Escaflowne Adept

    Well, I'd have to say it could've been a lot better and I had problems with being over-ambitious and controlling, but... I'm glad I was able to pull it together and make it end decently, and now I'm *trying* to cement over any storyline cracks in Soul Twist 2, but... I think I might be making them worse. MEH. Favorite character: Chicken Juno. Backack!

Elec

    Although I was a bit disappointed the way it went so downhill, I must say that it did have some interesting qualities to it. My least favorite part was the introduction of a new character with stats and everything if I remember correctly who was killed off two posts later. Also, there was a little too much internal strife. The infamous chicken incident had to be my favorite.

 

    Elec was the fifth person to join the RP. She wrote 14.03% of the story, doing so in forty-six posts.

Ricky

    Though the story is interesting, and had a lot of potential, I feel that potential wasn't reached as well as it could have been. The main problem came from the fact that none of us really wanted to make progressive posts- we were either waiting for somebody else to do it, or we had no ideas. So, instead of making progress, arguments were made. I have never seen an RP group fight as much as the one in Soul Twist did. In early September, when a few of the players complained about Escaflowne Adept's lack of activity, and she kinda lashed back, I decided to drop out, but I continued to read the RP. Two months later, after watching Esca talk about her ideas, and seeing that the RP was actually going somewhere now, I came back in; unfortunately, in a case of really bad timing, I came in at an idle period, and so another fight broke out. On top of that, I just had no ideas for the story. So, I dropped out again, permanently this time, and had my character (Nancy) give the others a piece of my mind. This RP is still a good read, though... it just didn't work with me, that's all.

Dr. Gate

    I honestly don't remember much of this RP considering it was a year ago, but what does stick out (heh) is that I had a bad bout of writer's block in the middle of it and almost gave up (or was that Soul Twist 2?...I don't know!).
    I thought the beginning was kind of slow and boring actually. No I am not re-reading the RP as I go along. Looking back at it, I don't remember most of the characters in it except returning ones. I have no idea what Luual did, for one, nor Jefferson (weird Mage name o_O).
    This was actually a really weird RP with a lot of non sequitur events, but it was still fun, despite getting lost multiple times. 
    Random quote time! "Juno: Eh, I'll send you with them, as well. And I want blueberry frozen yogurt, I think I've been gaining weight lately. But cover it with gummies."

ShadowSword

    Ah, this was a fun one. I did enjoy the Chicken Juno (heh, heh) and the wealth of charming characters involved in this RP. I'm very glad Esca didn't really give up on this one. Once again, (like I always do) I used Josh and my other characters in this RP to paint a bigger picture about all of them (I just hope someone out there has been following his story, or my efforts would be for nothing except my own enjoyment). All of the characters made this one fun to have a chance to write in.
