1. I'd say so. I don't struggle to understand your posts or anything like that. Your posts are generally a good length, neither too short nor too long. Unlike some of the people on here who either write a few sentences or an entire novel every time they post, yeesh.
2. Would also say yes, although most of my interactions with you have been in the context of Ripley being an Angry Pink Woman™, so I guess my perspective is kinda limited. I also dipped into some of your RPs with Ryv, those were pretty good.
3. Writing style is subjective, so keep in mind that this is strictly my opinion and personal taste. I mean it, seriously - I get salty when people use alternate fonts in their posts, I'm that petty. Overall your writing is just detailed enough, which I like, but tends to lean more towards the formal, stiff, or even "clinical" as far as word choice goes, just from what I've seen. It's very spare and straightforward. If that's what you're going for, ignore me. But because I'm feeling extra today and I feel like you're looking for a more detailed critique of your writing style, Imma bring up a paragraph from your latest Ripley post here:
"The fluorescent lights of the interior were a stark contrast to the dark exterior the city streets had. Ripley squinted and blinked a few times as her cobalt eyes adjusted to the difference. The question caused her to glance back at the padawan, a confused expression across Ripley's face. As she saw the little dance, she couldn't help but give her a goofy grin. The free spirit's demeanor was infectious, and started to pull her out of the dark hole she had been in earlier in the evening."
The formal impression comes from your use of the words "interior" and "exterior" rather than just inside/outside. Specifically because people generally only resort to using interior/exterior if they've already used the more common terms elsewhere, to avoid repetition.
I noticed you describe Ripley's appearance frequently in your posts - her
cobalt eyes here. I tend to not bother describing my character in posts (I did a lengthy writeup about descriptions
here if you want to read more about that) because I'd rather give the other writer my impressions of their character, and let them do the same to mine. Mostly because there's only so many ways you can describe your own character, and like I said, repetition makes me salty. But other people do this all the time, and that's more of a personal taste thing on my part.
"a confused expression across Ripley's face" - I know everyone is tired of hearing this, but this is telling rather than showing. Instead of saying she looked confused, think about what happens to the human face when they are expressing confusion.
She raised her eyebrows, or
raised an eyebrow.
She blinked, then grinned. Something like that would tell more about the character, too, based on how much emotion she shows in her face. Is Ripley more stoic or can she not keep a straight face? etc.
My final note is that the use of descriptor nouns rather than a character's name beyond just their species or rank. Like calling Phalsi "the Padawan" or referring to Ripley as "the Zeltron". But calling Phalsi "the free spirit" is, you guessed it, telling rather than showing. I admit that this is more me being anal about it than anything else, as it's just not something I would do. I'd just say that
her demeanor was infectious, since I already established that she was dancing. Ahhhhhhhhhh writing is hard.
Anyway, you definitely have permission to pet the pug.
