How's My Driving?
[PROCEED]

IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE! HMD, HMD! HOW'S MY DRIVING? PRETTY GOOD, RIGHT? AREN'T YOU THANKFUL?! GOBBLE IT UP, POLYCHROMATIDS~!!

Welcome back to our more seasoned members, and welcome to you first-timers.

HMD is the gamewide chance for feedback on playing here in polychromatic.

And here's our philosophy on HMD: praise--it's all well and good (we all love it, yeah?), so if you want to give praise, love, ♥s, whatever, go for it! It's especially great to say what you ♥ so much about a character. For example, how they acted during X curse or Y plot was great, or how they adjusted (or didn't?) to the City was fascinating. But we all know, constructive crit is best when you're looking for advice on how to improve. What we really encourage here are questions. It gives you the chance to maybe understand something, (and maybe you think it makes sense after all now), and the player a chance to explain. For example:

"How did Gary get from Point A in canon to Point B in Poly? It didn't quite make sense to me."

"What started this whole fascination of Sue's with the bananas?"

And then you find out that there's a long, involved story that goes back six months involving the aftermath of a curse, a lizard, a pound of potatoes, a watermelon, three French maids, and a pogo stick. And then it all makes perfect sense.

Or perhaps it doesn't, but you've started a dialogue about the things you perceive versus the things the player perceives.

As decided by community vote, anon is not allowed here on the main HMD post, and IP logging is on. Sorry, Anon. However, we encourage posting a link to your own, personal, anon-enabled crit thread(s) if allowing anon is something you want to do and are comfortable with. But keep in mind that we moderators can't police those crit threads: not only are they anon, but they are on your own journals, and there are dozens of them. But we entreat members of this game to be polite and courteous, logged in or not. We will be watching the main post for any unrest, however, so keep that in mind. (We like to watch.) Let's all keep ourselves like civilized people, and have a decent time. Remember, no road rage in HMD.

To keep things organized, please post your comment in the following format*:

<b>Player name:</b> <b>Characters played:</b> Character :: Fandom :: Character LJ <b>Personal concrit link:</b> <b>Anonymous allowed/encouraged? Y/N:</b> <b>Other comments?</b>


The general disclaimer, as usual, applies:

By choosing to post here on HMD, you may receive comments you don't necessarily enjoy. By posting here, you accept that this could happen, and you're basically okay with it. We will be monitoring this post for abuse and will shut down any instances of abuse we see. However, constructive crit, comments, or questions you just don't like do not count as abuse.

Whew. Now that that's all out of the way, have at it, polychromatic!

*Please remember our requests regarding sparkles, images, embedded media, and other bits of coding. A little variation on the comment form is fine and tasty, and putting things like gifs or videos behind links or in collapsed threads is fine too, but please consider the loading time for others with slower connections. And take it easy on the placeholders: HMD isn't going anywhere.

And because it's apparently traditional for HMD posts to go up in the middle of the damn night, here we are. =_=v

Thank you, so much! <333

Oh, I'm glad Fred is still as good as she was last HMD. I was hoping I didn't lose her voice down the way. Playing her with Penny is such fun, they work really well together. And yes, there should be a Club. XD

As far as Sylar goes-- yes, that is canon! He spent pretty much his entire life as a watchmaker, and one of the earliest scenes you see of him (when the show went 'six months ago' to look at the origins of all the characters in season one) is of him being able to tell someone's watch is mildly broken from five feet away. It's definitely his specialty, and it's also how his intuitive aptitude ability comes out in the show's soundtrack. He basically gets lots of broken clock noises. XD

So how fun was it to bring him to this city in particular? :D Once he realized it was based on a clock, he was sure he was dreaming. And that's also why he's so gung-ho about getting to the clock mechanism Underground-- the fact that he can't understand the biggest clock he's ever seen is driving him (more) nuts. It borders on obsession, although he has a few things tempering that right now- basically his instability due to his point in canon is making him distracted.

ANYWAY- all that rambling is definitely a big ol' "yes, that's canon". :3 And awww, yes, that image of him and Dru dancing together is kind of sweet. It was fun to have her back, even just for fourth-wall day. :3

Sylar suddenly makes all kinds of sense! Thank you kindly for explaining him to me. That's incredible, putting someone with a knack for/obsession with watches on top of a giant watch (especially when their sanity might not be entirely stable--nothing drives a person crazier like incessant ticking).

[notcrazy-honest.livejournal.com]

YES. This is why I knew I had to do this thing, once I found this community. It was meant to be. :3

And he's the only person here who's spent decades with the ticking noise....but just hearing one big one affects him more than he thinks. XD It is not good for the going (more) crazy.
