Event Time: June 30, 2013 GMT. See international times below. Please note, it's Summer Time, so the time for the UK differs by one hour from GMT.


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 750 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 everyone did just one review, we'd easily meet the goal.


Review Teams

To make things a little more interesting, members can join one of two Review Teams. You'll be able to join one beginning about 72 hours before Review Day -- just look out for the "Join a Review Team" link at the top of the sidebar on the home page.


When does it happen?

Due to things like orbital rotation, June 30 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 June 30 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 will go up on the front page starting 72 hours prior to the fun.

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'

Hurzah! This shall be a great review day!

^^

Audy vs. Me vs. June! I'll say that a hundred reviews there alone.

Better hope I'm not on your team. But no, really, every review team I've ever been on has been in second place. Fate? I think not.

If we still have the Tsunami Tyrants and the other team,I'm sticking with the tyrants. I'm not that fond of hot sauce.

There will be different teams with different people and different leaders, as it is every month. :P
