Welcome to the Prize Claim Thread for Review Blitz III! Things are a little different from the last two years, so be sure to take a look at this thread.

This thread is for claiming prizes for Review Blitz. If you:
  • Have questions about specifics for what qualifies for points, etc, please check the Rules and Guidelines Thread and ask any questions you may have there.
  • Want to engage in general chitchat with other community members about Blitz, find some cool fic recs, and so on, check out the General Chat and Hype Thread.
  • Are trying to earn points to spend on prizes, check out the Points & Logging Thread.

This year, you can spend your points at our Prize Shop, staffed by our lovely volunteers! You can spend your points in the following categories:

Shop Rules
  • The Points Shop will be open as soon as Blitz opens [countdown link], and will close exactly one week after Blitz closes. [countdown link]
  • You must specify your prize (i.e. tell your volunteer what you want reviewed or what you want drawn) by March 1, 2022.
  • You can spend your Blitz points as soon as they are logged. Note that once you spend them, they will be deducted from your total (although the Ladder will rank participants by total points earned, not total points in possession.
  • You can only purchase one ‘type’ of prize per level. For example:
    • You can purchase one Level 2 Art Prize and one Level 2 Review Prize
    • You can purchase one Level 2 Art Prize and one Level 1 Art Prize
    • You cannot purchase two Level 2 Art Prizes
  • Please note that you cannot request art or written works that contain sexually explicit content or gore, or that otherwise violate the Forum Guidelines. If you are requesting a review or beta for a work that contains content-specific material, please be aware that not all of our volunteers will be available.

A forum companion is the cute sprite buddy that you see beneath my username. Please be aware that if you request a forum companion, default menu sprites (such as

or

will be used unless another image is provided. If you wish to have a custom forum companion (i.e. palette swaps, hats, etc), please provide a transparent png that is 68 px wide by 56 px tall.
  • 5 points: ONLY if you do not currently have a forum companion (and have no unclaimed forum companions through another event). You may purchase this prize once.
  • 15 points: If you currently have one or more more forum companions (or are eligible for one or more forum companions through a different event). You may purchase this prize once.
  • 30 points: If you have already purchased a forum companion through this year's Review Blitz (either the 5 or 15 point version), you may purchase a second one here. You may purchase this prize once.
  • 60 points: If you have already purchased two forum companions through this year's Review Blitz, you may purchase a third one here. You may purchase this prize once.

In light of this, we're readjusting the prize values for the upper tiers a little (from L1/L2/L3 @ 20/30/60 to 20/40/80) so that we don't overwhelm our volunteers. Deep appreciation for what everyone here is doing, and happy blitzing!
