I have a suggestion. There should be a way to help your friends out. Like, say if you do a review and you post a link to it on someone else's topic then they can take the length of that review off of what they need for their next review.
So if I did a review that was 300 character long and I posted it on your topic, then your next review would have to be a minimum length of 700 characters instead of the normal 1000. Then the next week it would return to a minimum length of 1000 characters, even if you didn't take advantage of my help.
That way you can either just help a friend, or (if you did a review of 1000 characters) completely take care of their RAE for them for that week. Or, if they've already taken care of their RAE, you can make it feel fabulous.
I think that would be a lot of fun. It would make the RAE project feel more like a team effort.
