We tried something similar on the original RL forum, but I've adapted a bit for this one.

Basically, each day, someone will post a story from the Reviews Lounge archive that they think is worthy of more reviews. Everyone is encouraged to then review the story, and discuss it here if they wish. However, off-topic conversations don't count, and will be deleted by a mod. We're hoping this will run for the summer months at least, while people (hopefully) have more time to read & review -- it only takes five minutes, and I'm sure the author will appreciate it a lot.

Turtle's coming back today. :D

Awesome. :D

Today's story is Empty Chairs and Empty Tables, by Just a Supergirl. It only needs four reviews to graduate.

Summary: Astoria never did like her sister.

Great choice, Cubie!! ^^

:D Reviewed.

I have a question, with the story, can it be about any HP carachter, are there any requirements, like ratings to be aware of?

Also reviewed - this was refreshing!

The story of the day has to be from The Reviews Lounge Archive. That's the only requirement. But, uh, why exactly do you need to know, Dejsha?

Well, if in any of the rounds (if this has another turn and or if I have a day in this one) I know what kinda story to put up. Also for when I review.

I reviewed today's story, it was a beautiful piece of writing!.

That's great, guys!!

The story can now graduate - keep reviewing, though! ^^

Oh, these sign-ups are for all the rounds. The only time we'll need someone else to pick a story is when someone is covering for someone else.

Hey, Turtle is on a cell phone and just told me that she wants to claim the Friday spot, so I'm going to go ahead and put her name in.

Reviewed "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables." That is a wonderful story!

T.T

This is late. (Is horrible chore-addicted person.)

Today's story is: Roses for Rose.

I didn't review Empty Chairs and Empty Tables yesterday (I already had earlier), but I just read and reviewed Roses for Rose. The grammar needs a little cleaning up, but I really like the concept-- it's definitely worth a look!

I've already reviewed this one, but I like the choice. Although I agree with -EHWIES about the grammar, the concept is very original! Good choice!

I reviewed Roses for Rose, beautiful piece of writing.

Holy crap, I almost cried. And I don't even read next-gen.

Today's story is Melodrama, written by our very own Bonnie ^^

I reviewed Melodrama by Bonni. Beautiful Piece. I loved it.

Read, reviewed, and adored Melodrama.

Another really good choice - I really enjoyed this one!

:) SCV! You picked a really, really good piece. :D

Why is it the ones I hate the most are the ones that get the appreciation? ^^ Thanks though! =D

Covering for Katy today, since she's away this week!

Today's story is Beautiful Boy, by Kitty East.

I already reviewed this one a few weeks back, but I highly recommend it--it's fabulous.

Agreed, it's sweet and brilliant! So read it.

Kitty East is a great author...

I reviewed Beautiful Boy by Kitty East. Another Beautiful piece.

Reviewed. :)

Reviewed too.

Double posted too.

Just posting a day early because I have to work tomorrow night...

A New Kind of Terror, by Elledreamer.

AU. The war was lost, and now the terror has begun... Written for the 'What If' Challenge on HPFC

It needs 9 reviews.

Reviewed A New Kind of Terror, and Kitty East's story. Both were great.

I read and reviewed this a while ago and am disappointed that it has not get made the magic 20 reviews. It should have 50.

A different style and format make this very readable. Even if it is not something your normally read, or are put off by the length you owe it to yourself to give it a try. It is one of those stories that you will remember. Not cute, not fluffy, not a piece of whimsy...

A New Kind of Terror

Today's story:

Five_Things_That_Never_Happened_to_Fabian_Prewett by Lucie - or Lux

Take a look, even if you don't normally read First Order stories. This one gives a real feel of the atmosphere of fear they were living underr, and the characterisations of Fabian and Gideon and the cameos of better-known characters are spot-on.

Read and reviewed (:

Okay... because no one is jumping in to do this.... Eleven Years Later because it is close and I have not read it.

Edit of Edit... okay, so I did read it, but didn't finish it because it is not completed... so I guess read at your own risk.

Someone else really needs to keep this Story of the Day going, its a good idea... just beyond me.

Okay then, today's story is Sunspots. It needs 9 reviews.

Today's story is And_the_battleflags_were_furld by silverbirch.

Neville and Hannah after the war. Bleak, but with a note of hope, and beautifully written. Needs 7 reviews.

Tuesday's Story: Sketchbook Drawing by painted.inkblot. Enjoy!

Am I allowed to make a suggestion? *peers around nervously* Oookay, I'm going to do it. Shine On by Jay Marthow rocks. So it be recommended. By me.

I went and reviewed all of the ones I hadn't reviewed since my last posting; some great stuff, really.

Tuesday's Story: Dearest Friends.

If I may make a recommendation... make me yours. It's multi-chaptered, but the chapters are short (less than 1000 words each--the whole story is only 7000 words).

I'll make one for today - I had to work on Monday, which is why I missed it. :(

You look mighty like that Muggle - it's three chapters long, but it's one of those stories that just draws you in until you can't stop reading. And, it only needs 4 more reviews.

Resurrecting this thread again!

Because_of_You by Sandshrew 777

31 chapters which isn't as daunting as it sounds as they are all oneshots based on lines from Kelly Clarkson's "Because of you". You can read each chapter independently. (I have yet to read them all myself, but they are well worth a look.)

Tuesday's Story of the Day. And the battleflags were furl'd.

It only needs one more review, but I truly think that this piece should be read by everyone. It's a take on Neville after the war that I never anticipated.

All right, so I figure we need a nice, lighthearted story to look at. Therefore: The Trials and Tribulations of a Hogwarts Squid. So far, one intro and six chapters. :) Enjoy!
