Young Writers Society

Contest is my name and reviewing is my game. I'm here to propose a reviewing contest, in order to boost morale. As stated above, the name of this contest is R.E.D. which is short for Review Every Day. It's a nice goal, right?

The idea is to attempt to write one review a day, getting into the habit of reading and giving constructive criticism every day. Of course, clearing the Green Room and gaining stars is also an added bonus. There is an official penalty if you miss a certain amount of reviews.

After five days without any reviews, then you have to donate x amount of points to this account for every day missed. For every increment of five missed, the penalty is doubled. (Thank you, @SpiritedWolfe for that suggestion.) Of course, if you have another obligation such as a camp or a family event, then the self penalty doesn't need to apply.

For example: if you failed to do a review, you might set a penalty of 50 points. Every day you didn't review, you'd donate 50 points to this account. After a while it'd build up and then you'd actually have to review in order to donate.

At the end of the contest, all of the points in this account will be divided out amongst the three winners.

First place, with the most reviews, will get 50 percent of all the points in this account, along with three reviews from myself and whoever wishes to volunteer.

Second place, with the second most reviews, will get 30 percent of all of the the points in this account, along with two reviews from myself and whoever else wishes to wishes to volunteer.

Third place, with the third most reviews, will get 20 percent of all the points in this account, along with one review from myself.

You can join whenever, since there is no cut off date. However, be warned, the later you join the harder it is to catch up with the rest of the group. The contest starts on February 1st and ends on June 30th.

To join, reply to this thread and put in a spoiler the list of your reviews for this contest. Idealy, every time you review, you should add a slot and put a link to the review.
