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.

So I feel really really bad but the only one of your muses that I know extensively is Logan. DESPITE ME WATCHING SMALLVILLE WAY BACK WHEN, I know very little of the canon ~~Ironically I stopped dropping in season 4 when Lois was introduced OH WELL~~. But yes, from what little I know, I love your Lois to pieces already and threading her, for the short amount of time was fun. ~~Even if all your muses like picking fights with Vanitas~~ and I'm sure the same thing would go for Han too.

So, yes, Logan, haha. Okay so pardon me while I squeel a little bit. But truth be told I absolutely love and adore your Logan. As someone who pretty extensively has watched all of the X-men movies (I think my all time count for the first movie isl ike 36+ times?? L-LOL), I was excited to see a Logan. But not only that you play a really good Logan.

You have his voice down almost perfect. The banter you have him going on is A+ and its funny to see his no nonsense. His voice is perfect, because from his word choice and tone, it just screams Logan. I think the best part is that he does use so little words, but what he does use is effective and I think you capitalize on that beautifully. Whether it be by threatening people in just a few comments or what he did with Travis and just end the feed immediately (I seriously was LOLing IRL for a good few minutes at you two, so good.) Even his actions are very, very Logan with that act and kick butt first and ask questions, or not ask questions, later. But he's not unreasonable either. But at the same time he can be nurturing, and even though he has lost some of that, since he lost his memories of Rogue, you still managed to keep that intact. I think that was demonstrated so well with his recent with X-23 and trying to comfort her (but I"ll talk about that more later). Even though you've just started out playing him here, I think you know his character and his mannerisms very well and its wonderful to watch and interact with.

But I think my favorite part, that you addressed as a concern is his interaction with canon mates, specifically I love and continue to love his interaction with X-23. You handle his reactions to others without possibly meta gaming, and I'll admit I was worried to see a movie verse Logan where I know there is a heavy comic book base here in paradisa. But I loved all of it. I haven't read everything, of course, but what I have seen has been great and very in character.

But yes X-23, SCREAM. Its golden, so very golden. I pretty much has my face GLUED TO THE SCREEN as I read their most recent thread where they talked about who she was, and how they bonded over that. I always think that if Logan and her met up in an RP they would have this almost...unique interaction, bordering on father-daughter. If that's your plan? THAT WOULD BE AWESOME, but I loved the way he treated her and acted around her. Its very very Logan and I approve whole heartily.

I will admit I was rather...curious as to why you decided to take him from post-X3.Other than perhaps for that it was a definite canon end point for him. The reason I ask is because of me being such a diehard, Logan but especially Phoenix fan it was interesting to see someone actually play him from that point ~~as much as the third movie makes me RAGE sometimes lol~~. So I just wanted to know your thoughts as to the canon point.

Also while...I'm here I wanted to ask if maybe we can...plot in the future. I know you said that if anything happens where a fight would be provoked (LOL VANITAS DOES THIS ALL THE TIME ANYWAYS) that you'd want to talk about it. S-so yeah, just throwing it out there. BUT YES I'M UP FOR ANYTHING, whether it be witty banter or fighting or anything, I just love interacting with your Logan *__*

Also, do you mind if I add you to plurk?

Oh man, this made my entire morning, thank you for taking the time to tell me all this ;___;

~~AND OF COURSE I ENCOURAGE MORE WATCHING OF SMALLVILLE, it improves every single season so much~~

Anyways, thank you for reading his threads and pointing out the stuff that's working really well. I try really hard to make sure I pick the -exact right words- for him when I tag since he doesn't use many, and to say a lot with... brackets or tone of voice, or even with his curtness.

I've felt really blessed that we have such a wonderful X-23 to work with, because I'll admit I was nervous about it when I apped him, uncertain of what to expect. We have let things just happen organically, and aren't planning out a direction for them to go in, but that's largely because my knowledge of the comics with her in it is very limited, and I don't want my decisions to be influenced too much by / simply mirroring canon, as this Logan is slightly different, and circumstances are VERY different. Either way though, it's a relief to hear that it seems to be flowing naturally and in the right direction, because I really love their interactions so far. There's a part of him that recognizes there's some kind of gap where his memories of Rogue are but he doesn't know that consciously, so this helps him plug Laura into that place on a subconscious level.

As for canon point, you asked why I took him post-X3, but I did not...? I actually took him from a little before halfway in the movie, after Phoenix first wakes up. I took him from that spot because I wanted to pull him from a point that would leave some questions open ended for him back home: and the biggest one I could think of was what had happened to Jean and what Phoenix was going to do next. It makes for an interesting dynamic of his having to worry about that problem back home, and seek out information from people here about how to maybe avert her fate when he returns, etc. Also, I honestly didn't want to deal with all the character deaths in X3, and the potential of those people apping here :C That's just a matter of personal preference. I did, however, want to have him be established enough in the X-Men that he would feel comfortable taking some control over the X-Kids here, so the third movie seemed the logical choice.

AND YES we can totally plot and Plurk is a great place to do so. :D Please add away! ♥

AWWW, I"m glad! I WAS JUST POINTING OUT YOUR AWESOME HAHA.

~~I-I JUST MIGHT. REALLY. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME HOW GOOD IT GETS SO JHRPOW~~

YESSS thanks. I'm glad you said that and I get that you want to do things naturally. IT WAS JUST ME FAN GIRLING IDKKK? L-lol, but yes, it seems to be rather smooth and well built. I very much look forward to seeing how both his interaction with Laura, the X-Kids, as well as everyone else.

Ah okay, thank you for clarifying that. Since I was a little confused as to where in X3 you'd taken him from, since I know that it was sometime during the time of Phoenix but I didn't know if it was post-death or what (I meant to word it as post-death instead of post-movie). That and sorry I didn't notice before specially where its like HURR DURR CANON POINT ABOVE LOLOLOLO. My own stupidity aside, I couldn't agree with you more. Mostly because I too was rather, what's the word, concerned where there is so much character death in X3, especially with what happened to Jean Grey/Phoenix. I agree though, that taking him from sometime between either X2 or X3 is good. I think I was just :/ cuz I'm so hit or miss with X3, ~~specially their interpretation of Phoenix~~. But I'm glad you really thought it over for both a character development and CR perspective. I may also have to have an X-men movie marathon this weekend, fo sho :>

AWW THANKS! &hearts
