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.

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.

Naruto: Sakura Haruno - haruno
Link to HMD: Individual HMD Post Here
Loss: Her voice.
Canon Point: Prior to leaving Konoha to GO TO WAR!!!
Notes: I was a failure through February in all the potential possible ways to fail. Activity concerns are valid critiques; if you think I'm handling Sakura's loss too lightly or too -- well, too anything, let me know.
Specific Crit Requests: Am I getting annoying? Do I need to tag around more? I think I do, so I am planning to keep pacing myself and getting out there. Whatever you'd like to let me know about is invited and welcomed -- do I not give enough to thread with in person? Am I keeping Sakura IC? Let me know about anything you have!

Regarding activity levels -- first, I think I've finally gotten over worrying about "timing." I've held off before for some strange sense of NOT THE RIGHT TIME TO DO A POST and in all honesty that's not following the spirit of roleplay! I'll also be trying to do more action/or log playing, since face to face interactions are something I'd like to keep exploring. I'll continue making an effort to build CR for Sakura, if I've kept that as a slow build anyway, and I want to thank people who've put up with my backtagging that can take days. I'm never slow out of a lack of interest in you, but rather a lack of energy on my part.

Again, anything is valid to bring up as a concern to me, and I really welcome people doing so.

... Even going "lol who are you even?" as that... is pretty indicative of something I need to work on. 8|b

I'm probably biased buuuut I think your Sakura is a doll. I don't think you're getting annoying at all (haha wtf), and I wouldn't mind seeing her around more. I'm still impressed with her loss, to be honest. She might take it a little harder maybe? I admit I haven't read everything you've done with her so this might be a moot point, but I know you brought it up in her most recent post. I'm not really sure what goes through a person's mind when they lose their voice, but again I haven't had any complaints so far.

Heh, thank you! Yessss as far as getting her around more, I'm going to take advantage of talking to some of the new kids as they come in (ICly) and also the action posts I see out and around. There's a lot out there, I just need to hop on it! \o/

Yeah, I've downplayed a lot of what she's been thinking in regards to losing her voice, like the frustration that comes up in wanting to just be able to talk and still lapsing into it, or getting into habits of biting down on her tongue (sometimes literally) or her frustration at not being able to yell at people when she's pissed over what they've done -- downplayed it in the sense I haven't written about it a lot. More introspection would help, and that's part offff what I'm trying to get done with her. /fistpump, works on this!
