[Well, "since when" is a good question; there's heavy debate regarding this holiday amongst prominent YWS Historians, with no collective being any predominant view. Thus, for the sake of diplomacy (and the character restriction on titles), I've left it up to you to decide!]

That's right, folks. It's that time of year again! Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and it's snowing in the Midwest!

"What does all this mean?" you ask. Well, let me tell you: here at the YWS, we have an unstable and sporadic tradition of what we like to call the YWS Review Weekend. Simply put, we ask all the YWS users to commit to a wild, crazy weekend of ten or more (10+) reviews! Think of all the poor, lonely poems and stories out there just waiting for someone like you to come and show them some love--and now, with the offer I'm about to make you, how can you, in good conscience, turn them down?

You can't! As an added reward for your participation, the number of points allotted per review has been increased from 50 to 70 points! Now, I can imagine some of you sitting there, scoffing, thinking to yourselves, "What folly that is! You'll devalue the YWS Point and tank our economy!" But fear not, friends, more points in your pocket mean you can spend more points around the site; thus, in fact, bolstering our economy (which is in no danger of collapsing anyway due to top-notch leadership, I admit).

So what are YOU waiting for? Sign up today!

Spot-on. Kansas weather sucks.

Sounds good to me, assuming I'm not lazy this weekend.

Well you can all thank me later. I accept payment in the form of cash, first-born, and statue-like things made of pasta. I'm easy like a Sunday.

There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

Same here. Looks fun though! 10 isn't that much, but count me in!

I'll try. Depends on how long I can have the computer for and if I can focus enough to review stuff.

I'll certainly try, but most of my weekend is going to be taken up by having to work. :|

What, that I have to work? Tell that to the lame brain who scheduled me to work from 3:30-8 tomorrow and 1-5:30 on Sunday. :| Add on to the fact that I get to deal with seeing a cousin I haven't seen in person in about...maybe nine years who thinks I don't like him and just...

...yeah, shutting up now.

I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
— Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
