we hope that a rescue comes soon.

Is that a challenge?

Let's go reviewers! You all are doing absolutely marvelous this review day - I have to say I might be cheering for Team Racoons ... but good luck to all in these final hours!

Dear ReviewBuddy,

Greetings and Salutations old friend! I wanted to send you a missive about the upcoming Review Proceedings. It is very important that the Green Room is cleared, let us join forces to that vital mission. If you have any battle strategies, please send them to my office and a squire will forward them onward.

Also you should be receiving your invitation to the Knight Fall Courtyard Picnic any day now, but please do remember our agreement regarding castle cake. I hope to see you there.

Well wishes,
- The Commander

This raccoon is EXCITED~!

There are lots of ways to get involved with Review Month so be sure to take a look at the information thread to see what opportunities are out there, and subscribe so you don't miss any of the important info.

We also have a RevMo Club you can join to keep up with all the latest and greatest info.

My personal #ReviewGoals this year are to encourage reviewing and reviewers alike, track down my friend @KotGRCommander, see us crush the sitewide goal of 750 reviews, and also to give at least 3 Review / Reviewer Shoutouts during the month!

I CAN'T WAIT!

This is interesting to see! But a little sad that #reviewstats are so low this year. <.<

Do you think we can get that "average number of reviews" up to 700 by the end of the year? #SiteReviewGoals It'd take everyone's help!

What are your personal #ReviewGoals ? And what keeps you motivated to review?

Liminality My personal review goal? An crazy one that works for me but it's to get my total review count to 770 by the end of this year. What's motivating me to review right now is that I want to get enough works reviewed so people all stop talking about how there are no reviews and start talking about tangerines. How sweet and delicious they are. Where they grow. (No seriously, I love tangerines and have no idea how they are made - what?)

-- Lim, after drinking too much coffee
Aug 14, 2022

lliyah @Liminality I've seen you planting seeds about tangerine discussion around the site; a worthy cause! & excellent goals!

My goals under spoiler ~

Spoiler! :

My review goal is to get ahead of @IcyFlame again & also to get a dark cyan username by any means necessary whether that be bribery, stealing, or begging, whoops, I mean reviewing. I also want to catch up on reading a lot of the recent poetry that I've been meaning to. Another motivation I have is that I only have 70 GR reviews left to go for my KotGR unicorn (and I have literally been working on getting that unicorn since 2018 and have been in KotGR since 2014 so this is a long time working...) - so that's my "by the end of the year stretch goal" but seems a little unlikely at the rate of poems getting posted in the lit center (everyone post more poems for me please!) Hopefully 70 more poems get posted by the end of the year @_@!

Aug 14, 2022

IcyFlame I would like another star! It should be doable by the end of the year but as I'm taking a break rn I want to keep it realistic.

Spoiler! :

@lliyah I'm ready

Aug 18, 2022

Liminality Good luck with those goals you two!

For July's Tortoise Race @vampricone6783 completed a third month in a row and a special shoutout to @HarryHardy who concluded the longest Team Tortoise Streak on Record finishing out their Tortoise reign with 22 consecutive months nearly two years. Congratulations Harry, your reviewing contributions are always impressive! This buddy is proud of you!

Hip Hip Hooray!

Also Christmas in July might have just passed, but my favorite holiday is right around the corner, can anyone guess what it is? <.<

Let's wish a happy cake day to one YWS's most prolific reviewers and tortoises, @HarryHardy! Hip Hip Hooray! Harry and vampricone6783 were the only ones to finish up Team Tortoise in May - but it looks like we have 13 Reviewers on the race for The Great Tortoise Race this June! Good luck reviewers you've got this!

Happy Reviewing!

Holysocks Oh man, I didn't realize HarryHardy was so close to taking Snoinks' crown on the all time leaderboard o-o

Last month we had the conclusion of Last Reviewer Standing and it was worth it to cheer on all the participants. It was exciting and full of excitement right to the end! *giggles*

Last month you all wrote a total of 477 reviews, which is more than you wrote in March and February. Even those who didn't participate in the LRS, thank you for all the reviews!

And now for Team Tortoise. This month we only have one who made it all the way to the end, @HarryHardy! But also a big shout out to those who didn't make it in this month! @ForeverYoung299 was part of Team Tortoise for nine months and @vampricone6783 for seven months! Not many can say that about themselves.

Unfortunately not everyone made it to the end, but that's not a bad thing! You can start over every month and join Team Tortoise. All you have to do is write a tiny review, every day from the first of the month until the end!

IcyFlame Congrats everyone, what an achievement!
May 1, 2022

lliyah Forever and Vampricone you should definitely be proud of keeping those streaks going on so long. That is an incredible impact on the site. Well done both of you! And go Harry go! When you reach a two year tortoise mark I guess we'll have to make a new badge for you xD
