The abridged guide to this Julie.

Submitted by Dreamsprite on May 7, 2008 - 23:07.

I guess I've never really introduced myself properly.

Hello YWP.

I've been a member for about 1+ years, and I wish I had more time to converse with you all.

1. Haiyo, although my username is Dreamsprite, my name is Julie.

2. Awkward turtle is my imaginary best friend.

3. YWP makes me feel safe to share things I wouldn't share to other people.

4. I've got a wild imagination.

5. One can often find me in Burlington, reading a novel on a broken bench, or somewhere isolated where I can sing without restrictions or someone shaking their finger behind my back.

6. I'm glad life is difficult, if it were easy, it would be quite dull.

7. I love the people who have courage and charisma to stand up for what they believe, even if I don't believe their views myself.

8. Writing is one my many passions. I often fluctuate between stories, or poetry.

9. Oh, I should add, singing, drawing, swimming, walking with a specific destination, acting, and talking.

10. Seriously, I do eat rice every night. I fit your "stereotypical" asian, but I'm far from typical.

11. When I was 11, I learned how to move my pinky toes individually. O.O

12. I could go on and on, but I'll spare you the wall of text. I enjoy meeting new people!

13. my favorite number.

14. Straightforward, video games and anime do make me bounce up and down.

15. This number represents how old I am (referring to my birth certificate)

The Guide to YWP

Submitted by ParisianTwist on May 4, 2008 - 21:08.

actually, the pessimist's guide to YWP

1: If you're new, please don't post bad poetry. We don't like it. We won't read it.

2: Don't just say you LIKE a piece. say why. We know it's good. Tell us how to make it better.

3: We really don't care what your dog ate last night. At least write a story about it, don't just POST it.

4: Don't talk about anything other than the topic, unless you're in a forum. It makes us regs pissed off.

5: If you have a specific goal for the poem, post it at the top, then we can suggest how to make it fit that.

6: We're really nice people. Please don't tell us we don't know what we're talking about.

7: GG is god. Respect him and at least TRY his suggestions. Generally, they're pretty amazing.

8: Don't have stupid competitions to make more posts. They're just that. Stupid.

9: Lists are always interesting. They introduce us to who you are.

10: We'd love for us all to be ONE BIG family. allow it. only... OUTSIDE YWP. meet in person, (in a public place) call each other, email, IM, whatever, we dont care.. JUST DON'T CLOG OUR FORUMS!

rant over. Please comply. thank you. much love.
