Hey everyone this is a ROADMAP post which means you can vote for ideas that you want to see sooner, this will help shape the future of the site!
OK so this is definitely going to happen, I’ve just got to prioritise it.
A feature so you can give a rating, and select favourites on characters, from the Character page.
It could be connected to the Character Tracker, which I’ll also update, so you can maybe get a notification when a new story involves on of your tracked characters?
Lots of potential for this, and I can’t wait to see what rating everyone gives all the characters!
Love the idea of favouriting characters. The idea of rating characters makes me worried, though! Everyone better be really nice to Nyssa and Benny, OR ELSE! /j
Oh I would love this! I think it would be really cool because sometimes there are characters that are amazing but the stories they’re in aren’t, so it would be really nice to have separate way to rate them
I’m the kind of person who thinks a character is only as good as the story in which they function. Of course there are characters who I like more than others (Clara🥰) but at that point I feel like it becomes a bit of a popularity contest, where you’ll have lots of people giving the Thirteenth Doctor 1 star or something because “fandom consensus”. It’s all just a bit too arbitrary for me.
Like I think to see how popular a character is, it’s nicer to see how many favorites it has. Because with rating you’ll be able to see a general dislike for some instead of a not-liked-as-much-score, and I feel like that’s not fun for fans of the lesser liked ones.
Yeah, especially if a character got the short end of the stick in their TV stories but their audio/prose content is more well written etc since less people will know of the latter
