How's My Driving?

H.M.D.?!
[I KNOW YOU'RE EXCITED!!]

How It Works:
[1] List your name and your characters for which you would like some feedback (use our handy form, if you like)!

[2] Please refrain from posting pictures, .gifs, videos, giant text, sparklies, blinking and moving tags, and &c. outside of collapsed threads. For the sake of our sanity and our load times. You are welcome to link to them in top-level comments, but otherwise please save 'em for collapsed threads.

[3] Open hands, await feedback and go forth and leave some polite thoughts, crit, questions, concerns, comments, suggestions, or any combination of the above for your fellow players about their respective characters. In this, we really encourage you to ask questions and get explanations about what has gone into characterization decisions. Communication is key. Find out what went into an action or decision and you may come to understand it better. Let's talk it out.

[4] Please try to be polite and constructive. Can't stress that enough, can I? Give suggestions and ask questions! Be constructive! But please also refrain from using "placeholder" comments. HMD isn't going anywhere, I promise!

[5] If you'd like, you can certainly list your personal HMD posts and contact posts over in the POLYchromatic Rainbow Pages directory.

[6] As per our community poll, Anonymous is off. We'd also like to request that sockpuppets not be used on this HMD. You are welcome to post a link to a personal HMD thread where Anonymous is allowed; these threads are your own lookout.

To the best of my abilities, I'll keep an ongoing and alphabetical list of everyone's HMD comments here below for your browsing pleasure.

Player name: Rae
Characters played:

Dr. James Wilson :: House, M.D. :: dr_conscience
Todd Anderson :: Dead Poets Society :: mumbled_truth
Dr. Emmett L. "Doc" Brown :: Back to the Future :: what_the_flux

Personal concrit link: I'd say to just use Wilson's for all of them, because it's the only one on which I'm sure I've fixed the IP logging and anon settings.
Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N: Allowed! Not totally encouraged, but I'm far too shy to judge anyone else for wanting to be anon if they have crit for me. <3
Other comments? I've been slow lately, which I am very sorry for. Work does that. I really appreciate everyone's patience in backtagging.
Also, Doc is still pretty new (since last HMD, at least) and hugely intimidating to be playing, so feedback on him is much appreciated. Extra apologies for his tags, too; since I've been playing Wilson and Todd for years and him for a couple of months, his take me a bit longer.
And I think that's all? Fire away.

[cametolife]

i know i said this on plurk the other night (last night? idk, my weeks tend to blend together into a solid neverending day of surrounded by children), but the amount of time and effort you put into these characters, especially wilson and doc, continues to impress me. as someone else who plays a brilliant scientist type in another game, where you have your doc is where i am to be with me and mine, if that makes sense. he's wonderfully ic - it's like watching the movies! and wilson is just akdfjlaskjdflsd so wilson. there's no other way to put it. some days i wonder if you're actually robert sean leonard in a rae mask.

you are amazing and your slow is worth it to get to play with your characters. ♥

[dr_conscience]

Rumi ;; THIS COMMENT GAVE ME ALL THESE WARM FUZZY FEELINGS.

It's good to hear that Doc is working out so far since playing him is an exercise in constantly asking myself "Oh my god am I seriously playing Doc Brown what the hell am I doing" but it is a lot of fun so I'm glad that he's okay so far XD

And I think you should know that this:

"some days i wonder if you're actually robert sean leonard in a rae mask."

... might be my favorite thing that anyone has ever said to me in an hmd.

So I'm just going to flail a bit. THANK YOU RUMI ILU and playing with you is always wonderful, I'm so glad we're in a game together again ♥

[tamitha]

/FLAILS BACK i am so glad we're in a game together again, too! ♥

Re: Rae

[forhishonor]

I haven't tagged any of your characters yet, but I've done a bit of stalking of Wilson because he was always my favorite in House, and I just have to say that you play him so well! I hear his voice in all his tags, and it's absolutely wonderful. ♥

Re: Rae

[dr_conscience]

Awwww thank you!! I do worry about getting too comfortable with him sometimes and maybe straying a bit because of that, since I've had him here... well, for basically forever in RP terms, haha. So it always makes me happy to hear good things about him! ♥

[ethos]

I haven't seen the movie in its entirety since I was a kid but Doc's voice comes off clearly to me! Slightly and simultaneously delighted and focused on his research all the time, which is how I remember it being.

[dr_conscience]

Yay! Thank you. I'm really happy to hear that he's working so far. Still intimidated by him, but... that's probably never going away, haha ♥

[beyourarmy]

Now, I know I've said before I love your Doc, totally. He's Doc to me, in every way, and something about his interaction with Ken is just ADORABLE. I can see it. It works. He's excitable, energetic, and you bring all of that out in his voice, even just with words.

As for Todd, really can't remember the movie, so I never have anything to say there. But Wilson. Oh man. I haven't seen House in a couple of years, but he was my favorite back then, because he was kind of a cute push-over in some ways, and then had a backbone at other times, and has some idea how to handle House, SOMETIMES. I wish I had enough stalking time to see threads with our House because I'm sure you've got down it perfect. So far what I've seen? I adore. You even have his passive-aggressive, but wants to help, nature down, too.

I don't know how useful any of this might be, but there. Also - slow? So have I. And, as I said before, I'll backtag forever with you.

[dr_conscience]

I love Doc and Ken's CR! He needs lots of little sidekicks to fill the void, you know. And the ones he's got so far are... much more intellectually inclined than Marty. (Sorry, Marty! XD) But I'm really glad that he's coming across well so far. I don't think I'll stop being intimidated anytime soon because Doc Brown, but it's probably better if I stay that way anyway so I keep myself in check with him, haha.

And I'm always glad to hear good things about Wilson! I do worry about getting too comfortable with him, or straying from anon, or falling into a rut since I've kept him in the game so long, so it makes me happy to hear that he's still... idk, Wilsony. You should stalk our House in general, though, because Molly is amahzing. (No, really, she's totally why I'm playing Wilson.)

BACKTAGS ALWAYS. Also this comment made me flail happily last night when I was feeling awful. <3

[beyourarmy]

lol, poor Marty, but yes. I love the CR, too, and the little collection Doc has going on there. Poor guy. He deserves more friends, for sure.

Well, from what I've heard of the latter seasons of House, straying from canon isn't necessarily the worst thing you can do. Still, to me he seems like Wilson. I will definitely try to stalk the House, as time permits.

Awwwww. Well, I'm glad I could give someone that kind of feeling, then.

RAE I have enjoyed building more, better CR between Wilson and Chase and hope to expand on that more because now Chase is a bit more of a grown up I think it does work. They really need to hang out and talk about chicks.

Rae

[dr_conscience]

They really do ;; I have failed utterly at setting anything up after the plot ended, but this will happen.

I'm actually incredibly interested in Wilson's CR from the future and giving him these vague glances into the horrors that lie ahead. I already blame you for that because I'm pretty certain Amber's visits are linked to that interest. Now you're just making it worse better.

[awkwards]

I AM SO IMPRESSED BY YOUR DOC BROWN. HE SOUNDS LIKE HIM; ALL INTELLIGENTY AND TIMEY. honestly, i was so happy to see we had a doc, and when we threaded, i was really impressed by the depth you went into wrt time and all the theory that he'd know. so, i hope he sticks around, because he's a hell of a character and you're doing so well with him.

[what_the_flux]

Awww thank you so much!! ;; I'm really happy to hear that he's sounding right so far. I do certainly hope to keep him around for quite a while... as long as his energy level doesn't wear me out too much, hah. Even though I'll probably stay intimidated by him forever. ♥
