Fanfic Ranking

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).

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.
