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.

different anon. i wasn't going to say anything at first because i didn't want to +1 you to death but you are taking this crit like a child. your receptiveness to crit aside, i'll keep *my* crit in line with what's been posted here and not elsewhere.

i have to agree with the original anon regarding your use of pbs. i don't think they are a good representation of either character. i actively avoid your characters because of them, so it is a much bigger deal than you may think. using them is your personal choice, but you need to realize that not everyone enjoys them. by not using them the problem is solved, otherwise it's just a problem that you are going to have realize exists by choosing to do so.

as far as your receptiveness to crit, if you can't handle the fact that someone is going to have critique that you might not like or agree with then i suggest simply abstaining from posting on here in the future.

Take a step back. Take a break. Then re-read things carefully with another perspective. I don't see the person as acting like a child. They said sorry, and they are willing to take suggestions.

as far as you see here, yes. you're right. i was factoring in more than just that.

i've already agreed to not use them all together if it bothers that many people. i wasn't aware that it was this much a problem, but again, i'll stop using them all together and i'm sorry that my PB choice wasn't to your liking.

and i'm fully aware of how much of a child that i've been acting like, and i fully apologize for it and how much of an ass i've been making of myself. i completely regret it and in the future i will abstain from posting to HMD until i know i can handle it.
