Check out the Check in thread

Some of you might remember that on the last Sunday of January, we had a big reviewing day that went really well. So, we're going to be doing it again, and if successful, we'll be doing it the last Sunday of every month.

So what happens during a reviewing day?
  • No new literary works can be submitted (you can wait 24 hours!)
  • The Featured Works block on the front page is changed to a Last 5 Reviews block
  • You can earn up to 200 points per review instead of the normal 100
  • A check-in thread in the Lounge for letting everyone know how many reviews you've done

And to make things a bit more interesting, the top 3 reviewers of the day will receive a copy of the Young Writers Literary Journal. If any of the top 3 already have one, then they'll get a YWS notebook from our emporium.

Now, because the Earth is round and it tends to spin, not everyone has Sunday at the same time (this for some reason confused people last time). So we're going to go by Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and declare 12:01 am GMT to 11:59 pm GMT as the YWS Reviewing Sunday. Some international times for that are below:

United Kingdom: 1:01 am (Sunday) to 12:59 am (Monday)

United States & Canada
Atlantic: 9:01 pm (Saturday) to 8:59 pm (Sunday)
Eastern: 8:01 pm (Saturday) to 7:59 pm (Sunday)
Central: 7:01 pm (Saturday) to 6:59 pm (Sunday)
Western: 6:01 pm (Saturday) to 5:59 pm (Sunday)
Pacific: 5:01 pm (Saturday) to 4:49 pm (Sunday)

New Zealand: 12:01 pm (Sunday) to 11:59 am (Monday)

Australia
Eastern: 10:01 am (Sunday) to 9:59 am (Monday)
Central: 9:31 am (Sunday) to 9:29 am (Monday)
Western: 8:01 am (Sunday) to 7:59 am (Monday)

India: 5:31 (am) Sunday to 5:29 am (Monday)

Well I know what I'm doing tonight! XD

Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

Great! :D, I can have banter with me mates then. I'll have to put me music on loud and review hard, not get distracted by friends on facebook or msn :P. Impossible, they say, we shall, see!

Awesomeness!
It's from 5:30 am for me. Should be good.

Plus, it'll be a great way to get back into reviewing after the gap for my finals. and vacation. :)

This is just the thing I needed to be motivated to review. I'll try and do 25 reviews tonight and after church tomorrow.
