RevMo

And with that, our annual RevMo comes to a close! What a crazy and colorful September it was! Congratulation to everyone who got to rock a new role color for September, whether you got to be a tomato or an orchid or a tulip! I hope you guys enjoyed your beautiful colors! I know I was super jealous of that gorgeous orchid color, personally...

With that said, let's take a look at the recap for RevMo 2025!

During the month of September, the members of our community (those participating in RevMo and those who were not) submitted 848 reviews (according to the YWS review statistics)! That's insane!! Congratulations and thank you to everyone who took the time out of their busy lives to submit a review during September. You are all amazing and the reason YWS keeps going.

With that said, it's time to congratulate our week 4 winners... who will wear the beautiful victory gold for the first 2 weeks of October?!

Drumroll please... congratulations to @AlexWrites for completing 50 reviews and @CATSRULETHEWORLD387 for completing 71 reviews this month!

Finally, let's unveil the users who completed Team Tortoise challenge for the month of October!

Drumroll please... congratulations to @Messenger and @CATSRULETHEWORLD387!

I hope you all enjoy these first two weeks of October with your beautiful role colors!

Once again, thank you to everyone for participating in RevMo (whether you realized you were or not LOL). We appreciate each and every one of you!!

Hey RevMo participants! Just letting you know that you have 48 hours to get those reviews done and hit that 50 review mark so you can get that victory color! I will be making all the changes and announcing the winners on Tuesday, sometime in the evening!

The second week of RevMo is officially over! We've still got over 200 works in the Green Room, but we're making progress! 57 users have written at least one review this month, and in total, we've written 401 reviews! That's more than double the amount of reviews from last week!!

In light of that, let's take a look at our updated role colors! First, let's welcome our new tomatos!: @Cheerio @Ravena @Milesperhour133 @Valkyria and @oirichu! These users did up to 10 reviews this month!

And now, for our amazing and new orchids!... these users did up to 25 reviews so far this month... congratulations on getting the best role color to @AlexWrites @CATSRULETHEWORLD387 @Messenger and @thehoplessromantic!! Keep up the amazing work, everyone!

The first week of RevMo is officially over! We've still got over 200 works in the Green Room, but we're making progress! 42 users have written at least one review this month, and in total, we've written 196 reviews!

Speaking of... it's time for our first username color! Major congrats to @Genevieve, @lalalucky, @AlexWrites, @CATSRULETHEWORLD387, @Wolfi, @Messenger, and @Calamity who all wrote 10 or more reviews in the first week and have therefore earned a tomato colored username! You all are awesome!

And finally, we have to give a huge shoutout to these two users who stuck with the challenge, and came out victorious reviewing once every day of September winning Team Tortoise for the month! (Congratulations to the users who made it very close to winning this too - thanks for your dedication!)

These two users have earned the ultimate dark cyan username color for the first 2 weeks of October! Well done to both of these talented reviewers!

Earning the top honors of Review Month is a hard-set challenge, taking massive amounts of dedication and Reviewing! This year two users managed to beat the odds and earn themselves a gorgeous victory gold username color for the first 2 weeks of October! Well done to both of these incredible reviewers! We're thankful to have you as part of this amazing site and thank you for the reviewing you did.

This was the rarest username color of the month - with only candyhearts and Akira managing to earn it during the course of the event! The following users wrote at least 35 reviews during September, earning them this fabulous silver username color for the first 5 days of October! You did wonderfully and deserve this cool username color!

The following users wrote at least 20 reviews during September, earning them this fabulous bronze username color for the first 5 days of October! Woohoo! Well done!

Congrats goes to ~ @KaavyaK @DeadMenTe11N0Tales @chrysanthemumcentury @Cheerio @alliyah @EllieMae @khushi17bansal @SkyVibes

Congratulations to everyone for an absolutely successful and wonderful Review Month! There was so much quality reviewing in September - and believe me, it made a difference! Users had fun tackling challenges like the "In Depth Poetry Review Event," the Checklist Challenge, the Color Challenge, Team Tortoise, and even an end of month Autumn Themed Review Day!

Our sitewide goal for September was 750 reviews, and though we didn't quite make it, we were very close at 710 total reviews for the month! 2 members managed to earn victory gold, 2 managed to finish Team Tortoise, and altogether we had 86 users participating in Review Month by writing at least one review during the month!

Thank you for participating and wonderful job!

We have passed the halfway mark and are now three-fourths of the way through RevMo!! Congratulations and a huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to write at least ONE review this month!! I know life gets busy and it can be hard to find the time to sit down and leave a review, but you all have done that AND MORE and I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have you all here on YWS.

The Green Room is slowly emptying out. Currently, there are 46 works with 0 reviews and 92 works with 1 review. If we could get all of those works from June and July cleared out before September ends then that would be amazing! I know we can do it!

Remember you've got lots of activities to participate in this month like our Checklist Challenge that is ongoing!

Okay, on to the exciting part - this week's #ReviewerShoutouts !

Congratulations once again to everyone who has been working hard during RevMo! Thank you guys again for all of your hard work. And to those who have done only a review or two during the month, even if you aren't participating in RevMo this time or joined late, I wanna say THANK YOU to you as well! Clearing out the Green Room is a group effort and we are all doing such an incredible job. Stay strong, reviewers, the finish line is near! As always, if you are just now seeing this and are curious about RevMo, you can find more details here.

Next Check In: September 30th with 50+ reviews for that EXQUISITE GOLD! I know you guys can do it!!

We are about half-way through this amazing month otherwise known as Review Month! And you know that that means? It's time for another check-in! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has been contributing towards our site-wide challenge! Currently as a site we've written 246 reviews out of the 750 needed to meet our goal! We'll have to pick up the pace a bit if we want to reach that goal, but it's still within reach. Let's do this!

The Green Room continues to get shaved down - now with only 35 works with 0 reviews and 82 works with 1 review - that's better than what we started the month with! Do you think we could tackle those 35 works with 0 reviews by our check in next week? I bet so!

Remember you've got lots of activities to participate in this month like our Checklist Challenge that is ongoing!

Well without further ado, let's give this week's #ReviewerShoutouts !
