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?

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*
Live well. Learn lots. Question everything.

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.
