Young Writers Society

What is a Review Team?

Beginning May 1, 2011, the Young Writers Society will be having review competitions. These competitions last for one month. Those who wish to join in the competition are randomly divided up into four teams. Anyone can join at any point in the month.

The four teams compete with one another on the basis of points. You may earn points by greeting new members in the Welcome forum, helping out others in the Writing Tips forum, or (most commonly) by reviewing literary works. Since the teams compete based on points rather than reviews, a team that writes 15 quality reviews will easily beat a team that writes 100 clumsy reviews.

How does it work?

During the course of the competition, all participants will see a counter in the top left hand corner of the page showing the number of points earned by each team. Additionally, each team has it's own club and team captain. Your team captain is in charge of coming up with a name, team spirit, and anything else (such as a flag or motto).

I think Jagged's pic pretty much sums it all up.

Yes! I'm so excited for this.

YESSSSS

I was confused, though--I don't remember clicking "join" before I was added to a group, and when I clicked the link to take me to my group, it led me to the group for spoons.

...it took me a little while to figure things out.

And so it has begun...the Hogwartsification of YWS.

I knew this day would come.

I bags being Peeves, all you haters goin' get got. (My Peeves is gangsta)

So that's how you found it. XD

For Intimidation Purposes:

It's not too late to join the fun!

Quick question. If someone posts a literary work, does that effect his or her team points negatively?

Nope.
