About Us

add_a_ya was created to provide a source for young authors to find other young authors (roughly 13-19 of age). The best muse comes from others of like minds when you're in a war with writer's block, or when you're simply looking for the right word to etch. All writers from nonfiction to fantasy are welcomed.

Please understand that this is NOT a community to display your work for the sole purpose of getting critique or read. It's a friend-add community for writers.

* Please make use of the LJ Tags available. It'll help potential readers/writers find your entry based on the tags you choose.

Rules

(1) Please do not blatantly advertise your communities. Exceptions would be writing communities, however they must be confined to a simple link [no pictures please] in your self-advertisement.

(2) Be courteous - if you're going to display your work in your self-advertisement, put it behind a lj-cut or supply a weblink to it if it's long.

Remember, this is not a community to have your work critiqued. There are other very lovely communities for that.

Violaters will be given two chances via PM, and a ban will then be enforced without warning.

Possible Introduction

I know a lot of people don't like talking about themselves and therefore do not know where to start, so here is a possible introduction form to fill out to make it easier.


<b>Name</b>: <br /><br /><b>Age</b>: <br /><br /><b>Location</b>: <br /><br /><b>About Me</b>:<br /><br /><b>About My Journal</b>: <br /><br /><b>What I Write</b>:<br /><br /><b>What I Don't Write</b>: <br /><br /><b>What I Read</b>: <br /><br /><b>What I Don't Read</b>: <br /><br /><b>Could I Edit Someone Else's Work</b>: <br /></textbox<br /><br />

Please note: you do NOT have to use this form. You may introduce yourself whatever way you prefer.
