The Green Room has become rather stuffed as of late -- we're currently at 120 works and counting! That's a little too high for comfort.

So this Saturday and Sunday, please help us to bring it down to something reasonable. Say, about 30 works total? It'll be tough without a Review Day to help us out, but I think we can pull it off.

Are you up for it? Will you help to tame the Green Room this weekend?

@Flite, if we don't post by tomorrow, then this is the perfect venue for what we both would owe. :P

I will try and help. :P I have to go to my grandparent's house during the weekend. *sets up reviewing weapons*
Want to talk about your project? Head on over to the Writers Corner! If you have a question about writing, then head on over to Research! Is your question not big enough to warrant its own thread? Ask away in Little Details!

Unless last-minute plans crush my reviewing fingers, or an alien steals the reviewing part of my brain, I'm in! :D

I haven't reviewed much in a while so this is an excellent reason to start reviewing again *fires up engine and steampowers towards Green Room*

It begins! The goal by the end of this weekend is to get the Green Room to below 30 works.

When reviewing, please keep in mind: hehe!

- Be helpful! Writing a quick review helps no one. Read the work in its entirety, and then spend about 10 - 15 minutes on your review.

- Be explanatory. It's good to start with something you liked, and to end with something you liked. In the middle, spend time on what you didn't like (always be sure to explain why!).

- Be honest. Empty praise is just that: empty. If you thought the poem was cliche, or the story lacked interesting characters, then say so.

- Be encouraging. Every person here is an amateur, and we're here to help one another improve our writing.
