What is a Review Day?
On certain weekends, we review as many works as possible with the aim of helping clear out the Green Room! During this 24 hour period, no new works can be added, so we can focus on reviewing.
On this particular Review Day, we're hoping to find the Golden Goose, discoverable only once the Green Room is completely empty! Not only is the elusive Golden Goose badge up for grabs, but we're also offering three different badges for participating in this event:
thank you to AlexWrites for designing these badges!
But Wait, There's More! Review Teams!
In addition, you can optionally choose to participate in a team. There's two of them this month, and you sign up by clicking the red "Join a review team" button on the front page (available a couple days before Review Day begins). The teams compete based on how many collective points they earn. This means that the winning team is not necessarily the team with the most reviews! This Review Day will feature the showdown of the chicken vs the egg in their race to see who can reach the Golden Goose first!
Quality > Quantity
Always remember, it's better to write one good review than to write four low-quality reviews. Not only will you earn more points, but you'll be more helpful as well!
Spam/AI Makes Goslings Cry
Please remember, do not write any spam reviews as they do not help the author and can even count negatively towards your team's point count! And yes, using AI to write your review makes it a spam review. More information about this can be found here: How to Avoid Review Spam.
