Right now, tens of stories and poems all over the board are going without reviews. They often face each day with no access to the sort of amenities other stories and poems take so often for granted.

But for only ten reviews this weekend, you can make a difference in the lives of these forgotten stories. You can bring light and joy to the page of a story or poem that was left on the wayside.

So please, sign up now by becoming a sponsor for a forum during this weekend. As a sponsor, you will feel the joy of knowing that you helped a story who thought that he was alone in this world.

So get out and review those pieces with only two, one, or zero reviews! Get out and read and know that you made a difference.


:P

Some quick details... if you want to sponsor a forum this weekend, just reply here with the name of the forum. Doubling, tripling, quintupling, etc. up is allowed.

If you don't choose to sponsor a forum, that's okay too. Just reply here if you're planning to review ten pieces from a motley of forums.

The goal by Monday is for no story or poem to have just one, or zero reviews!

I like it. Don't know if I'll have time to post ten reviews, but I'll see what I can do in the fantasy section.

Haha, great idea! :D I'll sponsor the "Other Poetry" forum. I need to start reviewing again.

Okay I'll try to do ten reviews from the poetry forums. And possibly Lyrics. Maybe I should wait to start until I wake up a little though. I mean, it's not even noon yet! :P

If you can't review ten, just do what you can. I'm going to shoot for five a day starting today; back during my TYWC days, I would do 20 on some days.

And if everyone who participates can do this, keep track of how many reviews you make and post your total on Monday!

I'm working on science fiction and other fiction. I'll probably do a little bit from all the fiction categories, but no poems. I stink at reviewing poems.

I'll stick to fiction. I was working on a fantasy review yesterday at some ungodly hour. I think I'll go finish it.

I'm pretty busy this weekend, but I'll just try to critique whatever I get my hands on that's missing a review. A little fiction, lots of poetry.

I'll do historical fiction (Jess' Bound for Glory), Fantasy (DD's C of W&D), and some other stuff, prolly mostly in poetry and then maybe some in other fiction or romantic fiction or historical fiction. But def the specific works I mentioned.

Okay, I don't care if this is advertising lol-would someone mind doing a crit on at least the second part of my story Inscription of Love? I updated it two days ago and have gotten a marvelous crit from DD, but I'd like as much feedback as possible. This story is so important to me and I have a deadline of Nov. that I need to submit the final copy to a magazine called THEMA. I'm not trying to grovel for crits, but just some feedback.

And to make up for it, I'll crit a whoooole lot this weekend for people. :D
