HOW'S MY DRIVING?

Comment with the names of the characters you play for feedback on your roleplaying. Other players will then reply to your comment telling you what they honestly think in a constructive manner. While both praise and critique is welcome, we'd like to remind you that this is a valuable tool for many of our members. We'd like to request that all comments remain constructive.

While the staff highly encourages everyone to participate, only comment if you are capable of giving and taking potentially harsh concrit in a mature, level-headed manner. Assume good faith at all times. Crit is meant to be resolved, not "won". Give mutual respect for each other's work and ideas. Aggressiveness creates unproductive stress and conflict. If you are emotionally compromised, you are not fit to captain the Starship Enterprise need to step back, take a break, and then return when you're ready.

Anonymous commenting is ENABLED. Anonymity doesn't detract from the validity of concrit. An anonymous compliment is a compliment; an anonymous crit is still a crit. However, if you are going to post anonymously, consider it your obligation to follow up –– it is frustrating for muns to never get a reply back, and HMD should be first and foremost an ongoing discussion.

We have provided a form to post with, if you would like to use it. Mentioning things like canon points, permanent losses and recent major events in their lives in Paradisa may help give people a better idea of the character's mindset and current actions.

<b>Fandom Name Here:</b> Character Name - <lj user=> <B>Link to HMD:</b> <a href="http://----">Individual HMD Post Here</a> (optional) <b>Loss:</b> <b>Canon Point:</b> <b>Notes:</b> <b>Specific Crit Requests:</b>

Alternatively, you may choose to post a link to your private HMD thread on the character's journal and take comments there instead. The first thread of this post will be reserved for those people, and we will freeze those comments. People will be expected to follow the link to the character's individual HMD to give crit there.

That last sentence may just be the key to fixing them both. :P

Or at least, a piece of it.... /slinks off to AIM

Adorable icon is adorable

ARE YOU SECRETLY JOHN EGBERT? ;)

... but seriously, it is? AWESOME, then you can tell me if I'm doin' it right. :D

[ectobabble.livejournal.com]

I'm STILL backtagging that plot. My inbox is full of little green bubbles that say "RAY" on them, aaaaaaaaahhhhh.

Aw, TY. I really need to figure out a way to shake him up, he's been in a bit of a Wildkat -> Nines -> Lobby rut lately.

[peroxicide.livejournal.com]

dfsdnkgdsg i definitely will. haven't noticed anything wrong so far aside from me not having Venkmann right here beside him so you're doing great <3

Only because - ONLY BECAUSE - I would turn gay for Bill Murray in a nanosecond.

IF ONLY I COULD ACTUALLY PULL OFF HIS CHARACTER
I FEEL UNWORTHY OF THAT MASTERPIECE OF A MAN :(

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

True, the crit about Five wasn't really crit. I apologize, nor is the expeditions not happening your fault. If I thought I was ready to run things I might try to run it myself, but given than it's spring now, I can at least prod people IC. But yes, more a CR meme thing...

[ectobabble.livejournal.com]

I shall keep my eye out for it and MAKE IT HAPPEN, then. :)

Again, thank you for this. I adore good, honest, in-depth, polite criticism. <3 If I knew Felix's canon at all, you'd be getting some of your own.

I understand that it's probably difficult. I've agonized over dropping characters before and You've had some characters here for a very long time. However it's probably best for you as well to destress yourself by lowering your commitments, rather than posting with one character and realizing you have to scramble to make AC with another one.

some questions I would consider thinking about this: whose voice is coming the most easily? whose tendency to get involved in big-time plots and such requires the most commitment (do you have time for those commitments?)? do you have a hard time coming up with posts for some of them? posts are the basis of AC in para though comment threads can count for passing AC. I think if you give yourself less to commit to you will probably do better with the commitments you have.

She's used to little shits. She used to be one of them.

Sorry, Karkat. You're stuck with her, now.

[peroxicide.livejournal.com]

OOCly I have no problem with this at all, because Jilly is a fascinating character and that PB is ridiculously beautiful, oh my god

ICly

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

xD....she will never, ever realize that. Ever. /hides in baggy clothes forever.

And of course she isn't. She wouldn't dream of telling him what to do. She'll just follow him and make sure he doesn't get himself killed. Quietly.

[senri.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, actually! Kanaya is a newer muse and Homestuck's intricacies kind of intimidate me, lol. So I'm really happy to hear people are liking her ♥

I enjoy her and Alleyne's CR as well! So thank you!

[continuing.livejournal.com]

I really love Emil and Asuka's CR! It was a pleasant surprise. Emil is a good influence ;_;

[senri.livejournal.com]

Girl if you want we should arrange for some cr with them and yours *^* because I'd love to make more cr with both of them, especially if you like 'em! ♥

Thank you so much!

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome, darlin'. Your CR is thanks enough. ^.^

[senri.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Nervous with Kanaya, as she's a new muse from an intimidating canon, so anything good people have to say about her makes me happy. :')

/THUMBS UP

[peroxicide.livejournal.com]

Oh, we shall see. We shall see about that.

sansdfsd his face is this icon when it comes to that forever

[siebter.livejournal.com]

ASUKA IS A TERRIBLE INFLUENCE ;w;

nah but i love it too. the combination of the two of them is just so fun to play with!

[tomatoandbasil.livejournal.com]

It's good having her be around such interesting kids again, even if she can't admit it yet due to her loss. I think it really helps keep her sane.

You could pretty much write all the Kanaya bits for the actual comic so don't worry ♥

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

I have to say, so far I've really loved what I've seen of your Dean. I know you've had health issues, and I maaaajorly dropped the ball when I tagged him with Kaylee, but I definitely want CR.

I do think his loss is a bit harsh, but you're already fixing that, so.... no crit from me! Just happiness that we have an awesome Dean. :3

[possemagnet.livejournal.com]

Awwww, you're the cutest thing!

I was aware of how harsh it is and I'm definitely working to reaffirm it. Yeah, I had a weekend of meetings all while being sick with a 100.01 fever so this has been a crazy week.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE KIND WORDS.

They are on instant streaming through Netflix. :3

/would totally join that viewing party.

It can be really frustrating when you start not bothering to select an icon in threads. I know this is petty but whenever I start getting just a string of default icons from you, it tells me that you don't care enough about our thread or the CR that you can't be assed to pick an icon out to suit the expression/mood of your character. Not just that, but a lot of people take facial cues and body language cues from icons so it can make it a really jarring and awkward thread in general, personal feelings on it aside.
