July 25 (GMT) is a Reviewing Sunday

On YWS' last Reviewing Sunday, there were 537 reviews made in 24 hours (572 if you count Art/Photo). That was a site record, so the question is: can we beat it? Last time around, everyone had only a few hours notice. This time around, a week's notice. Will that make a difference? We shall see... By the way, if you want to see the damage from last time, go here: http://www.writerfeed.com/topic66037.html So what is a Reviewing Sunday? On the last Sunday of every month, YWS holds a reviewing day. This means: No new literary works can be submitted (you can wait 24 hours!) The Featured Works block on the front page is changed to a Last 5 Reviews block You can earn up to 100 points per review instead of the normal 50 A check-in thread in the Lounge for letting everyone know how many reviews you've done Also, the winner of the day as judged by the number of characters typed (not just the number of reviews) will receive a complimentary copy of the Young Writers Literary Journal. Now, because the Earth is round and it tends to spin, not everyone has Sunday at the same time. So we're going to go by Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and declare 12:01 am GMT to 11:59 pm GMT as the YWS Reviewing Sunday. Some international times for that are below: United Kingdom : 1:01 am (Sunday) to 12:59 am (Monday) United States & Canada Atlantic: 9:01 pm (Saturday) to 8:59 pm (Sunday) Eastern: 8:01 pm (Saturday) to 7:59 pm (Sunday) Central: 7:01 pm (Saturday) to 6:59 pm (Sunday) Western: 6:01 pm (Saturday) to 5:59 pm (Sunday) Pacific: 5:01 pm (Saturday) to 4:49 pm (Sunday) New Zealand: 12:01 pm (Sunday) to 11:59 am (Monday) Australia Eastern: 10:01 am (Sunday) to 9:59 am (Monday) Central: 9:31 am (Sunday) to 9:29 am (Monday) Western: 8:01 am (Sunday) to 7:59 am (Monday) India: 5:31 (am) Sunday to 5:29 am (Monday)
