[Well, "since when" is a good question; there's heavy debate regarding this holiday amongst prominent YWS Historians, with no collective being any predominant view. Thus, for the sake of diplomacy (and the character restriction on titles), I've left it up to you to decide!]

That's right, folks. It's that time of year again! Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and it's snowing in the Midwest!

"What does all this mean?" you ask. Well, let me tell you: here at the YWS, we have an unstable and sporadic tradition of what we like to call the YWS Review Weekend. Simply put, we ask all the YWS users to commit to a wild, crazy weekend of ten or more (10+) reviews! Think of all the poor, lonely poems and stories out there just waiting for someone like you to come and show them some love--and now, with the offer I'm about to make you, how can you, in good conscience, turn them down?

You can't! As an added reward for your participation, the number of points allotted per review has been increased from 50 to 70 points! Now, I can imagine some of you sitting there, scoffing, thinking to yourselves, "What folly that is! You'll devalue the YWS Point and tank our economy!" But fear not, friends, more points in your pocket mean you can spend more points around the site; thus, in fact, bolstering our economy (which is in no danger of collapsing anyway due to top-notch leadership, I admit).

So what are YOU waiting for? Sign up today!

Sounds great really.

A good chance for all those cobwebbed poems and stories to see the light of a review.

:]

I'll for sure try. It's harder when you don't read much poetry.

*Sigh*

I was gone all day saturday for a science competition, my sister had a b-day party on sunday, and I also had a few hours worth of church.

Plus the time change made me lose an hour.

So I had no comp time, and therefore no reviews.
