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.

The form:
<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> Please refrain from posting pictures, .gifs, videos, giant text, sparklies, blinking and moving tags, and &c. in top-level comments

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.

Re: Kestrel

[beyourarmy]

So, I don't remember too much of Baccano!, and I have yet to read the light novels, but whatever. Just seeing a happy character makes my day, regardless of how you're playing him. I can't judge that, but I just wanted the chance to say I like Elmer and hope to see him around more when I get the time to BE around more.

[undespairing]

Aw, thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying him, and I hope he can continue to make your day! Actually I think playing him has started making me feel like getting smiles out of people is more important than characterization--which in itself is his character, in a way. So anyway, whether or not I've got it right, I'm glad you like him!

[oceantrauma]

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Enjoyment from a hobby > characterization anyway, you know? So if you're enjoying giving others enjoyment? And it just so happens that's his character? I think that's all win!

And, after Fate/Zero novels, I definitely have to make some time to read the Baccano! light novels, he just reminds me of that every time I see him.

[undespairing]

Ahaha yes! It's like the perfect combination!

And you really should definitely read them, they're amazing. But that's coming from a Baccano RPer, so I guess you could say I'm biased. ♥

[oceantrauma]

I don't think it's just your bias. I thought the anime was amazing, so I'm sure the light novels are even better!

That's the thing - the anime gave me this motivated, energetic happiness. That's what I get from Elmer. Must be another reason I like him so much.

[undespairing]

The anime is a really energetic series, isn't it? That's one of the things I love about it. Elmer's just like--that crazy guy in the background who goes up to the people that aren't getting motivated by it and says "Come on, cheer up! You can do it!"

[oceantrauma]

It really is. I watched it twice. That's so adorable! You're doing that, alright.
