Did you miss me?

They say you can't miss what you've never had, but I beg to differ - they've never met me. Ba dum dum tssch.
After that egotistical opener, hello to you all! I'm Rei, I was referred here by an acquaintance from NaNoWriMo, and my competitive nature flipped when I saw a point system for reviews. So chances are I'll be here to try it out for a spell.
Who am I, then? My name is Rei and I write fantasy. My favorite book is A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Nozeki, my favorite fanfiction is My Immortal, my favorite TV series is Madoka Magica, and my favorite word is pentimento.
I'm quite the social creature on the internets, so long as I'm lacking in spare time, so please do say hi!

Hey Rei! Welcome to the site! C:

Hello there @reikann ! Welcome to YWS, and I hope you enjoy your time here. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'm sure we'd love to help you out.

Thanks, guys! I'm happy to be here.

Welcome to the site! It's awesome to see that you're already reviewing so much!

Thanks! I can't wait to earn more stars. That shiny status symbol just sparkles so bright... does anyone know how many reviews each level takes?

25 is when you get your second star, and here's the thread where you can see what it'll take to go further! Best wishes in your reviewing endeavours!

Ah, thank you! That's exactly what I had been looking for!

Yay

Welcome to YWS, that place where you'll meet some weird personalities, but you'll love them anyway.

Also, since you're new and you're reviewing like a madman, I suppose you're in the stage that I call the "Newbie's Review High." It's when a new member goes super ham on the reviews at first. But when the new member is past the high period, they start to review less and less or worse, if they are unfortunate enough, they stop reviewing.

It's just a small warning. Not necessarily the worst thing ever, but this is worth knowing.

Anyways, just keep going ham on those reviews, and I'll see you again in the future.

I suspect you're quite right. It takes me a relatively long time to finish a review because I do like having something constructive and in-depth to say, so getting out the 10 last night took four hours. That's not a pattern that will hold, especially once summer vacation family visits kick in, but for now, I'll be content to earn a second star.
Thanks, and nice to meet you!

Welcome to YWS @reikann I agree with outvaders on what he said about reviewing. I barely review nowadays. But I hope you have as much fun here as we do.

I haven't found enough time to review lately either, but during July I'll be (hopefully) participating in Team Tortoise, where you write one review a day for one month!

Welcome to YWS!
