How's My Driving | January 2014

WELCOME WELCOME, THE QUARTER QUELL HAS ARRIV-- wait a minute, wrong script. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! It's that time of the (new) year again! Read on for the details of this, the newest of our quarterly HMDs.

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: Anything? I've kind of been throwing her at a variety of plots and CR just to see what sticks, and I have a half-assed player plot regarding time travel that I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to do it yet. (The fact that she can't take more than one person with her doesn't help—and taking anyone at all is stretching her mechanics a bit.) Any thoughts, comments, etc. are welcome.

Focus: He's been through a lot of changes lately and had what basically amounts to a major depression recently. He's kind of on an upswing now, and I'm trying to make that happen. I'd like to know if his development makes sense, that sort of thing.

General Note: Between being extremely busy for the last two months and experiencing a certain malaise with regard to RP, I know my activity's been spotty. Sorry about that. I'm trying to find something that'll kick up my energy level with both of my characters, and hopefully I'll hit on something soon.
