Usually about a week in advance. As for writing a couple articles ahead of time, that's totally up to you really. In the off chance that your article was to never get used, you could always just post it here in the forums anyway.

See the Search box at the top of the page? That will search the entire site, including the Weeklies section, to let you know if it's been officially reviewed anywhere. So keep that in mind for future potential review material. But to answer your question, nope, that one hasn't been reviewed yet.

ps the review she had been working on is for a movie so maybe that'd be the category if you decide its ok to accept a review from her.

Well, I'd recommend she have an account of her own unless she wants the review to list you as the writer, because all the reviews link back to the person's individual forum account name.

Companies looking for writers always like to see people who simply enjoy the craft and do it for free as a hobby (can't tell you how many employers I've seen that often want to check out a person's blog & social networking crap), so while it's true that being a staff writer is worth more to an employer, being a volunteer writer never hurts either.
