Stella Reviews anewdawn-rpg First Impressions: I’ve seen this theme before, and I like the colors. They go with the idea of dawn, but the sidebar is a bit too dark for the theme. Is it Twilight-related? The admin has used gifs in their posts, and that sort of bothers me, but I guess there’s other things to look at, other than a theme with default colors and a sidebar gif that doesn’t match. Appearance: So I really don’t like the theme. None of the images match, between the sidebar, the icon, and the theme itself. I don’t like being brash, but I have a hard time finding something I like about the colors you have chosen for anything. The text is easy to read, and that’s always nice. But besides that, I strongly suggest you getting a different color scheme for this theme, as well as a sidebar image and icon that match. Structure: I had lost a lot of faith in you with the theme, but you’re starting to redeem yourself already. The navigation is beautiful and very well-organized, leaving nothing out. When I got to the plot, I read it, and liked the idea. I’ve never seen a Twilight plot that centered around the Cullens, and once I got past the poor syntax, I actually liked it a little bit. I suggest proofreading it or sending it to someone who does read-overs to take care of a couple run-on sentences and grammatical errors, but other than that, I don’t mind the plot. I mean, I don’t love it, but it isn’t terrible. I’m still on the fence about you guys. I went to the bios and…. oh man. Here we go again. You have fantastic bios, you really do, but the graphics have the same issue as everything else– they don’t match the theme. But I can’t go on about that forever, so I read four bios, and this is what I gathered: first off, you have an admin post in the #open tag, which is already an issue, and second of all, the bios are short. Of course, I don’t mind bios that are to the point, but I feel like they’re almost too vague. The only redeeming factor is the use of bullet points to express relationships and personality traits. I really want you to be a good RP, so it hurts to see so many great characters gone to waste because your bios were so short, they gave me nothing to think about when I read them. I strongly suggest lengthening them. Mechanics: I was hoping your admins would be a redeeming factor, but even then, I find them to be a bit mediocre. They can’t handle helpful advice, and seem to be almost too laid back. I’m not going to tell you how to run your blog, but there’s got to be at least three of you, and going by the mascots and where they were used, two of you (whom I am not going to address by mascot) need to learn to take criticism. This review is highly critical, and you need to take it– most of those anons you got sassy and snappy at were just trying to help, it isn’t their fault that they misunderstood. Always act kindly, because you never know who is behind that mask, and how much power they’re swinging around. -- source link
