Knight Hannah, I, Knight Patronus, shall fight alongside you! Technically, I shan't, seeing as I'm Team Rocket and you're Team Aqua...
But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
— Paul the Apostle

It is with great regret that I slide my sword into my sheath and curse the limited internet of a caravan site. I am without my tools and as such will be unable to participate in review day but I shall do my best to holler encouragement from my place on the sidelines of the battlefield.

I wish you all the best of luck!

What about setting up different people to take care of different things, or like a game plan for how to tackle longer works, like story chapters.

If we had a set way to work on story chapters and short stories, then we could easily get through more of them quicker.

For instance, if we all agreed to tag with a quick synopsis of a chapter or what we know of a story in this thread, then we could go into a work knowing what to expect.

tagged for what do you think?

Just now looks at @Aley's comment and agrees.
Because I'm just that lazy, of course.

But still, I'm a bit confused. Just because we go into a work knowing what to expect doesn't mean we review much... faster. But I might... only might.... be wrong, so if I am, ignore me.

Last time, we just let the works build up to about ten, and everyone reviewing was, I think, tired and sick of reviewing after a week.

To fix that, we just need to save some of our people to review later in the month.

Kind of as if we were running cross country and started sprinting in the very beginning. We need to pace ourselves... kind of.

"What about setting up different people to take care of different things,"
I like. I like a lot.

Also, I think it would be potentially easier if we just kept the green room conquered, or at one or two. I think the problem came last month when it was at eight, then ten, and people felt like it was too daunting of a task to do. Keeping it conquered a)motivates us all, and b) makes it easier to review things that crop up.

And about the pacing ourselves thing- we could always put two or three people on duty for a few hours and let them take care of the green room before switching them out with new people. But I don't know, that sounds like it would take too much time and effort, not counting the insanely regulated thing.

What do you suggest?

EDIT: Alright, Review Day is officially over. Six works left in the Green Room... Let's do this.
