Archetype
The Prestige Hunter
Follows acclaim and the canon. With a streak of The Empath.
8% of curators. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.
The canon, the acclaimed, the made-to-last. They want the thing that will still matter, and they are usually right about which one that is.
Where it goes wrong: Reputation can rate the work before you have. Watch for stars you gave to the name.
More about the Prestige Hunter
- Avoids
- Disposable pleasure. If it will not be talked about in ten years, it is hard for you to care now.
- How they rate
- You rate close to the critics and a little above them for craft. Your surprises are rare and worth reading.
- Good company
- Formalists and Archivists share your shelves. Genre Devotees think you are missing the fun, and sometimes you are.
- Against the crowd
- You are harsher than the crowd on populist hits and kinder to the austere and the slow.

Each dot is a title: your stars up, the audience's average across. Dots above the line are where you were kinder than the crowd, below it harsher. A wide spread means you do not follow consensus.
