Crikey. Is it time for another Review Day already? Indeed it is!
Event Time: October 27, 2013 GMT. See international times below. As always, stay tuned to the countdown clock when that goes up 72 hours prior to the fun.
In addition, there'll be a Free Literary Work day for the 24 hours prior to the Review Day. When we did this last month, it went very well. However, if you post something, you must review something! This applies to all members: new and old alike. Otherwise, please wait until the following Monday to post something.
Wait, What's a Review Day?
A Review Day is a period of 24 hours where everyone on YWS tries to write as many reviews as they can. During this time, no new works can be submitted.
Each Review Day, we have an overall goal that we try to reach. This month we're going for 550 reviews! Although, this number may change depending on how many works we get on the Free Literary Work Day.
Even if you only have time to write one review, please do join us! If everyone did just one review, we'd easily meet the goal.
Review Teams
To make things a little more interesting, members can join one of two Review Teams. You'll be able to join one beginning about 72 hours before Review Day -- just look out for the "Join a Review Team" link at the top of the sidebar on the home page.
When does it happen?
Due to things like orbital rotation, October 27 doesn't happen at the same time for everyone. So we instead base it off of GMT time.
Review Day thus begins this Sunday at 12:00 am GMT October 27 and goes until the following midnight. To make things confusing, daylight savings time is ending that same day for some of us!
So to help with getting times right, a countdown clock will go up on the front page starting 72 hours prior to the fun.
