Event Time: April 28, 2013 GMT. See international times below. Please note, it's Summer Time, so the time for BST differs to GMT.

It's the fourth Review Day of 2013! So, the question is...

are you ready to review?


Wait, What's a Review Day?

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, April 28 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 April 28 and goes until the following midnight. To make things confusing, daylight savings time is in effect for most of us! So for those in the UK, the celebration starts at 1 am.

To help with getting times right, a countdown clock is up on the front page.

YEEAAAAAH.
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.
