Young Writers Society

This coming Sunday, February 27th, YWS will be hosting a Reviewing Sunday! Last month's Reviewing Sunday was a huge success for YWS with a whopping 692 reviews (in just 24 hours!), so because you all were fantastic that day, we won't make the goal 693. Not this month, that is. ;D We'll aim for... how about 350? 350 reviews on February 2011's Reviewing Sunday!

So what is a Reviewing Sunday? On the last Sunday of every month, YWS holds a reviewing day. This means:

• No new literary works can be submitted (you can wait 24 hours!)
• The Featured Works block on the front page is changed to a Last 5 Reviews block
• You can earn up to 100 points per review instead of the normal 50
• A check-in thread in the Lounge for letting everyone know how many reviews you've done

Now, because the Earth is round and it tends to spin, not everyone has Sunday at the same time. So we're going to go by Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and declare 12:01 am GMT to 11:59 pm GMT as the YWS Reviewing Sunday. Some international times for that are below:

United Kingdom: 12:01 am (Sunday) to 11:59 pm (Sunday)

United States & Canada
Atlantic: 8:01 pm (Saturday) to 7:59 pm (Sunday)
Eastern: 7:01 pm (Saturday) to 6:59 pm (Sunday)
Central: 6:01 pm (Saturday) to 5:59 pm (Sunday)
Western: 5:01 pm (Saturday) to 4:59 pm (Sunday)
Pacific: 4:01 pm (Saturday) to 3:49 pm (Sunday)

New Zealand: 1:01 pm (Sunday) to 12:59 pm (Monday)

Australia
Eastern: 11:01 am (Sunday) to 10:59 am (Monday)
Central: 10:31 am (Sunday) to 10:29 am (Monday)
Western: 9:01 am (Sunday) to 8:59 am (Monday)

India: 5:31 (am) Sunday to 5:29 am (Monday)

But the "items with 1 review" and "items with 0 reviews" lists are so long!

Maybe I'll get my four waiting reviews read and done that day! That'll be my goal, at least.

Oh, good, I was gone for last review day, so this time I plan to do at least five.

20 ah, aha, ha big goals XD that number will most probably halve itself while I'm not looking

I saw the thing on the homepage and i was like "REVIEW DAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!" *spasm* so yeah, definatley gonna be there!

Maybe you should pick a date instead of a day as on Sundays my wifi is shut down meaning I can't take part at any time D:
I know you'll miss me. X3

I'm going to aim for about four, maybe five.

As many close as I can to 500.

Seconding.

I'll see what I can do tonight/tomorrow. Kinda busy at present.

I can easily put down 10 reviews in that time.
However, I don't see the logic in not posting anything during these 24 hours.

It's so the number of reviews each literary work receives goes up. The main point of these Review Days is to get the works:reviews ratio as high as we can make it. Allowing new works to be posted would probably cause it to go down.

Oh, ok. Thanks.

Where was I the last Reviewing sunday? I hope I can attened. My weekends are so busy. I hope I get some reviews also, I just wish I could return the favor, I don't think I can come back at 5:01 like I'd like to.
