~ #reviewershoutouts for our final revmo victors

And the two reviewers walking away with the option of having victory gold or dark cyan for two weeks are @RandomTalks and @HarryHardy! Both of these reviewers managed to complete over 50 reviews over the course of RevMo and even each completed Team Tortoise and every Checklist Challenge on top of the color challenge. That's pretty impressive. Wowza!

Congratulations @RandomTalks and @HarryHardy, and many thanks for your reviewing contributions this month! Your hard work is appreciated!

Special Shoutout Alert!! #ReviewerShoutouts

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS is in order for these 4 reviewers who managed to do 30+ reviews during the month and stayed on Team Tortoise for the entire month of September amidst all the reviewing activities! That takes some real dedication. These users get to boast a color beyond compare for the next weeks, some might even call it the ultimate color ... that's right ! DARK CYAN

Congratulations Turtles Tortoises! @Plume @RandomTalks @LadyBug @HarryHardy THANK YOU for your hard work this month!

We have four reviewers rocking the pink power with 20+ reviews! That's a lot of reviewing & feedback for the site over the course of the month!

Well done reviewers! @Horisun @Liminality @lliyah @vampricone6783

We've got some #ReviewerShoutouts

These two splendid reviewers finished off in the marvelous and mighty maroon squad with 10+ reviews!

Thanks for your hard work this month! @Seirre & @Spearmint

Some Well-Deserved #ReviewerShoutouts

Wonderful work to our beautifully blue Dodger Blue Crew who did at least 5 reviews over the course of the month! You each earned a high five and get to rock these cool chill username colors for the next 3 days!

Yahoo you did it! @Valkyria @Omni @MaybeAndrew @Mageheart @ImaginaryPoet @FireEyes

We reached our 450 Review Level just in time! With 50 YWSers participating in #RevMo this year and 458 reviews being posted!

This year there were many fun contests to challenge our skills and with LMS starting up there were plenty of new works to check out! We even saw the return of a mini Review Day weekend and a new event the Comment Bonanza.

Just because RevMo is over doesn't mean the reviewing fun has to stop though - let's keep encouraging one another and keep the conversation going! <3 Thank you to every person who contributed to making the month such a success!

With #RevMo finishing up let's take a moment to reflect!

What was your favorite part of Review Month?
Have any lit works you loved reviewing, or reviews that helped you out?
How'd you do on your #ReviewGoals this year?

Don't forget to vote over in the Banner Contest and finish up your entries for the Checklist Challenge! And thank you all for participating! At the time of this post we are just one review away from filling up that Review Month Banner at the top of the screen with 449 Total Reviews written this month! Still a few hours before we get to our final count though, so if you're just a few reviews shy of your goal or want to review another work, you likely still have time to jump in.

(Oh! And if you happened to do 5 Green Room Reviews during RevMo -> please log them over in the KotGR Challenge to help @KotGRCommander clear the sludge from the castle grounds!! Just 5 Green Room Reviews clears up one bucket of sludge! Huzzah!)

Only one full day of #RevMo left! Thank you to all our fabulous participants - good luck in getting those final reviews in; there's still time to do a review this month if you haven't had a chance quite yet. Good luck! <3

Nine Days Left of RevMo!

^^ This fish swam by to say "GREAT JOB!"

Congratulations to all those sporting colorful usernames in this last week - including @HarryHardy @LadyBug @RandomTalks on the delightful Medium Sea Green Team! @Plume rocking the Pink Power!! @Horisun @Liminality @Seirre @lliyah @vampricone6783 maintaining the Mighty Maroon Squad and @FireEyes @ImaginaryPoet @Mageheart @Spearmint @Valkyria @Omni hanging out on the Dodger Blue Crew!

Special shoutout to @Plume @HarryHardy @LadyBug & @RandomTalks who have been maintaining their Team Tortoise Streaks too!

If you haven't reached your #ReviewGoals quite yet there's no better time than during our REVIEW DAY! That's right! Review Day is back! Be sure to sign up HERE before the deadline if you'd like to participate on a team. It'll run Sept 23-Sept 25 and is going to be so much fun! More fun ways to participate in RevMo in this post.

September Review Day

Hello hello!

On 23rd September - 25th September, we'll be having a Review Day. If you've not heard of those before, it's basically an event where YWSers compete to write reviews. This Review Day will be a bit different from ones prior:

1. You'll need to sign up for teams via a thread in The Lounge, and your team planning, hype and chatting will all occur via Lounge threads.
2. Progress will be logged in terms of number of reviews, not by points!

Note that if you don't make the deadline to sign up for a team, or if you prefer to participate individually, that also works!

More Information Here!

WOAH! We just hit 300 Reviews! Well done everyone! We still have quite a bit to go to get to 750 but with Review Day right around the corner maybe we can pull together and accomplish it! All hands on deck!

Other Review Opportunities to Check-Out:

* Challenge yourself to review outside of your usual box by participating in the Checklist Challenge. Prizes start at just 10 challenges so it's very do-able even if you're just starting!

* Community Hashtags! Hop into the community discussion with a series of #RevMo hashtags -> so far we've got #LookingToReview #ReviewRequests #ReviewShoutout #ReviewGoals #ReviewReDo #MyFavReviewStyle and more to come!

* Want to hone your reviewing skills to be the best they can be? Check out @MailicedeNamedy's Review Training Camp for some great questions and challenges to dig a little deeper into your critique process.

* Join A KotGR Mission? @KotGRCommander is looking for brave knights and citizens to participate in clearing the sludge! All you need to do to help out is complete 5 Green Room Reviews and log them in this thread! Special Badge, Honor, and Glory for those who assist.

* Art break anyone? Hop over to the Banner Contest to spread a little cheer with your RevMo review banner idea!

* And lastly our Color Challenge is still going on! If you do just 5 Reviews you can catch a beautiful temporary username color! The next deadline is September 21!

On Wednesdays Thursdays we wear pink.



Congratulations to the pink squad -> @RandomTalks, @LadyBug, & @HarryHardy with 20+ reviews! Also congrats to @Liminality @Plume @lliyah @Seirre @Horisun & @vampricone6783 who are rocking the Maroon! And to @ImaginaryPoet who joined the dodger blue crew!

Remember there's still plenty of time to participate in the RevMo activities, hashtags, and contests and there may even be a ~special event~ coming up to celebrate that we are half-way through RevMo! Watch the Review Month thread for more information on how to participate.

Reviewing is part of what makes the YWS world go round, so if you have ever posted a literary work on the site please do your part and join on in - how great would it be if every active member did at least 5 reviews? We might even be able to clear the Green Room! Let's try it! Extra cheers to those still in Team Tortoise and those balancing LMS along with RevMo!

half way through revmo, half a month to go!
