I meant to do this WAY earlier, but since it's the last week, I figured let's go big or go home!

Use this thread to discuss your adventures during the Reviewathon. Did you find a gem in the archives you just HAVE to discuss? Were you surprised at how quickly you racked up points? Did you have a heartwarming - or hilarious - response to one of your reviews?

Did the Great Forum Blackout of 2012 screw you over? (Yes yes yes.)

Last week! WE GOT THIS!

Yes, I think it screwed everyone over. :P

Were you surprised at how quickly you racked up points?

I'm not even sure how many points I have racked up, because I haven't been added them up.

...so, when is it officially over then? EDIT: never mind, I went and read your post in the Reviewathon thread. :P

I LOVE the Reviewathon! I think it was a great idea and it really made me feel involved in the community. I'd also never really looked into the archive before and I was impressed with the quality of the stories I found there. Overall I had a super fun time participating and the whole ordeal reminded me of why I like fanfiction, writing, review, and this forum in the first place! So...good work mods! ^_^

Yes, it did. But there was nothing that could have prevented it so we're no blaming the mods. ( :

Well...I haven't added up yet but I've found that the Reviewathon really made me want to continue reviewing.

I'm so glad that this happened! I feel like I've been able to help my fellow authors and receive some excellent reviews myself! Everyone's been so lovely and I'm just glad that I participated. Thanks so much for setting this up, mods! Lovely!

This makes me very happy. =) Honestly, I haven't been able to do much with this because of school and life, and I feel pretty terrible about that. It's rewarding, though, to see that we're making at least a bit of difference, you know?

D'awh. Thank you for sharing!

Unless I'm doing my math really wrong, it would appear that I currently already have 148.5 points, which is well over the minimum for prize level 5. I guess that's good news (for me anyway lol). I was going to do some more panic-mode reviews as the Reviewathon comes to an end...maybe I still will. lol
