Plurk's down, let's party.

[asoothingvoice]

Plurk is really down today, so would anyone be interested in joining in on an group AIM chat?

We need some alternate way to procrastinate, right?

If you can join it on your own, the chatroom name is turtleparty (clearly the most inspired and original, clearly) but if your AIM client doesn't allow you to join chats, you can use plus.im to get on AIM and hit me up at fairladypsyche to be invited in.

How's My Driving | April 2014

[ironwood]

HELLO CHELONAUTS! We've reached spring (despite all efforts of winter to the contrary!!) and it's once again time for the quarterly HMD post.

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.

To make things easier, here's a handy-dandy code box:

<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.
