Rank Applying For: Novice
At least three of your recent role play topics:

• Study Buddy? - Seth Selstrom
  This thread shows Harvey in his element, the Library. While the posts are somewhat short, I feel like the quality definitely overshadows quantity. In this topic I tried to show Harvey's affection for knowledge, his tendency to judge and a subtle hint at his elitism, particularly when it comes to intelligence.
• A Long Day - Daniel Brewington, Faith de la Cruz
  While I was writing it, I saw this topic (started by Daniel Brewington) as a platform to launch Harvey into the more 'social' side of his life at Hogwarts. I tried to illustrate his attitude towards peers (specifically younger ones) and the way his fellow students see him. He's a bit of an oddball, what with the walking bag and all, and I felt that that aspect of his personality endears him to the younger students and is really indicative of his personality.
• To Start A Lesson - Daice Lichen
  Another thread in the library, 'To Start A Lesson' really shows Harvey as a 'mentor' and places an emphasis on his love of knowledge and affinity for magic. I tried to show Harvey in a 'strictly business' environment and alluded to the fact that he is well-liked and respected enough by his teachers to be asked to tutor someone.

Why you feel that you should move up:
Because I rock, at life - jaaaykaaay (that's only part of the reason). I feel, now that I've gotten fifty posts under my belt, that Harvey is taking on a more 'believable' personality. I've refined my goals for him as a character and come to understand how he acts/performs in different environments. He's moved beyond the 'bookworm' that I had drawn him out to be and, with more threads to come (particularly the What We Got Is Hard To Find thread that I'm participating in), will keep expanding on the facets of his personality.

Watch your wording! Usually if you run your posts through microsoft word, or something of the like, it will catch general grammar and spelling errors. It's not something we require for Novice, but good spelling, wording and grammar will help you advance through the higher ranks as you go along. It's just better to get into the habit of doing that now, rather than later.

I want to see some more description of Harvey's surroundings in some of your posts. Like when he was at the library. We don't really know what time of day it is, how full the library is, what the temperature is like - all things that really make for an amazing opening post. Explore Harvey's senses - Hogwarts is a magical place, and there's tons of strange and wonderful things that go on within it's walls.

So other than that, I have no more to say. You're a talented writer, and I think with a bit of practice, you'll be rising in the ranks in no time. I can't wait to see more from you.

Approved for Novice.

And for future, make sure your current rank is in your topic title, not the one you're applying for. I fixed it for you ^_^

Hello. I'll be your next reviewer. It's been a bit since I reviewed so bear with me.

Your posts meet the requirements for Novice, I like how you use hyphens, they are the only punctuation that I actually pay attention to and I so rarely see them. The mistakes that I saw can easily be corrected by re-reading the post, grammar check would definitely pick it up in a second. If you don't have a word processing program, you can always find an online spell/grammar check.

I'd like to see more explanation in your profile of different aspects of your profile, like explain why being sequestered in a library would contribute to his looks and all that other neat stuff.

Right. So approved for novice

Hola! My name's Kat, and I'm your final reviewer, which makes me more awesome than the first two. :P

You definitely have to work on your sentence structure and flow, but all of that comes with practice and guidance through the ranking system here. I'm not going to drill you too much for your posts because you're new to your character. When you go to reply to a thread, however, put yourself into the situation. It's your job to paint the picture for us, so you need to be really descriptive. The best posts on this site balance talking about their characters' thoughts, as well as describing the surroundings and the situation. Take your focus and zoom out a lot. Your character is not the only important thing in the scene. Sometimes, a lot can happen because of the surroundings, so don't ignore them.

All of this comes with practice, however, so don't fret. You'll be moving up in no time.

I approve you for the Novice Ranking.
