Rate the person above you!

[Carter]

Well this made it to like 10 pages before and it has been a while, so I figured it could be fun.

This works just like "C&C the person above you" except you rate that person based on how well you think they roleplay on a scale of 1-10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the most brilliant person to ever walk the face of the earth.

DO NOT reply to someone saying "Well, I haven't read much of your stuff, so I can't accurately rate you, so I'll rate the person above you" or something along those lines.

I guess we can start off with me.

I enjoy how you word your sentences and how you word the descriptions of your actions. You also handle dialog well. The flirting between Bekah and Carter was some great stuff. XD

Classic.

Your very actiony and good at showing a characters emotions. The way you do that really helps me to feel a connection and emotion for your characters.

6/10

Your grammar can leave a little to be desired at times, so that's something to watch. That said, you can set up a scene fairly well with the details you provide, so way to go on that.

I really have trouble pricing you because I believe I have read post of yours that is fantastic warrenting 10's yet some of it can be less attractive at a 4. If you could bring up your consistency I would have no problem giving you a higher rank. I love reading your work, as I stated when I CnC'd you a few weeks back.

Edit: I dunno why I put a 4, I meant a 6. >.>

I've been reading your stuff from the saga, and I can say I enjoy it and it has been consistently entertaining. Keep up the good work, lest I frown.

8.5/10

Though grammatical mistakes are noticeable in some of your work, generally, I really love reading your work. Piper herself is... intriguing, because there's times when I love her and times when I hate her, y'know? It's weird.

[Victoria]

As of lately, I'd have to say 9/10

To be honest, I found Juno an annoying character during Kill Town. It seemed as if you inserted yourself into situations and made him a little one-dimensional. Lately, though, your skill has seemed to improve.

Your writing really reminds me of something I'd read in a novel. The structure is really good, although I think I caught a run on sentence once xD. Either way, you do detail well, and you narrate pretty well too. Your intro to the saga was excellent, I read it straight through (I love heated moments like those). Keep up with that sort of skill level, and I think that you getting rid of your NPC was a good move. The more depth you give your character the better, focus on him, and show us what makes him tick.

Either way, I definetly look forward to writing with you as Cyric (it's hard to with Vic, as she's so involved with so many things).

9/10

When I wasn't so behind on your writing I was enjoying it thoroughly. You flesh out your story and weave everything so I can follow everything and anything going on in the world you set up for Victoria. *thumbs up*

You know I dig Vad as a character and, although I don't really know her that well, I'm starting to like Bekah too (although she's a raging closet whore, if you ask me). As I've told you before, I think you're at your best in action. Sometimes your non-action scenes tend to be dry, and seem to be rushed. For instance, if Vad is having an intense emotional scene with his mistress, it is not uncommon for the description and depth to be rushed in such a way that the reader does not feel the same amount of emotion as I know you felt when you wrote it. But that comes with time, I'm certainly no master of emotional descriptiveness, not the happy emotions at least.

Also, sometimes in battle scenes, as well as other, more generic scenes, I think your mind is peddling faster than your fingers. By that I mean there are gaps in the action that I can't always follow so easily, but I know what you mean (because I've read so much of your work). Other people might not. My suggestion would be just to slow down a little bit.

More importantly, you have a better grasp on who your character is than anyone else on this site, hands down, no questions asked. You're extremely creative and, unlike myself, character interaction and character development with other PCs is one of your strong points. Your structure is improving, as is your vocabulary and grammar. The more i read, the higher your average 'score' out of ten goes. A year ago I might have said a 7, now it's a 7.5, keep this up and you'll be writing 9's and 10's in no time. You're an example of perseverance and improvement.

Keep it up guy.

Gah, Alex beat me to Vad. EDIT:

9/10

Alex, you're awesome. I personally love the realism and level of detail you put into stuff, and and it's that gritty reality that keeps bringing me back to your work. You've been consistent with your skill, and that's something I admire. Good job, man.

[Jesper]

8/10

For the same reasons Vic stated, really. You've made sizable improvements in pretty much every area since your Joker days on AD, and that's an admirable feat. So good job, and I'll have a Ryo post for you tomorrow. xD

[Piper Juunanagou]

9/10

You're an awesome writer. I haven't read as much of your stuff as Jayd (go ahead...just try and sue me, my best friend is a pseudo-lawyer), but you've been a great writer consistently over the last several years, whether you've been Sophia, Spider-Man, Zidane, or some other character whose name I has forgotten. The very short amount of Jayd work I've read (mostly stuff for the saga) has been interesting and has succeeded in nearly making me read your other work (I'll be honest--I'm lazy, it's not that I'm not impressed).

All I can say is keep up the good work. Unless you have some sort of insane breakdown, I'm certain I'll continue to enjoy your writing whenever I get the chance/garner the motivation to read it =)

[Sigfried Hunin]

RWIGHT, I figgah I might a' swell put in me two cents!

I'd say bout 8/10, but 9s an 10s are for proper, wellpaid writer folks.
I like your style, boy. You do interesting character plots, and you write with intrigue and class not well known for fanfic writing. You look beyond mindless violence and get to some real heart touchin' issues.

You do tend to let your characters stagnate, however. I feel like your characters don't really progress, rather simply hanging in the same "awkward learning zone" for quite some time. I'm glad that you progressed Piper's career along, and I enjoyed that bit, and more "pregress" and "regress" would be awesome.

The permanent changes you made to her physique is likable and interesting. You should delve into that change.

8/10

I think you do a really good job of giving your narration a voice -it's extremely consistent with how you portray Sigfried. Your writing really engages the reader. I think your first post on Jus' Cause in particular was phenomenal. Also, the general quality of your writing is superb.

Since I know you can take it, I'm going to give you some criticisms:

I wish you would wait a bit before you do some of your reveals. Be a tease! The aforementioned first post of JC awesomely left the reader guessing as to whether or not Sig actually could turn into a hawk (yes, we could meta by reading your roster, but that's no fun). I was really looking forward to being hinted at by the shapechange for a while, but it seemed like the very next post you were, like, "Welp, Sig turned into a cat. Meow!"

Same thing happened with the ominous guy in glasses. I feel like you should have let the reader wonder for a little bit longer about whether or not he was a total paranoid delusion or an actual threat. Because you do the reveals so fast, the story can get swept along too quickly. Slow down!

Another suggestion I have is to have fun with more of the shapechages! You've had some really clever ones, but the reader doesn't really get to explore the feeling of Sigfried as an animal. For instance, you used the experience of the hawk in the first post to reflect Sigfried's emotions; that was awesome. I know you're a bit cramped because you're in the saga, but that doesn't mean you can't explore a little character. He is, after all, just a college student - a lot of this stuff has to be terrifying, even if he's always been paranoid about it happening.

Welp *brushes off hands* there's my two cents.

P.S. The roommate's girlfriend sounds like an awesome person. :-P
