Sarai-san
Give me a rating!! 1-10!!
First: the thread as a whole, 1 being craptastic and 10 being marvelous literary achievement.
second: emotion, 1 being as lame as a damp tissue and 10 being real life relatability
and last: evilness, 1 being kitten and 10 being worse than satan
here are my ratings for your event thread:
Overall: 8
i think the transition from sorrow and anguish to pain and suffering to animosity and vengeance was handled smoothly. the writing's technically sound and each post was successful in building up to the climactic (and tragic) conclusion.
Emotion: 7
the thread was driven by emotion, and every single feeling described added to the depth of the story. my only qualm would be Nova's emergence. i didn't think she was sadistic enough. one would assume that the Guardian of Hate would have reveled in masochistic glee when she found some "play things" in those Imperials, specially after being confined to the state that she was in for so long. it's not that i was disappointed, i guess i just expected something else. no biggie, it's relative. but overall, i loved the emotion in this piece, and i'll try to do it justice when i finally write Q's response.
Evilness: 6
as devious as it is to use the daughter of your enemy to exact revenge on her, the fact that a mentally/emotionally-distraught Verti fell into Nova's lap for it to happen (instead of the fruits of careful, malicious planning) is my basis for knocking points off the "evilness" factor. don't get me wrong, as obnoxious as she is, i know enough of NC history to recognize that Nova is never the one lacking in the "evil" department. i'm sure she's poised to wreak so much havoc now, but in this event she merely took advantage of a situation.
anyway, sorry i didn't respond sooner. it's true that i was upset after the 30k debacle, and frankly i'm a little weary of the next one. not because i'm holding it against Star, i know she's done too much for this guild for me to hold it over her head. i'm just not sure about my availability because i'm flying solo in the office for the rest of the week.
as i was saying, i wasn't mad at you, Sarai. and even though i was upset at Star, i'm over it. i just didn't say anything sooner because i was busy all weekend and i got raped through my pants at work yesterday with last-minute orders.
that, and i guess i wanted y'all to sweat a little.
twisted i know, i'm an a**.
