What rating would give each of the Darwin's Soldiers works?
On a scale of four stars...
Furtopia (first) - Two stars. Yes, I read this entire RP, and most of it was good. It certainly seemed to be much more dark in tone than the GOF ones ever got, and most of the characters were interesting. Dragore was utterly insufferable, at least to me, and is currently my least favorite character in the entire Darwin's Soldiers universe.
Furtopia 2: I never read it in its entirety, so I cannot rate it.
Darwin's Soldiers 1: Four stars. This was my first ever RP, and it had everything I could have wanted in an RP; action, combat, and I felt like my character was making a difference on the storyline.
Card of Ten: Three stars. This was my first ever story, and I can see that there are several things wrong with it. It doesn't have the same atmosphere of the other Darwin's Soldiers stories, and the time stuff gets a little confusing even to me.
However, I did do a good job making sure every character on the away team gets a moment or two in the spotlight, while keeping James as the main character throughout. And the twist at the end is still one of my favorite twists I've written for any story,
Darwin's Soldiers or not.
Schrodinger's Prisoners: Four stars. This is my favorite of the stories I've written, and looking back it's the only one I wouldn't make any changes to. It's perfectly
Darwin's Soldiers.
Survival of the Fittest: Four stars. I know I missed the first 20 pages, but once it started it didn't slow down until the climactic finish. I only wish I could have been there for the beginning.
Pavlov's Checkmate: Three stars. This one is a good story in its own right, but it shouldn't have been written as a sequel before the third RP existed. Once the 3rd RP is over, I'm going to go back and fix any continuity errors that may have formed.
Nietzsche's Soldiers: Three stars. Good start, okay middle, anti-climactic end. Eddie also never really was fleshed out as well as I'd hoped, and I thought it was too predictable that he was going to die. But I was glad I wrapped up Dr. Tinner's story arc.
Fool's Gold: Four stars. I was excited to see Kerzach get his own story, and it didn't disappoint. Fast-paced, high-stakes, and with some touching moments as well, it also gave Montgomery the chance to be the lead villain, something he hadn't ever really been. All in all, a good story, and I hope more will come.
How are your Darwin's Soldiers stories coming along?
Still typing them up, though they're both finished handwritten. they should be up soon. I'm starting to consider posting the first part of both stories, and that'll force me to find time to continue typing them up or face a schedule slip.
