Hi! I'm new around here. I write novels, poetry and short stories, mostly around 10-15yrs. old fantasy fiction.

Hi!!! Welcome to YWO. I hope you love it here.
What are your favourite books? Least favourite?
How many pets do you have?
What is the name of the main character in your most recent short story?
That is all. I look forward to reading some of your stuff!

Hello newbie.
May I assume that you are 10-15 years old? That (hopefully) means that you are younger than me. And that makes me happy. I don't like being a young 'un.
As Majyk said, follow the Rules (http://www.youngwritersonline.net/rules.php) and Critique Guidelines (http://www.youngwritersonline.net/critiques.php) as closely as possible. Obviously, you're allowed to make mistakes :) But not too many, or we'll unleash Alice on you. Just you wait...
Yeah. So, now I can stop being threatening and just be plain odd.
I'm now going to ask you a series of questions. Depending on your answers, I shall mentally sort you into a group and tidy you away. Fun fun.
How old are you?
What do you like to read?
What, if you had to pick one, would be your favourite book?
Socks, or not?
Cold or hot?
Blue or green?
Do you find bubblewrap to be epic in every way?
Where do you get your books from, and how often do you read?
That is all. If you need anything, and don't already dislike me, feel free to let me know. I'm pretty much always available for chat or help... when I can help, that is :)

How old are you? I am the age you assumed I am.
What do you like to read? The same as I write.
What, if you had to pick one, would be your favourite book? If I could pick a series I would choose Warriors by Erin Hunter but if not, I would probably choose Eragon because Warriors is way too wide a series to choose.
Socks, or not? I don't get that, no offence.
Cold or hot? I don't really get that either.
Blue or green? Both.
Do you find bubblewrap to be epic in every way? I don't know what you're talking about.
Where do you get your books from, and how often do you read? I get most my books from the library but if not, I can say very truthfully that I can't walk into a bookshop without coming out with a book (unless I can't buy it when my mum doesn't let me:() Talking about how often I read, I try to read as often as possible when I'm not on the comp.
That is all. If you need anything, and don't already dislike me, feel free to let me know. I'm pretty much always available for chat or help... when I can help, that is :)
Thank you for the friendly greeting.
Hi!!! Welcome to YWO. I hope you love it here.
What are your favourite books? Least favourite? My favourite books are so many I can't name them.
How many pets do you have? I have three pets. A cat called Fluffy (the cat I have on my profile is not her), and two goldfish called Angel and Goldie.
What is the name of the main character in your most recent short story? I'm writing a novel and my three main characters are called Twilight (NOT from the Twilight series!), Moonlight and Starlight, who live in the kingdom of Skylight.:D
That is all. I look forward to reading some of your stuff!
Thank you for the friendly greeting!

No problem.
Sorry you didn't get my randomness. Not many people do, but you'll get used to it.
One thing. Don't double post. We do have this handy little Multi-quote button that means that you will never ever have to double post again. Everrr.
Here it is :

Hi! :) Welcome to YWO! I hope you enjoy this site as much as I do. (By the way, I love Warriors too :D)

Welcome one and all to the freak show of writers, poets and critiquers.
I hope you have a spleindid time in this world of grammer and spelling.

How ironic.
(I'm just picking on you. I couldn't resist, sorry. :P Please don't take badly.)

Tee-hee! Nice, Majyk. :D It fills me with glee...
Well, howdy there, newbie! It occurred to me that I had absolutely no idea who you were, when you added me, because I sure as heck haven't seen that name before. So I came to check out your intro. And I still don't know anything about you. So we're still on square one.
As I have previously said, welcome to YWO, the place where we eat newbs, much like ManyIdeas just demonstrated. Prepare to be feasted upon.
I think Clarissa might have been asking which of hot or cold do you prefer. And also, bubblewrap is awesomeness in bubbly, wrappy form. Just putting that out there.
Also, on a further note, I am hardly ever here, so I won't dish out the favor offers and showing you around speeches, because I can't actually fulfill them. If I happen to be around and you want your work critiqued, I'll check over it. But if or when you request it, don't expect it anytime soon - I'm at university at the moment, and working my little tush off.
So, I shall simply resign myself to saying:
Welcome. Be kind. Be critical. Be constructive. Read the rules.
That is all.
PS. I just read this over and realized how brusque it sounded. I really am not this serious, I promise. I'm just in assignment mode at the moment. Ask anyone - I'm nothing like serious. Ever.

Majik,I did take it badly and now I will go sulk.
Just kidding.
Anyway, I hope you have a good time and post lots of things, newbie.
