Quick question;

I haven't had a chance to really look thru the nominated stories and start reading yet, and just glancing thru the first few pages today, I noticed that for reviews all of them had "N/A" so far which made me curious. I probably just have not looked at enough of them yet and this is most likely a silly question, but I was wondering; can the reviews for the nominated stories be seen by other people who are logged in before awards end?

Hi Cactuskim,

*Some* reviews can be seen before the end of the awards, but not all of
them, and not yet.

Final reviews will begin to be visible sometime in July - I think it's
right about the time the categories and subcategories are set in stone,
though I can't remember when the exact date is. Hopefully another
volunteer with better memory than mine can be more precise on that
front. At that point, you won't be able to edit your final reviews. So
you want to only use Final status for reviews you're really satisfied with.

Hidden reviews stay (as their name suggests!) hidden until the end of
the awards, but at the end of the awards those reviews will be displayed
to all members. Whatever you have entered at the end of the awards,
that's what will be counted for scoring purposes.

Draft reviews are never displayed and never counted. They're a good way
to keep track of notes as you're reading, but be careful with this
because if you write an actual review as "draft" and forget to change it
over to hidden or final, it won't be counted.

So yeah, to answer your question, some reviews will be displayed while
the awards are going on. They aren't yet, though. When they become
visible you will see links when you log in to read all of the available
reviews.

HTH,

Marta
