ONE THING YOU LOVE / ONE THING TO WORK ON.

Tell people one thing you love about them and one thing you think they should work on.
One and one only! Keep it balanced, and tag around!
Obviously, participation is optional. Be nice, people. This is supposed to be constructive.

You--! Are a lovely, lovely person OOC and you just smash any social awkwardness out of the water. I don't even know how to say it, lol, but you're amazing to talk to and plot with and just so comfortable to (virtually) be around.

For your crit, I think you should be a little more deliberate with your tags. You do a great job with them, generally, but I feel as if I want a little more oomph and cleanness/sharpness out of them. It's more a writing style crit than anything else, so take it as you will. :|9

Ah, thank you? :D

Could you elaborate a little more, I'm not sure I understand what you mean?

A sense of, dramatic execution, maybe, that I feel is not quite there? I'm not sure how to explain it lol I am so unhelpful.

It's interesting you say that. Very much so. I will have to think about how to go about doing this.

This whole manner of RP is different to what I am used to. In prose I can be a lot more dramatic and insightful, when it calls for it but when Ed's just writing a response back it makes it difficult.

If you could give me more insight:
Is this missing in all manner of posts - Text/Voice/Video, Canon posts, Action spam and RL? Or is it only certain types?

No, I was thinking more in general. Adjusting to RP-style of writing can be tricky, I know, but for me it's helped to think of each tag in the context of the canon series the character is from. Like, for Zuko, if I were seeing him react to this on AtLA, what would he do/say? Because the writing in AtLA is very tight, that usually helps me a lot.

I also look at each tag as its own sort of mini fic, if that makes sense. I want it to make an impact on its own, independent of the thread it's a part of.

OF COURSE, this is all... the ideal, etc. Realistically speaking I/we don't all have the time to put this much effort into every tag. XD That'd be silly and exhausting. But it's something to think on.

Hm, okay, fair enough. Something to ponder.
