New Year's Feedback

[Matsu Xiangu]

It's a new year, and as such I'd like to get a little feedback.

First of all, Matsu herself. I care about her more than anyone else I've ever written. I used to think I'd get her to Sith Lord and lose all my momentum, but if anything she's only picking up steam. All thoughts are appreciated!

But secondly I'd like to get impressions of her IC/OOC. What she's about, how she projects herself, what it's like to be near her. I have a very clear, complex image of her and sometimes I worry that it doesn't come across as I want it to. Many of you who write with me frequently know what I aim to achieve, but just as many of you I am only writing with for the first time or just discussing plots with so I'd like to get some takes on her. If she's not projecting as I imagine she is, it's something I'd like to spend my time working on. But I won't know until I ask!

Also if you have thoughts about her son [member="Onley Xiangu"], I'd love to hear those too. I'm usually a one character kind of girl, but he's really caught my imagination.

I also like GIF's.

Great.

I love everything you've been doing so far. Keep doing you like you have been and 2017 will be twice as good as 2016. #OursIsTheWay.

Speaking as someone who is quite new here but has been constantly reading/catching up on various threads and stories I've certainly enjoyed what I've read of Matsu so far, both in terms of how you've written her and how she interacts with others (and how others have reacted to Matsu too). So I'll definitely be following your threads, especially so if Jacob ever ends up encountering her.

Which given his condition, may possibly end up happening sometime in the future. ^_^

Thanks for the feedback! It's always great to get impressions from people who are newish to the site.

And I can only hope they run across each other in the future - the more the merrier!

Matsu scares me, but like, in a way that makes me want to have her baby.

Lok and Matsu need to have more...playdates.

"This one [member="Lok Munin"] is certainly useful, don't you think dear? Shall we see how well his corpse sings?"

[member="Matsu Xiangu"] I wish I could give you feedback that is as detailed and insightful as the one you gave me, but I don't know that many ways to make variations of the sentence "Matsu is awesome."

What I dig the most is the level of creativity in her character. We have a good number of cool, powerful sith lords on chaos that is out of question, but she stands out by being just a notch stranger (and creepier) than most of them. And I mean that as a compliment.

Also Onley is a character that has grown on me quickly, especially because he another sith who sees the worth in working with criminals. I mean it's such an obvious combination that I always wondered why there are so few doing it.

But no, I'm going to print THIS out and save it for when I feel bad LOL.

We have so many amazing Sith on this board, but I'm glad my favorite band of 'creepy' comes across as I intended.

For ages I thought it was 'Orly Xiangu' and I pictured an owl hybrid. Then I was sad.

[member="Matsu Xiangu"] I'll keep this short and to the point because I'll just go on if I don't.

Matsu is the perfect example of "what you see is what you get". You have never strayed or lost sight of what and who she is, and it's so reliable for others to build and work from having her as a solid character.

She's unpredictable, unsettling and unnerving - the perfect enemy to go against the the perfect ally to work with.

You have great creative writing and I always say I want MORE from Matsu in development to further her story...but at the same time I don't. She's a comfortable unease and I don't always want it to change, but at the same time she's too fascinating NOT to want to see evolve even more and just see what she becomes.

Keep it up, because she's one of the foundations of the site I believe in a memorable and event-spanning character.

Well done.
