I'd just say use a warmer palette of color. Because it's a really big problem if you use a high color like orange or something. When I roleplay I try and use warm colors to make sure it doesn't hurt your eyes so you can see. I think that's a problem around efedding sometimes when people use bright colors. Like if you want a deeper color than just yellow-ass-yellow I'm sure you can find it, no problem y'know? o-o

two, color-coded dialogue encourages skimming. it makes it too easy for the eye to skip to just the spoken. Couldn't agree more with that. I've been in a position where I've skimmed in the past (obviously when I've not been judging), whereas when there is no color I've tended to read the whole thing. Personally I don't use colors. The only time I have is when someones character name has a color in it, like Orange Octopus and Green Grasshopper.

Now that I've judged and turned in my scores, I wanted to take a moment and say this.
Prophet, you stepped it up this week. I was really impressed with your work. It's a major change and it worked well with me.

I'd love feedback on my efforts this show. I thoroughly enjoyed your posts. They were written very well. Furthermore, they provided insight into Summer's past, her motivations and has made me very much interested in your character. I also like the blog piece. I think that was very creative. Looking forward to reading more from you. Consider me a fan.

It's a major change and it worked well with me. Thank you so much. I was kind of afraid the I-need-to-retcon-everything-because-my-character-kinda-sucks approach would backfire, but glad to hear to you enjoyed it. Summer: I really like the self-deprecating humor of your RPs. She's a very likable and charming kid. I'm curious to see how you're going to make her mature as you go on. The only problem I had is that right now I find her more cute than intimidating. This isn't necessarily a bad thing and it could work for the overall character arc, but it could also backfire if you wanted to explore darker material. Just something to think about.

Summer, I wanted to let you know that I personally enjoyed your stuff. I loved the first one more in comparison to the second, but that's okay. It was a solid pair of RPs for your debut.

She's not as cute and unassuming as you think. Also, I don't /really/ have any plans to write darker things with her when I have Jackson for that.
