You might have noticed our Green Room is looking a little full lately.
Actually, a lot full. So in the spirit of the giving season, why not give your fellow YWSers the best gift of the season... reviews!

Below are 12 reviewing challenges to complete before the end of the month (Dec. 31)! Simply do them all to earn a very special prize (like a brand new username color?!)

A couple ground rules....
  • To participate, just make a post below with a list 1-12! Each time you complete a challenge, link your review to the corresponding number!
  • While this challenge is called 12 Days of Reviewing, you do not have to do these all on 12 separate days! You can get them all done right off the bat, or wait for a little-- just get them all done before the month ends!
  • You must write a new review for every challenge, so no double dipping!

Without further ado, here are our official 12 Review Challenges!

1. Review a poem in the Green Room.

2. Review a short story in the Green Room.

3. Review a chapter in the Green Room.

4. Write a Green Room review using a festive/seasonal review template! (For inspiration, check out this KB article: Review Templates

5. Write a review for a new member.

6. Write a review using the quote code at least four times!

7. Write a review on a work that's been in the Green Room over a month.

8. Review a Green Room piece that's over 2,000 words.

9. Write a review using the words "snowfall" and "gingerbread."

10. Review a work featuring a non-human protagonist.

11. Review a work related to winter/winter holidays.

12. Do at least 2 reviews on our seasonal review day (Dec. 29)! Bonus points for every additional review you do!


Happy reviewing! If you have any questions, reach out to either Plume or RavenAkuma!

Technically, I only did 3 for this, but I've done 4 reviews since the start of this challenge even though some didn't fit the numbers, and I did 2 in December before the review contest! :D So, that is what I'm most proud of- that I've been able to create sound reviews and at least participate in this incredibly cool, fun challenge even while I've been traveling and doing tons of schoolwork. Thanks so much to @Plume for organizing all of this!!! <333
