what is this?
I'll review your stuff.
And other people will review your stuff.
This is basically a pyramid scheme for reviewing. Welcome.
why is this?
My "to read" list is basically half of the WW at this point, and the only reason it isn't the entire WW is because I haven't been refreshing the front page enough.
Reading is really important and a good thing for a healthy writing community, both because being read helps authors improve, and because reading helps authors improve. Reading is also really hard when there are a million other things you could be doing. This is aimed towards helping people read more in the Workshop, which is something I always wish I was doing more than I currently am.
how is this?
There are two options: start a war, or join a war.
Starting a war looks like this:
who: this is a tracker for who is involved in said war.
what: what is everyone agreeing to do?
when: when is everyone agreeing to be done by?
wager: what is everyone getting if they complete the what/when? -- basically, ask for something you want. If you fulfill the what/when from above, what will your prize be? bear in mind that you'll be giving the prize out to any other victors of your war, so if I wager a review on 150k words of my fic, I'll have to read 150k words of any other winner's fics
Or, if filled in:
who: kintsugi
what: I will review three (3) fics (other examples could be: I will post my Awards judging / I will write 1000 words of reviews / I will review the newest chapters of [fic] / I will review a story I haven't read before / seriously the sky is the limit here)
when: September 15, 11:59:59 PM GMT-5
wager: I will review a chapter of a story of your choosing!
Joining a war is simple
There's no penalty for losing a war, but please
Kicking off the thread with the sample above/extending the invite I made in BMG Discord today:
word war one: the war to end all wars
who: kintsugi
what: I will review three (3) fics
when: September 15, 11:59:59 PM GMT-5
wager: I will review a chapter of a story of your choosing!
