How's My Driving | July 2013

[ironwood]

Three months have already passed since the last HMD? You betcha! This means that it's time to kick off the fourth quarterly gamewide HMD here in Tu Shanshu! Things are getting structured a little differently this time, so read on for details.

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.
  
• New! We ask that each concrit provided consist of one positive and one constructive bit of feedback. Bring up something that you like about that player, and in the same comment provide something that you feel they could work on. This is to help round out the feedback and provide a better experience all around.
  

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.

Aah thank you! And that is a very good suggestion! He's been doing several things now so I guess I just need to find the one that interests him, and I might think about which one it would be a little more but! YES.

If anything he might end up pouring his attention into language classes with Tem. LEARNING THE KEDAN LANGUAGE AT AN ACCELERATED PACE..!! >8C

Anyway yes THANK YOU! :3

I did follow through with Al and we agreed on a compromise of "hmm he seems familiar" while still maintaining the secret identity element.

Thank you!!

AND YES I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO DO THAT while at the same time expand with what she's comfortable with re: taking charge of medical things. I know tagging out to new people is something I'm not... instantly the best at but it's one of the things I'm trying to work on so that there can, indeed, be more of me around.


BUT AGAIN AHHH THANK YOU
