How's My Driving | July 2013

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.

Reine
Character Name: Traci Thirteen
Canon: DC Comics
User Name: urbanmagic
Focus: Am I making Traci too friendly? Too flighty? Too anything? I admit to being worried about her either knowing too little or too much about things, (Too little of the superhero community and too much about other stuff to be specific) Is her voice off, etc? Comics is kind of weird to me since Traci is supposedly Asian with a British accent but apparently her personality is more forged by America so yeah, she's a weird one for me and I'd love all the help I can get.

I'm currently on hiatus, but despite that I am aware of my tendency to have fluctuating activity levels. (Some weeks I am in the mood, then some weeks I disappear entirely) This is mostly because of constant RL burnout, so no need to point that out.
