Big Brother wrote:Hi everyone, with all the fun reviewing events happening right now this is a important message from your moderator team:
Do not use AI writing tools to generate the majority of your review. While these tools can be fun to experiment with for your own work and can even aid writers as a tool in generating creating prompts and ideas, representing these types of AI generated writing as your own is unfair to other reviewers and unfair to the authors who are hoping for human (or maybe goose?) feedback.
As a writing website, YWS exists to promote creative writing and the sharing of writing feedback between writers, representing AI generated writing as your own undermines those things, so it is important that we take this issue seriously. AI writing can be hard to spot, so we are relying on you as fellow writers and community members to act with honesty in representing your work and your reviews.
If a user is found to be using AI reviews those will be treated as both spam and plagiarism, the review may be removed along with the points earned from them, and the user may be banned from the site. Please reach out to a moderator if you have any questions or suspect that you have received an AI generated review.
Good luck reviewing this month, YWS!

reviews! rewards! geese! :]
Hey, you! Yes, you! c: Have you done a Green Room review today? If so, make sure to log it so you can claim some awesome badges and doodles!
1. If you're in a team, add your review to the total count! Team Maple Team Lily (If you haven't joined a team yet, go sign up in this thread! ^^)
2. If you write 5 Green Room reviews between June 1 and August 1, you can complete the Following the Feathers Challenge and claim a badge and green hat avvie!
3. If you do 10 GR reviews, you can log them at the KotGR Main Challenge thread and claim a badge and custom drawing from me! =D I can draw flowers, buildings, and occasionally characters~
4. You don't need to do GR reviews for this next one! Any reviews count towards the Review A Week Challenge. The rewards are a badge and a goose doodle from alliyah (who makes some pretty mean bird doodles)!
5. If we, as a site, manage to clear the Green Room by August 1, we'll celebrate with a super fun social week and free works for 3 days! If you haven't done a GR review yet, why not pull out your sword/spear/pen/weapon of choice and get to fighting those green beasts?
Last thing: check out the Summer Review Events forum for more info and cool things, like a tagbook! Happy reviewing!! =D

i think there are 31 days in May >.> but yes, fabulous things are starting the day after tomorrow!! =DDalliyah wrote:Quick reminder that we have two amazing Summer Reviewing Opportunities starting tomorrow (June 1)!
The Great Tortoise Race begins tomorrow where you are encouraged to write 1 review every day of the month, and if you do so, you even get an awesome badge and join the Team Tortoise Victors Roster.
We also are beginning our Search for the Golden Goose | Clear the Green Room Challenge that runs until August 1. If we are victorious in clearing the Green Room this summer we'll unlock a Social Week and 3 days of free lit work posting! I don't think the Green Room has been cleared for several years, and will certainly take all hands on deck to accomplish - but with some of the all star reviewers I think we may be able to pull it off! Also if you'd like to join a Team to make that challenge even more fun, you can sign up Right Here.
It's going to be an awesome Summer!

#StoryShoutout
(I can't remember if that's the right hashtag? Gosh, I haven't done this in a while. But anyways-)
I'd like to shout out @Ventomology's novel Gal Paladins!
At first glance, it seems like these fourteen magical girls have done it; they've defeated the big bad evil. But something isn't quite right, and our protagonist Lily notes that the battle seemed... too cliché. To make things worse, her sense of smell in the real world starts to go wacky. (Note that magic has a smell in this world, which is epic!)
Will Lily figure things out, even as she deals with navigating school and its too-strong smells and meeting a suspiciously familiar girl? Also, will Lily eat a peanut butter and raisin sandwich? (The answer to the second one is yes, yes she will.)
Overall, this is a super fun, unique story, and you should def check out chapter 1! :]
Ventomology Ahhhh thank you!!!
