Reviewers' Spotlight Archive III

This archive displays all works that have been featured on the site’s front page as part of the Reviewers’ Spotlight, which acknowledges the time and effort spent by reviewers helping authors develop and edit their works for the mainsite.

Each month, community members are encouraged to nominate reviewers from the mainsite forums, official Discord, and IRC chatrooms who have been both particularly helpful and active. Members of the staff Critique Team will then discuss the nominations, and select four prominent reviewers to choose the month’s Reviewers’ Spotlight front-page features.

Nominations and recommendations should be sent via wikidot message to Zyn (team captain of the Critique Team).
