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.

Focus: Any general oversight or things you've seen that I might not've caught, mostly. I've been playing Zatanna for over 2 1/2 years now, and Midii for well over 3, so I've fallen into a rather deceptively comfortable place of zen regarding their voices and character interpretations...but one can always learn more from a fresh perspective. Particularly for Midii, as she is brand new to the game as well as a character with limited canon open to a wide range of possibilities and headcanon.

I can also say that I received very good advice recently regarding my tagging speeds, and will definitely try to figure out a way to work on that. In addition, adding 'hooks" to some of my initial tag replies is another thing that will be taken to heart. Especially when I branch out beyond close CR, as I try to occasionally do.
