WYRM

A WYRM reviews other WYRMs' speculative fiction.
From your first full week of membership, you will be expected to turn in an average of one review a week, unless we're on spring break, winter break, or you've made Full Member and choose to go on a five-week "Excursion." Your reviews will need to be of novels on a chapter-by-chapter basis and short stories on a story-by-story basis. You will choose your items to review from the list of WYRM members' items on our members-restricted review board.

A WYRM gets reviews on their speculative fiction from fellow WYRMs.
As a WYRM member, you get to have novel(la/ette)s, short stories, and collections up on our review board. Other WYRMs will then be let loose to review your work on a chapter-by-chapter and story-by-story basis. Access to the review board, like we said, is restricted to WYRM members only.

A Full Member WYRM has the option of going on Excursion.
If you make it through your initial four weeks as a Probationary Member (And you should! You're already a WYRM!), you will gain the magical label of Full Member. We used to give out capes, but no one was getting anything done because they were too busy finding the perfect personal wind. As a Full Member, you can go on Excursion for up to five weeks whenever it befits you. Your item won't receive WYRM reviews, but you won't be required to turn in reviews, either. You'll be free to focus on personal projects of the writing and/or life kind.

Step the First: We need you to lay your reviewing skills out for us. The root purpose of this group is to trade quality, in-depth reviews of our speculative fiction works. Visit "Application Review Forum"  and read through it carefully.

Step the Second: Go ahead and read the "Application Form" , but do not attempt to complete this step until you have done Step the First. Well, of course! you say. Many have screwed this up, we reply.

We usually get back to applicants in a couple of days. We think our record for longest response time was five days? Maybe? If you are not accepted, you will get a friendly email telling you so. If you also checked a certain box in the Application Form (go read it!), you'll get some feedback from us concerning your application review. If you are accepted, you will be added to the group, which will hook you up with a welcome letter containing what you need to get started.

WYRMs are of two membership levels:

Probationary Member   Probationary Member status lasts for four complete weeks, starting from the first Monday after you're accepted. On that Monday, you get to have a speculative fiction novel(la) or selection of short stories of your choosing on our private WYRM review board.

Full Member  Now you're completely WYRMified. You get to edit WYRM pages, as well as choose to go on Excursion. All this power is why you go through the process of Probationary Member status. We'd really like to get to know you before we hand you a keys to the kingdom and all that.
