Event Time: January 27, 2013 GMT. See international times below.

Good news everyone! We're having our first ever 2013 Review Day on January 27. Please contain yourselves as you explode with mind-boggling excitement!

What, pray tell, is a Review Day?

A Review Day is a single 24 hour period where we collectively try to bust out as many reviews as possible. During this time, no new works can be submitted.

Each Review Day, we also have an overall goal. This time around, the goal is... 650 reviews! Can we make it? Of course we can, but we need YOU.

We will also have Review Teams complete with individual clubs. This means that if you choose to, you can join with others as you fight to improve stories, poems, and artwork across YWS.


When does it happen?

Due to things like orbital rotation, January 27 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 January 27 and goes until the following midnight.

To help with getting times right, a countdown clock will go up about 48 hours prior to when the Review Day begins.

Oh no! I'm missing all the fun! Stupid exams. -.-
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.


New to YWS? We'll help you out! <3'

This does definitely ramp up the stakes for the current YWS Cup matches!
