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
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.

Link to HMD: Individual HMD Post Here (http://lone-defender.livejournal.com/47977.html) (if you really want an individual one)
Loss: Her memories of season 1
Canon Point: A few weeks post-Journey's End. Ish.
Notes: She was opted out of Slenderman plot, but I still intend to get her out and about more.
Specific Crit Requests: Nothing specific.
Any and all crit will be considered but not necessarily applied etc etc boring fine print stuff.

Also, that being said... if you don't want to seriously consider people's criticisms, why would you even post? You may not mean to, but you come across as having a very nonchalant attitude - like if we don't care for how you play Rose, we can pretty much stuff it.... especially since she seems to be around just enough to make activity.

I'm working on the wording, since I've been told I sound like that: I do seriously consider crit and am interested in knowing if and what people have. It's just that I may decide I disagree with something presented, and it seems rude to put up a post inviting people to share their feelings and then waste people's time about it. (And...I do admit I'm rather shy about HMDs so I'm iffy on understanding the expectations and etiquette involved in them)
That said: do I seem only around enough to make activity? I believe I had three or four posts last month, and tagged out a decent amount as well?
Though...on an OOC note I've been feeling out the game a bit, and thus kept my distance activity wise, ICly Rose was spending most of her time in the TARDIS going through the library and going over things with Ten.
With a different vibe with the new Ten and the castle having gone out of its way to make things personal for Rose, I imagine she'll want a more active role in things now.

My crit is purely on AC.
Opting out of the Slenderman plot is fine. It was a very, very fast paced plot and can be a lot to handle when you're juggling other things. But even before and after, Rose has made very little effort to tag outside of her cast...and even then, threads are slow and laborious unless it's with Ten.
One of Rose's strengths is her curiosity and her immediate way of connecting with people. She genuinely cared about the people they ran into during their travels and she was active and asking questions and curious. Here, she just seems very content to hide in the TARDIS with Ten. I do understand that Ten was beyond inactive and, when chars are so closely interlinked, that can make it hard to know what to do while you wait. But it doesn't entirely excuse devoting so little time to tagging around or even answering the tags in her posts.
You're good at Rose and you know it. But that doesn't mean she is perfect or that it's fair to others who would like to play with her when you give her a cursory amount of attention and then disappear again. We are all busy. I understand RL gets in the way. But part of the fun of being here is actually building friendships and playing. And if you're going to bring a fantastic Rose into this game, we'd like the chance to do that.

Well...it's partly as I said above. I'm a very shy person when first joining a game, and it's awkward for me tagging out to people because it feels a bit like pushing her onto characters. With canonmates it's a bit easier sometimes...but I'm fairly certain I've tagged out to non-canonmates as much as I've tagged canonmates. People whom I talk to OOCly--such as the old Ten mun and a few others--I find easier to tag because I can easily say 'hey is me tagging you here, here, and here annoying? Do you need me to priority tag back because you'll only be here a half hour or you'll be gone a few days?'
It's sort of a sad thing, but the longer I'm around, the more I feel I belong and can tag out with more confidence.
On an IC/OOC straddling level, yeah it was pretty tough to figure out what was going on with Ten often because of some delicate plot situations, a fairly important hanging thread, and really the general living situation. ICly, Rose was spending much of her time researching and looking for whatever answers she thinks the other her must have found to be swept away by the castle. It's a pretty boring and difficult thing to really post to, and once she was living in the TARDIS almost impossible to action tag to.
As things are now, I'm a bit more comfortable with Para, and Rose has motivation to go out and deal with the Castle.
One of the things to probably note though is that Rose is season four, not season two. She's a bit more down to business and dry than before. This is the woman who took control of UNIT without a name, manipulated Donna into sacrificing her life, and barely said hello to Jack. The empathy and curiosity are still there, but she's a driven woman, and although this isn't the end of all reality she's still going to approach a situation like the castle with that same seriousness. First she's going to want to do whatever she can to escape and stop the castle pulling in people or doing whatever it is it's doing.
When she's determined that's not an imminent possibility, she'll settle more into the 'meantime', and relax a bit more.

...And then sometimes, just to screw with me apparently, they'll start working perfectly for awhile and randomly cut out when I'm not looking. I honestly do not know what Yahoo's problem is with Para notifs.

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling more confidence. I will say that Para muns are surprisingly welcoming (really...don't take the HMD as an indicator. It is, after all, a place for complaints), and that non-canon mates would certainly be thrilled to have tags from her. In a game that moves as fast as Para does, there's really no such thing as too many tags from one person. More CR is always love.
I stand by what I said. Your Rose is lovely. I can always hear her voice in tags. It will be great to see her around a bit more.
