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.

I love your Dick and honestly think he's the best on LJ.

However, I'm worried he's becoming too seclusive. Your activity has been improving yet I haven't seen any effort to tag outside of Harmony or the Batfamily. Even within the Batfamily, he is only really tagging Damian. I understand he is an extremely important person in Dick's life but I haven't seen him reach out to Jason yet since he arrived. In fact, I have to wonder if he's concerned at all.

You also have a habit of dropping threads. I really want CR with Dick but I don't want to feel I have to chase him down all the time to nab a couple of tags from him. You're great with him, I'd just love to see him being more available. :(

Aaaw, thank you very much anon. That's really reassuring to hear, because Holy Crap do I have an inferiority complex sometimes! So really, thank you, seriously.

I want to thank you for mentioning this. All of this. It's something I've been so worried about myself and I'm glad someone is finally mentioning it. It'll be the kick in the pants that I need!

I'm not going to make up any excuses, the reason behind it is simply because of my RL commitments and time restraints. The past month I have been trying to tag around more, but I realise I have been dropping tags regardless of that, and that simply isn't good enough, in fact, it's fairly pointless me tagging around at all if that is what I'm going to do.

And I guess the only reason I do drop threads so much is because I'm scared people won't tag me back after I've left off of replying for so long. Paradisa is such a fast moving game, and most of the srs tagging happens past my GMT bedtime. So I often feel like the moment's passed, or people will want to move on before I can catch up. Which is silly, I know, because Paradisa is full of lovely people who will always backtag. So this is something I am definitely going to improve on.

Regarding Jason, yes, this is something I keep meaning to do ._. I do owe Hati a tag and I'm hoping that thread will confront a lot of the issues Jason will undoubtedly have with Dick being Batman and the sheer woobie Dick will have at seeing Jason this young and um. alive. Not to mention sane. It's backdated to the Slendyman plot though, so once that is sorted, I will have Dick hopefully sit down and talk to his ickle brother.

After this month, I will have completed a lot of the RL thangs that are currently preventing me from tagging around as much and generally from being around as much as I'd like. So while I understand you might not want CR with Dick atm, once I've sorted my shit, I hope you still do. PM me and we can work something out.

You needn't feel like you have to be anon for this :) you're only pointing out what I've been scared of hearing. I especially want to thank you for saying it and bringing it to the forefront of my attention.

I don't mean to overload you with this, but I have to agree with anon here, on every point. I think you’re absolutely fantastic, which is what makes me so sad to see how difficult it is to find Dick around to tag with. If you were a not-so-great Dick, it wouldn't feel like so much of a loss, but I just want you to know that, at least from my end, it's only so frustrating because you're so good. However, I really think from your response that it sounds like you're aware of what's going on completely: like you say, commenting around randomly when threads don't go very far doesn't really do much other than produce shallow large amounts of interactions, without any quality, in-depth, getting to know people types of CR. I'm not just saying this in terms of wanting CR for myself, (although I would definitely love any and all RP with you) - but also from a stalker point of view, wanting to see Dick interact more with other people in general.

I know how stressful balancing RP and RL stuff can be, so don't feel like this is in any way a negative comment on you: I just hope it gets easier for you, because I'm glad we have you here!

Thank you TT__TT

Yeah, a lot of what was preventing me from being as active as I'd have liked over the past few months is nearly over. A large chunk of it finished today, actually, so that's good news (and a load off my mind, let me tell you).

While I might not be throwing him at any and all that would have him over the next few weeks, you have my word that by the beginning of April you should be able to notice a marked increase in his (and my) availability :D

Also, I'd freaking love to have CR with you. Han, Logan and Lois? Want that. So bad.
