How's My Driving | April 2013

[ironwood]

Spring has been sprung! All over the Western hemisphere, flowers are blooming, bunnies are bounding, and the little clickity-clack of rper fingers at keyboards is in the air! To kick off the season in style, it's time for our third HMD here at Tu Shanshu.

How's My Driving?
While each and every character must have an HMD page available, we offer a gamewide HMD once every calendar quarter. This is an opportunity to get together and discuss IC interpretations and portrayals in a respectful, beneficial fashion. In a nutshell, it's a chance to see how we're doing in the grand scheme of things.

There are a few ground rules to cover off before we can start:

• Participation in the quarterly HMD is 100% optional.
  
• Be respectful, anon or not. It's a lot easier to give and receive crit if all parties are making it a discussion of it rather than an argument.
  
• IP logging is off and anonymous commenting is on. You can offer crit signed-in if you like, but the option's there.
  

That's it, that's all!

And, to make things easier, here's a handy-dandy codeset:

<big><b><i>Player Name</i></b></big> <i>Character Name:</i> <i>Canon:</i> <i>User Name:</i> <I>Focus:</i> Optional. Do you have particular concerns about your portrayal that you'd like to be the focus of crit? You can link any threads you'd like a second opinion on here. If you're looking for structural feedback, or would prefer things like grammar not be mentioned, put it here.

Clark's probably the character besides mine I know best, so a quick note before I run off to Real Life: thread-stalking, I've seen a ton of 'Kal gets serious' stuff lately and you're hitting that just fine.

If I had to find fault, I think it would be that while you do regular-adult-guy aspects (both Kal and Clark personas), the sarcasm and irony are less apparent. Remember how he is in the newsroom and on the reporting job. I'd say go back through scans and any you really like for the snark, try to emulate.

Thank you dear, I'm just always caught on the cross-fire between 'too much sarcasm' and 'not enough' with him. I will check back on some issues this weekend to get a better grasp on his sense of humor again ^^
