Welcome to the Newbie Welcome Wagon!
*Star* Sponsored by "Newbie Help And Support Group"  *Star*

Image created by the talented iKïyå§ama . Thank you! *Heart*


A special, heart-felt thank you goes out to WhoMe??? for the dazzling ribbon that graces our page. Thank you!! *Heart*


Do you enjoy reviewing new members in order to welcome them to Writing.Com? Well, you've come to the right place!


Our Mission


The Newbie Welcome Wagon is a forum designed to encourage and support those who review newbies. There is no group to join and you can affiliate your reviews to any group of your choosing. Of course, "Newbie Help And Support Group"  would be more than happy to welcome new members, but joining the group is not necessary in order to participate in this activity.


What do we ask of you?


*Bullet* Find a new member who has been on the site for less than six months and review their work! (In order to be fair, we will be checking the date of their membership)

*Bullet* Use the following tag line at the top of your review:

{center} {b} {font:arial} {e:balloonR} Welcome to WDC from {item:1814944}!  {e:balloonR} {/b}{/center}{/font}

Which will show up like so:

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "The Newbie Welcome Wagon" !  *BalloonR*


*Bullet* Post your review links here in the forum in {review:#######} format. If you aren't sure how to do that, check out: "How to Post in a Forum & Post Links" 


What do you get out of it?


What, you mean there's something more than the great sense of community spirit you get from welcoming new members to our second home? *Wink*

Well, of course! Anyone who knows me, knows I like to give things away. *Laugh*

Each review will earn you review credits of at least 100 GPs which will increase your review standing and earn you community recognition. Also, depending on the type and frequency of your reviews, you also have a chance to win Merit Badges, Review Packages, GPs, Gift Certificates, and more!


How the extra goodies will be decided upon...


You will receive one point for each newbie review that you complete. Just as a reminder, we are looking for helpful and positive reviews. The reviews will be checked before the points are awarded. This is just to insure that no one is just reviewing for the sake of earning points without giving thought to the review.

Each review should be at least 500 characters (without writingML)

Prizes will be determined by the amount of points. Each point is equal to 1k GPs, so the awards will vary according to the amount you earn throughout the month. You must earn at least 15 points in order to qualify for extra prizes.

These prizes will be distributed as follows:


15 Points *Right* Merit Badge

For May, the merit badge you will be working for is:

Merit Badge in Reading [Click For More Info] Thank you, Joy, for reading Mara McBain's Club Justice and writing a review of it in WdC's Product reviews section and in two other sites on the net.
Reading



Each additional point beyond the first 15 will qualify you to choose from some of the following prizes:

1 point = Raffle tickets
5 points = Gift certificate
10 points = 5k in GPs
15 points = Short Shower from "Showering Acts of Joy Group " 

*NoteR* Also, if you are already a member of a group who rewards their members with GP credit for reviews, you can affiliate your review with them and use our tag line and receive credit from both places! If you are not a member of any group, consider checking out the following groups who support and help newbies:
