The After Watch

Hannah · 2014-06-26T02:01:28Z

If you're a Review Day veteran, you know the feeling. We've cleared out the Green Room earlier in the day, which means that until the Review Day ends, no new works will enter and our hard work will remain visible. But then. The clock rolls over. And the new works start trickling in. At first it's just one poem, and the stragglers from Review Day easily put it to sleep. But then we start going to bed ourselves, or off to work, and when we return there are five more short stories and novel chapters to take its place. We soon get discouraged and neglect the Green Room, which means it fills to nearly bursting and around mid-month we're almost guaranteed to see a High Volume Warning across the top of our screen. But we... we are the ones who can stop the cycle. http://i.imgur.com/2ffC4xK.png The After Watch The mission is clear. Keep your eyes on the Green Room after review day, and don't let it fall. Success will be recorded in this thread in terms of hours after review day the Green Room did not rise above 15 works . Are you up to the challenge? How long can you keep the horizon clear? Pledge your allegiance if this cause fits with your values, and spread the mark of your Order with each review you bestow after Review Day comes to a close: This review courtesy of http://i.imgur.com/NHJIut2.png [center][b]This review courtesy of[/b] [url=http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/viewforum.php?f=417][img]http://i.imgur.com/NHJIut2.png[/img][/url][/center]

I... did it? For the first time this year, I actually worked up the courage to write a review. And the funny thing is that I even enjoyed it. I haven't enjoyed writing a review in... forever, really. It's so odd! Anyway, here is the link: work/Cglefley/Destruction-Prologue-136342?c=623118#c623118 . I have finally contributed to the After Watch, after so long!

@PrincessInk, I haven't seen the number of works rise above fifteen yet, so I believe we're still battling the Green Room, yeah!

EDIT: Actually, disregard that. I only saw the seven in "there are 7 works with 0 reviews"; I forgot to add in the "there are 10 works with 1 review" at the time. So that means our battle for the post-review day work surge is done. I'm still happy I borke my non-reviewing streak!

But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Is it possible I could get the After Watch badge? I've contributed some After Watch Green Room reviews.

CALLING ALL KNIGHTS!

Tell thy comrades in green that the Afterwatch is hereby officially on! Let us make haste into the fray of the Green Room and keep it clear of less than 15 works far beyond Review Day and into the next month! All ye who ally with me and pledge your fealty here to the Afterwatch (and contribute at least one review to the cause) shall receive The Afterwatch badge!

CLAMOR ON, KNIGHTS!

I am a forest fire and an ocean, and I will burn you just as much
as I will drown everything you have inside.

I'm pretty sure I've used the After Watch banner before but never actually declared my allegiance. I would like to formally swear fealty to the Watch.

I have no idea if I've pledged already or not, but I pledge now!

Uh oh! We had it down to three or four literary works earlier, but it's slowly climbing again.
