June 30, 2013 Review Day: 750 Reviews of Summer

Nate · 2013-06-23T04:09:55Z

http://youngwriterssociety.com/Nate/750reviewsofsummer1.jpg Event Time: June 30, 2013 GMT. See international times below. Please note, it's Summer Time, so the time for the UK differs by one hour from GMT. Wait, What's a Review Day? A Review Day is a period of 24 hours where everyone on YWS tries to write as many reviews as they can. During this time, no new works can be submitted. Each Review Day, we have an overall goal that we try to reach. This month we're going for 750 reviews! That's an awful lot and it's very ambitious, but can we do it? Of course we can! But we need YOU to help us. Even if you only have time to write one review, please do join us! If everyone did just one review, we'd easily meet the goal. Review Teams To make things a little more interesting, members can join one of two Review Teams. You'll be able to join one beginning about 72 hours before Review Day -- just look out for the "Join a Review Team" link at the top of the sidebar on the home page. When does it happen? Due to things like orbital rotation, June 30 doesn't happen at the same time for everyone. So we instead base it off of GMT time. Review Day thus begins this Sunday at 12:00 am GMT June 30 and goes until the following midnight. To make things confusing, daylight savings time is in effect for most of us! So for those in the UK, the celebration starts at 1 am. To help with getting times right, a countdown clock will go up on the front page starting 72 hours prior to the fun.

No can do =[ Sunday's are long and exhausting days for me.

Although I guess I could log on and cheer you guys along in the later hours. I might think up some atrocious poetries to shower you with when you hit nonspecific benchmarks.

And maybe with a bit of peer pressure I might review...

Why does Review Day always land on a day when I have so much other stuff to do?!

I'm taking this theater class over the summer and I have to go see a play and June 30th is the only day I can go see it. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze some reviews in the morning and after I get back from the play.

Noelle is the name, reviewing and writing cliffhangers is the game.

Writer of fantasy, action/adventure, and magic. Huzzah!

Just a reminder: the madness begins later today when the Review Teams start forming!

Last month's Review Teams did really well with one getting the most points and the other getting the most reviews. Do them proud!
