Sure, the Cannibal-Psycho Lesbian-Monstrous-Mary Sue Ruby Rose does turn some people off (and what Ruby does, even more people), but ignoring that, it's among the best RWBY Fanfics ever. Like it or not. I argue that it's one of the most read. Not best. How do you rate literature? I agree that it is one of the best written because the author puts thought into it, but "highest quality" is a subjective term. I'm happy writing psychological thrillers. I'm comfortable with most gore. That fanfic made me want to throw up after reading the first ten chapters, and put me off working on my own fanfics for about a month. A high quality piece is something that makes you keep reading, basic definition given to my creative writing classes in uni. If the story makes you want to stop reading, then the author has failed to make the story grasping enough.

I'm sorry, I got good feedback on my fanfics, but because there's no sex scenes, no gratuitous violence, and carries itself basically the way the show would, despite featuring the canon characters, I never got much attention. The second one, which has some of those things, hasn't even had the first chapter finished because I've been at work almost every evening. I do not view Blood Rose as a top-quality story. Too polarizing. If I like the story, I read it, if I don't like it, I never touch it again. Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian may be most popular or whatever, but they're not the best, same here.
