How's My Driving?!

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


How It Works:
[1] List your name/nickname/handle and your characters for which you would like some feedback (use our handy form, if you like). Open hands, await feedback.

[2] Go forth and leave some polite thoughts, crit, questions, concerns, comments, suggestions, general feedback, 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.

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

[4] Please also refrain from posting pictures, animated .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.

[5] 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, if you so choose; these threads are your own lookout.

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

The Form:


To the best of my abilities, I'll keep an ongoing and alphabetical list of the HMD comments on this post here below for easy reference.

You know I have a hideous fondness for your Ginny - well, obviously - so that won't earn a tl;dr mention --- but let me just say how amazing it's been stalking reading all her threads with her brothers, seeing her establish that balance, actually thrive in her family environment. idk, now that I've seen her with them, I realize how difficult it must've been for you to have Ginny go on without them ;_;

[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com 2011-08-29 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm really glad you're enjoying the interactions with the Weasley siblings as much as I am because they are so, so close to my heart and sob yes, it really was a challenge to write Ginny as the lone Weasley for so long, but it's been such a satisfying exploration of her character, too. And having it develop into this thing about missed years and growing up alone and reunions with family, aaahhhh so much fun.

Ruxi, your continued support and encouragement for my Ginny is always so incredible and amazing and flail-inducing. I can't thank you enough. ;___; ♥

I absolutely adore your Ginny; I was never the biggest fan of her in the books, but that's less to do with the character and more to do with the fact that I felt as if JKR could have done a better job of building her characterisation and— I actually had that phrased better in my head BUT I HOPE YOU GET MY MEANING? ANYWAY I think you do an absolutely fab job of building on and expanding on what is shown of her in the books, and making her a really fun, interesting to character to tag and I SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE A CREEPER (when I'm not failing at activity) but wanting to tag with you forever*

so. um.

feel free to tell me off for being a creeper

*you also make me want to pick someone up from HP at Poly

EXCUSES simple solution: have Fred blow up something of your character's twice a month. he doesn't mind. he'll make that sacrifice for you. o7

Thank you so much, Laura! AND YES I DO GET YOUR MEANING. I'm so glad what I've been doing with Ginny is working for you because I really do try to expand on her characterisation while still keeping a direct tie to canon and not getting too off-track. And omg I have so much fun threading with you and your Will (and I'll get to your HMD comment in a moment, soooob)! AND YOU CAN CREEP FOREVER, I LOVE IT.

get your draco in here.

HEY SISTER!

Um, I am somewhat bad with words and feelings, so bear with me here as I ramble incoherently.

OMG I FLIPPING LOVE THIS CAST AND ALL OF YOU GUYS AND EVERYTIME I CHECK MY INBOX AND HAVE A TAG FROM YOU I'M LIKE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

srsly, bro. You're Ginny is fantastic, esp since I think she's a hard character to get right, and you do her PERFECTLY. All her sassiness and humour and loveableness comes across so beautifully that I just want to hug her CONSTANTLY (but use George instead for that).

You guys have also been the most brilliantly welcoming cast EVER. This is the first time I have joined a fully formed cast already in a game, and you've just been SO AWESOME to talk to and bounce ideas off of. It gives me warm tingly heart feelings.

So uh, basically - STAY FABULOUS.

[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com 2011-08-29 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
HEY, BRO!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MARION! /flails Omg I still cannot believe this cast is even happening, I'm just so overwhelmed with love and amaze and I seriously do count myself as so lucky to have you and Faith playing the most incredible pair of Weasleys ever. Thank you so, so much and I can only say the same thing about you! Talking with you about your George that one day on aim was so fabulous and you're so easy to talk to and asl;kdal;sj you stay fabulous. <333

Are you ready for some teal deer? 'cuz I'm ready for some teal deer. Dinner's looking tasty tonight. /cracks knuckles

OKAY, SO. Gosh, where to even begin? We love on each other so much that it's hard to think of what I haven't already gushed at you about. I guess I can start with that: our OOC interactions. You are the sweetest, most accommodating and understanding person in the universe. Seriously. We were working on opposite time frames for the longest of times, but you still found time for my shenanigans and never once complained about how slow everything was (and still is, sob, those log tags are coming I swear). I simply cannot express in words how much this means to me. Time is something I never really seem to have enough of but you made some for me and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful that is to have in a castmate. And then there's your willingness to plot out silly things and your encouragement and the ideas you constantly contribute and have I mentioned yet how amazing you are? Seriously. No, seriously. Thank you.

Now, to start in on Ginny. My unfathomable love for Ginny. I love her. So much. Jo gave us this minor-major character with a significance in the story but without much presence or information but with plenty of room to grow, and you quite literally helped her grow. Reading your tags and getting this insider look into how you play her, you've taken her from this bare-bones character and completely flushed her out into something so deep and complex and beautiful in all those minuscule ways that make her real. She doesn't feel like the main character's best friend's youngest sister out of seven, but like a living and breathing person that's trying to deal with a terrible/amazing situation.

Which is where Ginny and poly come in. The way you display her development over her time spent here is some seamless between her time in canon, I almost feel like she was actually written that way. She's matured but she's still so warmed by home, still Ginny despite the years she's spent growing up without the people or even the world she was meant to grow with. I love how torn she is between missing home and wanting to stay here, especially in light of the things that have happened to her here (that I did not know about oh my god never leaving her alone again). The way she is flipping between mother henning and sibling rivalry is adorable, and Fred's banter with her is some of the most amusing and hilarious CR I have ever had the delight of having.

And that brings me to the final point I'm going to rant at you about. You've made playing Fred so much fun and heart breaking and creative and just all these beautiful amazing things that I never even dreamt of. I was sosoSO nervous to pick him up, halfway because he's such a minor character but also because I was so burnt out on poly from my time here with Sam, but this has been absolutely refreshing and exciting and new which is one of the greatest things I could've hoped for in playing a new character. Fred is all but overwhelmed by everything that's happening to him right now but Ginny is helping ease him through it and he couldn't be more grateful. He loves his little sister almost as much as I do. Almost.

So, to stop breaking LJ and life and looking like a complete and utter dor, I will end this with the utmost of my affluence. Jskdgwiauhekauebdiuwkeua I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU ARE INCREDIBLE AND AN INSPIRATION AND JUST MAKE MY LIFE SO HAPPY THANK YOU ;_____________; <33333333333 ♥

... so, I. Literally have no words for this comment because... sob I am so speechless and I may have almost cried - just... so, so touched and humbled and you are too much wonderful all at once. Thank you so, so much. This really does mean a lot to me, every word, and I've already given you a ton of love since your first email about apping Fred and I will continue to give you love because you deserve it and more. I adore playing Ginny, and she will always be held in a special place in my world and heart, and you've made that experience of writing her even more fulfilling. It means a lot that you like the direction I've taken her and her development in the City without being sent home has always been a concern for me because it's so easy to get away from her canon self so I'm so, so relieved that it's working for you.

Thank you thank you thank you so much. You know I will always backdate and write with you forever, timezones and schedules be damned, and thank you for being so patient and always giving back beautifully-written tags. Writing with you has made me a better writer, I'm serious. ♥

I have so much fun with Ginny and I've loved seeing her glee over having her brothers back in the City.

I think they need to kidnap her and take her to Cinna's for a total makeover.

Thank you so much! :D

(Also, that might have hilarious consequences.)
