I don’t really do reviews anymore. I’m just sort of a roleplay help blog. For one, you should really check on your spelling and grammar. And I’m not going to lie but I’ve seen these kind of plots around a lot so no real points on originality there. I have to admit, it sounds a little intriguing but that’s it. But as for the title of the blog: I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

I love the bios’ format but you’ve got to work on elaborating the facts and their personalities in order for the roleplayer to get a firm picture of how to portray the character. :)

GUYS. It’s so perfect omg.

Someone with amazing grammar and admin skills should make one now.

And I wanna play Kim.

I know this is completely unprofessional of me but I’m a sucker for fairytale roleplays. So yeah…

• Anyway… The theme has this underlying dark tone and I have to say, I like it. The graphics - I assume - aren’t yours but they’re quite fitting so I might turn a blind eye on that particular subject.
• The plot’s… cool. I like it. Well, it’s definitely not the most original storyline that ever graced the roleplay world or anything like that but as a fellow fanatic of Peter Pan and the works of Lewis Carroll, I think it’s actually rather… cute. I have no other word to put it. It’s like 3 AM, give me a break. And I love how there’s different houses for the cards and all. I think this could actually work. The plot’s still a little messy but a job well done, all in all.
• One thing about secrets in bios? You shouldn’t put them in bios. It would spoil the fun! Instead of placing them smack into the bios where EVERYONE can see, why not try keeping the character’s secret to yourself until you’ve found an appropriate roleplayer to portray the character? Then you could give out the character’s secret. But only to the roleplayer who’s portraying him of course. That would be much more “mysterious”. But I really liked how you humanized The Crocodile! Truth be told, I was fanning myself while mumbling under my breath about how cool that was. AND THE FACT THAT YOU ACTUALLY MADE LINKS FOR THE CHARACTERS MENTIONED IN THE BIOS. In all my years of roleplaying, I’ve never seen anyone do that and I thought it was quite frustrating. THANK YOU. Thank you. And um. You also could elaborate the bios a little further. They’re nicely written. It’s just the length you have to watch out for. :) Moving on… The. Faceclaims. Are. Perfect. I mean… They’re flawless people on their own but as these characters… they’re just… PERFECT. My vocabulary for the word ‘perfect’ is receding. I like it. I really, really like it. AND I WANT PETER PAN ALL TO MYSELF.
• On the whole, this roleplay earns a 6.5 out of 10! :D

Just a thought I had last night:

I love popular roleplays with lots of members.  I think those can be fun to join because they’re usually active and always have new members coming to replace anyone who leaves.  The only thing that bothers me is that these roleplays come at the expense of leaving people out.  It’s one thing when you’re a roleplay that is small and clique-ish because this sucks but is understandable.  If you have a few people in your rp who have been in the group for awhile you tend to form relationships and, as much as it bothers me, I understand.  What is more annoying is the super-popular roleplays that leave out new people and here’s why:

1. New people who join these roleplays join because they’re active and then have to deal with the rejection of not getting talked to
2. Oftentimes these new players post open paras, gif paras, and even make ooc posts asking to plot but no one responds because they already have a best friend, boyfriend, and enemy in the roleplay
3. These new people leave without telling anyone because no one noticed them so why should it matter.
4. But here is what really annoys me:  The admin and the roleplayers than bitch about people deactivating and leaving without telling anyone.  I’m sorry for my language but you fucking ignored them when they were in the roleplay and you’re pissed, now that they left?  This is ridiculous because you made them feel like shit and then you get mad because they left.  Well you ignored them, what did you expect?

Sorry I’ve been seeing this a lot, lately, and it bothers me because I try to talk to everyone but if I’m the only character doing this than they’ll still deactivate without telling anyone.

So as some of you may know, Scott Pilgrim is like one of my favourite movies slash comic books of all time and I was just thinking of developing a roleplay around the subspace world. Like dwelling on their memories and stuff. I don’t know. I’ll sort out the details later but this sounds cool enough.

I might use this. Idk.
