This is the second review since I last reviewed him last March/April. Questions beg for the answer, has their been any relative improvement since the last 30+ Days?
Personally I feel it's a bit early for a re-review but as requested, i'm only too happy to serve.
Our Re-review is of NEW Competitor.. Midnight Felon.

The Review...

Reading up on the last review, I am looking to see if the problems I pointed out have been improved. Well checking through Felon's latest work I see that he has only posted 1 Rp this month, I can't really work with this I'm afraid as I need around 2 promos at least to work with in order to be able to offer an accurate analysis of the writers skill level; I really should put this in the rules section. :(

But from what I've read so far from the episode entitled 'Felon.. Un-seen'
The spelling and grammar has improved mightily. It has advanced quite quickly in fact from when I last read.
The use of good paragraphs along with semi-colons and many other punctuation's that are used correctly; Giving a more professional look to his promo.
The development and creation of Felon's mood and description of his actions as well as surroundings has also improved greatly. Which really has me in a pickle whether to take this as a 'One off' or a genuine increase in performance. This Rp shouts out Contender; But without more of the same I'm afraid that I can't give him the award, sorry. Provide more work next time, 2 at the least.

After having a very relaxing break from the scene, it's back to writing another review with some of the E-Fed's finest writers on the scene.
Another day another E-Fed Felon.. Midnight Felon to be exact.
My latest applicant to join the ranks of my Top 50 list. A bit last minute but I don't have a rule on that.. There should be. Wait.. I'm the Boss, I can make that happen. :S
But anyway, enough small talk. Time to start up this latest review... I hope Midnight Felon finds this inciteful. Glad to see another member of New Era Wrestling has come to join the ranks of my Top 50 and business is starting to pick up again.

I have read many of Felon's Rps this month to make my decision on his current ability through all the usual skills that one needs to progress up to that Elite Ranking that so many want.
I like the build up of his promos as they have a tone of exciting narration showing the experience of one who has written many promos in his time and looks for new ways to spice up a beginning.. We all go through that stage I think.

Although, I found several Typos, spelling & grammar mistakes in Felon's Rps that i've read this month. Nothing too serious. A spell checker can clear that up with no problem.
But at the moment, it has seriously cost him the basics for Elite.
I enjoy the quotations though, with the words of wisdom he shares through each rp build up I read from Midnight Felon.
A member of Murder Inc. Felon has returned to reform the trio that has caused so much carnage in the NEW ranks in the past. Each promo being of decent size and length, unfortunately lacks after the build up and the storyline to this character shows, I feel it still lacks any up to date plot. Mostly summarized story pretext of his past.
After the start it tends to go down hill from there. With large areas of conversation, little description on emotion or his surroundings which again I state in several reviews as vital to an Elites members ability.

His strengths lie in build up and promotional skills. This is through his narration, which is good to know as you want to take your Readers through that roller coaster ride with every promo you write.
Always have your Readers excited for more and recapping on Felon's past and latest history always helps to feed our Readers knowledge, helping them to summarize what this character now faces and his mind set for the current task they've set themselves upon.
But apart from that he lacks the skills in spelling, grammar, emotional/environment building of his characters which is a vital part of a writers experience and it really helps to snag in new Readers.
He has the worm on the hook, but the fish get's away.
Some of his promos do show that his development towards these skills are getting there. But, as always, practice makes perfect.
I feel a Mid-Card rank is all he achieves for now but keep an eye on Midnight Felon, certain sentences and paragraphs show that spark of talent and with time and experience will see this man grow in ability as a good writer and entertainer.
