Thanks to the help of some diligent reviewing warriors, the Green Room is looking clearer than ever! Can YWSers band together over the holidays to finally clear it out and get writers the feedback they deserve?


Points and badges are up for grabs!


Here are the rules :)

  • Each regular review you write counts for 1 snowflake.
  • Reviews that follow a review challenge count for 5 snowflakes each.
  • Each review can only count for one challenge--no double-dipping!
  • While this challenge is called 12 Days of Reviewing, you do not have to do these all on 12 separate days! Feel free to spread out or cluster your reviews.
  • Badges and points will be awarded based on the amount of snowflakes you've collected! The top three reviewers will get a 'Winner' badge and a point prize, while all others will receive a 'Participant' badge.

To claim your snowflakes, create a spot in this thread! Be sure to mark which reviews complete a challenge to get your deserved amount of snowflakes :) Only reviews done between the dates of December 22 and January 4 will be counted.

At last, here are your challenges!

Text version:

  1. Write a review with two puns about winter
  2. Review a work older than 1 month
  3. Use the words “frozen” and “snowflake” in a review
  4. Review a chapter of a novel--that isn’t Chapter 1!
  5. Review a Green Room work
  6. Use a festive review template

“Are you serious?”
“Completely.”
“You’re telling me that you'll get to sleep on a king-sized bed while we have to share a tiny room with two bunk beds.”
“I want to sleep on top!”
“Tommy, you’re not helping.”
