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.

i do feel forever bad that i keep people waiting re: tags, though, EVEN IF YOU ENJOY MY TAGS (that just makes me feel worse fjhdklg lmao). right now, i can't make any promises that my activity will improve because i'm not sure how my family situation is going to be*, but if things stay as they are right now, i think i'll be able to improve (at least a bit).

THAT ASIDE i'm really glad you enjoy how i play him ;; i think i said the other day that i do worry at times that i'm straying a bit from how he's portrayed in CA and CP, and i can never work out if it's in a good sense or a bad sense, especially with how ... questionable CP was in places. i mean, it's so arrogant to think that you can do better than the original author, but i do hope that i do a better job of portraying him more consistently/realistically than that mess in places LMAO and i'm. super glad you enjoy how i write him djkl ;;

*if you want to know details, i plurked about why this morning

NO DON'T FEEL BAD seriously ;; I saw the plurk and asdjlaj I hope the situation will get better or at least not deteriorate, really. And none of the above was intended in any way to make you feel bad/worse about your activity so I hope it didn't come across that way ;; I basically think your Will is impeccable. He's not always easy to play with, but then he shouldn't be and I think it just makes him all the more realistic and RPing with you challenges me to be a better RPer myself, idk. And you know, maybe it is arrogant, but I honestly think you do a better job with him than CC does, so whatever.

oh, no, you didn't make me feel bad — or no worse than i feel generally about my activity, it's just super frustrating because ... rping is what i used to do to relax, but with what's going on at the moment, i just end up feeling too ...irritated about everything to be able to tag particularly well consistently, or even have the drive to rp. LIFE IS HARD...

ahaha i tend to enjoy playing characters that are dicks (IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED), and one of the things that does concern me at times is that whilst i find the fact that they're arses fairly entertaining, it's not enjoyable to play against for others and — i think you hit it on the head with the fact that will isn't easy to play with. i know that not everyone likes negative cr, and ... i'm not really sure where i'm going with that, only that i'm glad that if nothing else, he's IC.

WE'RE JUST TAKING A GOOD (?!) BASE AND GOING FROM THERE, CLEARLY (nottalking)

[waitedforyears]

Phew, good. I can understand the frustration, but just— idk, it's easy for me to say, but don't be too hard on yourself on this? RP is supposed to be fun times and fun times only and it shouldn't ever be something that makes you feel worse/more frustrated/whichever

WELL YES BUT YOU ARE SO GOOD AT THEM. i must admit i find will's brand of arse-ness very entertaining as well, but tessa obviously doesn't, so sometimes it's difficult, but i think that's as it should be. their relationship is not and has never been an easy one, so why should it be in poly? (and if CC goes and makes it easy, ..... grr.)

YES.
