Fanfic Ranking

"Fanfic Ranking"	"Fanfic Ranking"
 	
Description 	The ranking of all fanfic seasons and their respective winners.
Fanfic Ranking is the complete ranking of James Ben Linus' Survivor fanfic by the writer himself. Whilst ranking seasons and their winners can prove difficult and subjective, it is noted that such rankings could evolve and change over time.
The rankings are only re-done after a season has been completed on the wiki. A previous ranking was done based off the simulated seasons 'on paper' (without a fully written out story beyond votes, immunity wins, alliances etc.). However, the ranking vastly changes once a season is fully written, with many seasons and characters growing of lessening in quality due to how they turn out (e.g. Daisy going from the worst ranked winner to one of the most liked, The Australian Outback being viewed more negatively).
==Season Ranking==
# 	Season 	Notes 	Favourite
1.	Marquesas 	A really enjoyable season thanks to an interesting cast and boot order. Translated much better from paper to writing than expected, hence why it is rated so high. The relationships between a diverse cast was fun to explore (especially in the early 00's setting). Also boasts the first female winner in my fanfic series. 	Ibrahim
2.	Africa 	The cast is generally pretty solid apart from a few dull characters, with most of the entertainment coming from the initially failing Samburu tribe. The first ever tribe swap provided an interesting angle to write from, and the post-merge was enjoyable despite Boran almost being wiped out, only for the last member standing to take the title. 	Adela
3.	The Amazon 	It feels like the game-play for this season was higher and more cutthroat than others, with several strategists showing the evolution of the game through their confessionals. The dynamic between boys vs. girls (and old vs. young) was fun to write, and I still rate the winner of the season as one of the best in all my seasons to date. 	Neasa
4.	Borneo 	Being the first season written, Borneo will always hold a special place to me as being what started the fanfic series. However, the fact is was the first written also meant the quality was lower than later seasons. Nevertheless, so many of the original cast are the first that come to mind when I think about the series as a whole. 	Teddy
5.	Thailand 	I love Thailand as a setting, and enjoyed the first few pre-merge episodes thanks to the simplicity. However, the season loses several interesting characters early on, and the late merge was always a terrible twist. Despite the game-play being somewhat dull, the fact I enjoy the characters and uniqueness of the season keeps it from the bottom. 	Salma
6.	The Australian Outback	Everything wrong with Outback is my own personal fault. I incorporated way too much over the top behaviour and negativity, which makes half the cast feel like bullies. Neither tribe is particularly interesting, but thankfully Alia and Carlson keep the season grounded. I feel if I were to re-write the season it would turn out better, but what's done is done.	Alia
7.	Pearl Islands 	On paper I never regarded Pearl Islands as enjoyable, mostly because the cast aren't that standout, and the fact the season takes place between The Amazon and All-Stars. The Outcast twist allowed Mina to become the standout of the season, but everything else falls flat. This explains why writing felt so tedious and difficult. 	Mina
==Sole Survivor Ranking==
The following is a ranking of all the Sole Survivor's in the history of the series. It also notes the attribute that each winner demonstrated greatest between Outwit, Outplay and Outlast. The attributes are divided as follows: Outwit (strategic manipulation/deception, social game), Outplay (challenge wins, correctly utilised advantages), Outlast (perseverance, riding with an alliance). Despite most winners displaying multiple of these qualities, only the strongest of the three qualities for that individual will be recorded. Additionally, each winner is classed into two groups: Hero or Villain. A Hero winner is considered to have played a game more loyal than deceptive, or possessed qualities of honesty and integrity. A Villain winner is someone who played a more cutthroat or ruthless game, and can easily be identified through deceptive game-play or possibly an antagonistic personality.
