This coming Sunday, 30th January, YWS will be hosting a Reviewing Sunday! The record to beat is 572 reviews, made June 27th 2010, but I have a feeling that this Sunday is going to be our best yet! So instead of the usual goal of 500, let's make it say... 573?

So what is a Reviewing Sunday? On the last Sunday of every month, YWS holds a reviewing day. This means:

• 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 100 points per review instead of the normal 50
• A check-in thread in the Lounge for letting everyone know how many reviews you've done

Now, because the Earth is round and it tends to spin, not everyone has Sunday at the same 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: 12:01 am (Sunday) to 11:59 pm (Sunday)

United States & Canada
Atlantic: 8:01 pm (Saturday) to 7:59 pm (Sunday)
Eastern: 7:01 pm (Saturday) to 6:59 pm (Sunday)
Central: 6:01 pm (Saturday) to 5:59 pm (Sunday)
Western: 5:01 pm (Saturday) to 4:59 pm (Sunday)
Pacific: 4:01 pm (Saturday) to 3:49 pm (Sunday)

New Zealand: 1:01 pm (Sunday) to 12:59 pm (Monday)

Australia
Eastern: 11:01 am (Sunday) to 10:59 am (Monday)
Central: 10:31 am (Sunday) to 10:29 am (Monday)
Western: 9:01 am (Sunday) to 8:59 am (Monday)

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

I can't wait. I'm going to actually try to contribute this time.

xD Agree. I saw it and literally shouted "Holy chiz that's awesome!" (My mom thinks I'm insane, but whatever.)

I'll be here for a bit of it this Sunday. Let's see what I can get done. *rubs hands*

My goal is to do at least one review for each literary forum. Lyrics = much fear.

I will definitely be participating! I am hoping to get to 700!

I'm gonna try. Surely something will come out after all this pent up stress for the weekend.

I won't be around for it most likely. Even If I am, with how long I spend on a single review, I would add 2, maybe 3 to the grand total.

Every little counts! If every active member on the site posted just one or two reviews each, we'd easily make the target!

I gotta make reviews! By the way, Kitty15 has one of the most epic avatars! xD I love it!

*rolls up sleeve*

guess who's going to have her first blue star...
