Rating Writing - Scales / Credentials

Ok. So I am going to randomly pop in on marapets, drop some harsh looking ratings, and most of you are not going to know where I am coming from, who I think I am, etc etc.

I use 3 different methods to rate. Marapets Rating Scale, Personal Acquaintance Scale, and Professional Rating Scale. Below I am going to describe why I don't feel too bad for doing this. So my credentials, if you will.

Believe it or not, I am not just a jerk online destroying what you find precious. Although, it may seem like I am, I am just a nice guy trying to bring some reality into your dreams before reality crushes you to pieces.

I've been a member of marapets for a long time. Before this ancient account I had another account. I pretty sure I have been here as long as marapets has been here. I have roleplayed with the 'greats' and seen some pretty amazing things here. People like PuppyPower I knew like, ages ago when her poems were kind of lame, and then she became like, skilled. Aquapower and Weeeveee are also gifted people, as were other amazing persons. My MRS is me comparing you to these great people, and to people whose names I will not mention (because they were that poopy at writing). Its fair. Take it as a bone, because my other rating scales are much harsher.

My best friend is an editor for some publishing company, and loves to give me lectures on what I do wrong, etc. When her book is published i'll link y'all to it if you want. My other friend is working on a book that I am sure her publisher will gobble up. this friend has won a couple big time writing competitions. My other friend got like, 3rd or something in the Canadian Remembrance Day Essay Contest. Doesn't sound too big, but she never submits writing to anywhere else. She is phenomenal. Regardless, 3 of my friends writing is published somewhere, or soon to be published (1). This is why I give a PAS rating.

I have been taking writing courses for the past year, and have taken many of them in the past. Whenever I pop in on marapets it is because my brain is fried, so there is a high chance you are going to see me slipping up. I apologize in advanced. I have the ability to edit someones work, and then the person who I edited can use me as a reference or w/e they do when submitting me to their publisher. I've only done this once, for one chapter of a book. Its not fun, and I will never ever do it again. Professional editing is a butch. This why I can give a PRS mark.
