter?

You either click the little thing on the far corner of the reply box when you're in advance, or, type this (only with your own numbers) :

100000

(Oh... Um. Quote me, you'll see the thing you need to type.)

I give you permission to copy my multi-brained sig! :D

Or, maybe not. But still, it's nice seeing another serious writer. ^^

I'm Raffy. Enjoy your stay

Does it update on my own, or is that my ever tedious job?

[Majyk]

Does it update on my own, or is that my ever tedious job?


Haha, it's manual. I update mine all the time, it's no big deal, really.

[Elvenscholar]

Alright, just hoping against all reason that it was automated.... don't ask me how.
And thanks to everyone for the introductions, I'm gonna need all the help I can get :P.

It reads minds. You know that stack of looseleaf on your desk? It counts the words. :D

Enjoy! :)

[Andy]

Wait, your first name's Andrew?

[Carraka]

Anudder fantasy person.

You might be just the thing I need.

[random_writer]

Agh! I love your signature, Elfy! Don't tell me...
Guardian Angel, by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, right?
You and I should get along great... but I knew that from your name.
So... fantasy... Fun stuff, isn't it? It's pretty basically the one and only creative part of my life besides music. And I don't 'create' that; I just put it on repeat on my iPod for ungodly amounts of time... hehe... he...
Sorry. My name explains it.
Call me Random.
Really.

[Elvenscholar]

Wait, your first name's Andrew?

You betcha! :D

And thanks Random, it's nice to meet other people with a similar taste in music.

[jordanisonfire]

Anudder fantasy person.

You might be just the thing I need.

Jeez, you're more manipulative than me. Don't you have enough crits coming from me?

And anyway, hello, new newbie. Remember to... do nice stuff. Otherwise the admins and mods get cranky and start yelling. Don't want that. Bye now!

[seikoXchan]

I'm going to put this as nicely as possible:
Hi, I'm Shay, but call me Seiko. Welcome to YWO. ^^
BE A NINJASQUIRREL OR YOU'LL WAKE UP IN A TUB OF ICE IN MRS. THEODORE'S CLASSROOM WITH YOUR KIDNEYS MISSING. >D
-ahem- I'm also one of the most random personas here, so be afraid.
Grawr. :]

[That wasn't simple... damn. -.-"]

[jordanisonfire]

Ah yes, the ninja-pirate-llama thing. I'll lay it down for you:

You should choose ninjas because:
a) they use kick-ass moves and weaponry
b) they aren't disease-ridden
c) they can travel anywhere
d) they don't do disgusting things like spit

You should not choose pirates or llamas because:
a) pirates are drunkards who can't fight because they're intoxicated and llamas haven't got opposable thumbs
b) pirates have several diseases and llamas walk around in their own excrement all day
c) pirates are restricted to boats and llamas are restricted to fields
d) pirates constantly rape women and start fights and llamas do spit

[Carraka]

I meant that I need to critique before I post again ...

And you just turned me off of critiquing yours.

[jordanisonfire]

How nice. Unfortunately for you, you can never convince me llamas are better than ninjas. Nor can you prove GRRM is better than any other author's works I've read until I read them. For all I know, Paolini could be better.

[Carraka]

You and Shaun. You and Shaun. Sometimes it's enough to make me want to leave this site.

[jordanisonfire]

Why, what's wrong with Shaun?

Correction: What's wrong with Shaun, in your opinion?

[Andy]

Play nice, everyone. :hide:

[jordanisonfire]

-comes behind the curtain thing and kills Andrew in Demon Ninja form-

Sorry, everyone, Andrew is no longer with us.

-grins evily-

[Andy]

That's better. :)

[jordanisonfire]

Yes, the site is indeed better without you, Andrew.

[Carraka]

I repeatedly told Shaun the importance of reading George R. R. Martin (since he's a sci-fi/fantasy book reviewer), and he got so annoyed with me that he threatened to never read the series. He says that it's all my fault -- more Shaun logic, because he's the only one deciding what he reads. It doesn't bother me that he hasn't read it yet, but it really bothers me that he threatens me with it. But now that he's proclaimed he'll never read it, I have nothing to lose, so I can keep bugging him if I so wish.

These things would be so much easier if he just read the damn series. If he has pride, well, let him never tell me he read them. It's just ... -sigh- Gah.

I used to never understand religious fanatics, but I like to think I'm a bit closer to seeing their point of view. What with my new religion and all, and me actually having feelings about it ... This is all rather distressing.

[Phantom]

Ello', I'm Phantom...
What kind of writing? Fiction? Non-Fiction? Poetry?
Song lyrics always make good signatures, or funny quotes, or cliches, really stupid cliches.

[Andy]

Let's keep the focus on the new member who made the thread. ^^

If you want to continue another conversation, do it via PM.

[jordanisonfire]

I read the first two pages, then looked up and saw my Wii and couldn't resist. Plus, I have to de-wasp my room. I had a half hour fight with one before I managed to splat it. And I've gotta finish watching Saw 3.

Edit: Sorry. Started writing this before you posted, Andrew.

[Alex]

Hello, if your scared, well don't be because its only an internet forum =p.

I'm Alex. If you ever decide to write realisitc fiction or poetry I'll critique you, other htan that everything else has been covered. Pce

[Elvenscholar]

I've got to say that after reading these comments I'm slightly.... disturbed. :P
But I think I'll go with Ninjas, seeing as I'm not particularly fond of my own excrement, and rape is never a good thing. So hi-ya! :ninja:

[seikoXchan]

It's a good thing to be disturbed. >]

YOSH! ANOTHER NINJA JOINS US IN DOMINATION OF YWO! Kyaa~ T^T
/spam :glare:

Question: What do you write? I know this has been asked before, but I forget and I'm too lazy to go back through the thread.

[Majyk]

But I think I'll go with Ninjas, seeing as I'm not particularly fond of my own excrement, and rape is never a good thing. So hi-ya! :ninja:


Yay, another newbie added to the ninjas!

[random_writer]

Congrats on signing away your sanity. Good going. At least you have the other ninja-people to keep you company.
Kidding!
So... back to you. Um...
What do you like to do? What do you do for a living? Do you enjoy moonlit walks near bodies of water?

... I'm running out of questions. Sorry. :]

[jordanisonfire]

Well done, Elven. You made the correct choice. You can join the ninjamages, ninja squirrels or you can make up your own sect. I'm the Demon Ninja, but there can only be one. Heh. And Raf's the Ninjagod.

[Elvenscholar]

Question: What do you write? I know this has been asked before, but I forget and I'm too lazy to go back through the thread.

I write fantasy, some medieval, some modern.

And to random, I enjoy writing, music, and school sports, I'm currently in highschool, but work part time at two restaurants as a dishwasher, and yes, I do enjoy moonlit walks near bodies of water.

Lastly, I think I'll go with Ninjamages, there more my style.

[Majyk]

Lastly, I think I'll go with Ninjamages, there more my style.

Woo! Great choice once again! Me and Tsuki Hikari are the head ninjamages :D

[asian-fanatic]

Hi nub.
I'm Amanda, and trust me, I mean whatever I say in the nicest way possible. [=
Heehaw.

edit
ooh i pwned a page.

[Phantom]

You sound like an interesting person, Elfy.

[Simmi]

Welcome to YWO Amanda! Choose between ninja or llama, it's very important here :D Well have fun YWO-ing

[Phantom]

Or you can be a Ninjallama!

[random_writer]

Hey, why didn't anyone tell me there were more openings for ninjamages?! I might've joined the ninjas! As it was, I about joined as a piratemage! (Which is total plagiarism, but still...)

[Majyk]

What the--! You're a piratemage?

*thinks about that*

...

... ...

... ... ...


You could switch...?

[jordanisonfire]

Aha! Pirates have no creativity, so they must steal our suffixes! The fools.

[Rouge]

HIYAHIYA!!!

:mellow: I've been gone FIVE DAYS and my User CP is FULL.
xP

Oh, hey. :) I seem to be here late, but since I just got home this morning, I'm excused.
^^

I'm Adrienne, nice to meet you.
Oh, and I love your avatar.

[Elvenscholar]

Thank you, humble masta'. *Bows*

[Rouge]

Hey, why didn't anyone tell me there were more openings for ninjamages?! I might've joined the ninjas! As it was, I about joined as a piratemage! (Which is total plagiarism, but still...)


:mellow: I'm just seeing this and it doesn't make me happy.

THAT IS SO MINE! you can't use it.

xP Make up your own.

[Phantom]

Very nice Tsuki.

[Majyk]

Tsuki! Yay, you're back. Are you? Anyway, this newbie's a ninjamage ^^

[Rouge]

Good. :)

No Piratemages. That's...... wrong. xD

[random_writer]

What the--! You're a piratemage?

*thinks about that*

...

... ...

... ... ...


You could switch...?

I said "I almost joined..." I haven't joined anyone yet!

[jordanisonfire]

I wonder if it's the job of the Ninjademon to harass his own people?

-grins-

[Majyk]

I said "I almost joined..." I haven't joined anyone yet!

You haven't? Then join the ninjamages! Or at least the ninjas :D

[Elvenscholar]

Ya, join us ninjamages. I'm the only one I know who isn't a leader :(.

[Majyk]

There used to be a bunch who weren't leaders. Blue Phoenix, Midnight Moon, Midnight, more I'm forgetting probably...

[Elvenscholar]

Ah, well then, until a few moments ago, I was the only one I knew who wasn't a leader.

That counts for something doesn't it?

[random_writer]

Okay...
Announcing the newest addition to the awesome epicness of the ninjamages...
ME!
I'm happy now. I'm officially a ninja!
:ninja::ninjaread::ninjawrite::vanish::lookout::ninjablade:

[angela]

WELCOME TO YWO! :D

Uh.. I don't know what else to say.. I guess just welcome and hope you find this site enjoyable and helpful :]

[Majyk]

Now I think it'd be good it I /spam

[Elvenscholar]

Yay! *celebrates belatedly*

[jordanisonfire]

Hehehehahahaha.

-Ninjademon grin-

[Elvenscholar]

The ninjamages stand untied!! I mean, united!!

[random_writer]

I would say "Bad Spellers Untie!"... but I'm not a bad speller...

[Gandalf the White]

She's a bad speller. Don't believe her. You should see her on IM. OR in REAL life. It's sick.

[random_writer]

Hey, I went to Regionals for Scripps. I just can't type very fast... Mr. Insane-Keyboard-Speed

[Elvenscholar]

I know what you mean Random. Sometimes I wonder whether my friends take finger steroids or not. Then I realize there's probably no such thing. *sigh* Oh well.

[random_writer]

We should do a finger-steroid bust. Like a drug bust. For finger-steroids....

Look out, Gandalf! We WILL find them!

[Gandalf the White]

I am open to this! I hope you "do" find some finger typing steroids. I Just naturally type fast. I have been typing on the computer sense like the age of 4. Seriously. In all seriousness. :D Just test yourself and eventually you will be fast.

[Jessica]

Welcome, I like you, congrats, take care.

[jordanisonfire]

I got my first computer when I was four, hence my facisnation with all things electrical, and I type fast. Though I'm only fifteen... I wonder what I'll be like before I die.

-imagines an old man typing madly-

Sw33t.

[Elvenscholar]

When we're all old people, we will be completely technologically competent, unlike today's batch. You see, they didn't grow up with computers, or t.v.'s even, but we have. *smiles maniacly*

[random_writer]

But when we're old and ready to die, all the technology will have changed! I do suppose we could adapt to it, but it'd just be annoying.

[Gandalf the White]

Technology is my best friend. I am fascinated by all the gadgets and gizmos that come out. Call me whatever you want, either way, I will be a techno freack for the rest of my life! :P

[Elvenscholar]

I would've called you a Techno Freak, seeing as there's no 'c' in 'freak'..... :P

[Shaun]

I repeatedly told Shaun the importance of reading George R. R. Martin (since he's a sci-fi/fantasy book reviewer), and he got so annoyed with me that he threatened to never read the series.

I used to never understand religious fanatics, but I like to think I'm a bit closer to seeing their point of view. What with my new religion and all, and me actually having feelings about it ... This is all rather distressing.

Carr, my problem isn't that I don't want to read GRRM, I just don't like being constantly reminded that I need to read his work. It ruins the reading experience for me when people continuously hype a book, and if I can't read a book and enjoy it as a book there's no point in reading it. I have to let the hype die down before I read the books. There are a lot of books that I should read that I won't right now because everyone gets all excited and screams at me to read them.
I will read them one day, but right now I need to focus on other things, and you know that. I have a lot of books to do for review, then school work, etc. I have things that have to come first.
And I'm not actually mad at you. So if you think that I am, I'm not. Take most anything I say outside of the debate room as either me being weird or sarcastic or some other form of something that shouldn't be taken entirely seriously.
