Young Writers Society

Event Time: March 31, 2013 GMT. See international times below. Please note, Summer Time kicks off on Sunday, so the time for BST differs to GMT.

Can you believe it's almost time for the third Review Day of the year? Where is all of our time going? Of course, the real question we should be asking is...



Wait, What's a Review Day?

Oh, right. Silly me! How can you be ready to review if you don't know what it is?

A Review Day is a period of 24 hours where everyone on YWS tries to write as many reviews as they can. During this time, no new works can be submitted.

Each Review Day, we have an overall goal that we try to reach. This month we're going for 650 reviews! That's an awful lot and it's very ambitious, but can we do it? Of course we can! But we need YOU to help us.

Even if you only have time to write one review, please do join us! If six hundred and fifty people each write a review, then we'll have six hundred and fifty reviews!

And my favourite part of review day is the Review Teams! Just before review day starts, you'll be able to join one of the four review teams to battle it out for awesomeness. Together with your team-mates, you will elect a leader and choose a name for you and your allies! Then you will battle against the other review teams to be named the YWS champions of the month!

When does it happen?

Due to things like orbital rotation, March 31 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 March 31 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.

Wait! BST is coming this... Sunday... so

WE GET 25 HOURS OF REVIEW DAY. YES. (Kind of. Don't they change the clocks at two AM here?)

We're actually going to do this on Easter?

I'll try my best. :}

Fixed it xD And shhhhh, I fail at timezones. This was like the ultimate challenge of working out timezones with half the world changing to summer time!

Ohh Review Day.

Apart from freaking out about the fact it's already the end of March, I'm ready :3

My first review day ever! Ya!

YESSSS my first review day . It's even cooler that's it on my dad's birthday :O

Good luck to all! Given that it's Spring Break and Easter, just have fun with this Review Day. If we reach the goal, awesome! If we don't, ah well!

Ahh the greens lost!.
