How It Works:
[1] If you choose to participate ([community profile] poly_chromatic's HMD is completely optional), 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.

[3] 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] 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.

[6] Go forth and answer the eternal question: "How's my driving?"

The form:


Thank you, POLYchromatic!

I don't know Mae's canon so I can't comment there, but I think your Sif is faboo from what I've seen of her! You really capture her voice well, and the weird Asgardian speech patterns. I can see her saying/doing the things you have her do, and that's really great imo. :3

I know basically nothing about your canons because I live under a rock, but I'm pretty sure you're playing Mae and Sif perfectly. Because that's what you do. You're always such fun to thread with.

And stalk. I stalk you a lot. In a friendly way.

OH MY GOD MAAAAEEEEE. Ginny and Mae have been in game together for so long but I don’t think they’ve really quite bonded on the level that they have recently. I’m so sorry it took forever to get to this point but I’m glad that we’re here now and that we can write them doing stupid, wonderful girl things amongst all the City chaos. Ginny really treasures Mae as a friend because she’s been here for a while and hasn’t left her like most people have so she’s kind of… latching onto that. I love that Mae didn’t quite trust her at first because of the magic thing and I love that they’ve both gotten past that and can just be friends and still touch on the more serious things if they ever come up. Their conversation during the Let Me Explain curse really brought their friendship to a new level, from speaking about magic to Chase and all in between. She’s like a sister to Ginny and it’s the best (and she reminds her a little of Tonks, not just because of the hair, and it’s a sad and wonderful parallel).

also special mention to siiiiiiiifffff i love reading all that you do with her, she is so wonderful and you're wonderful and never change, cella-ella-ella.

I don't know Mae's canon at all, but she gets me to smile every time I see one of her threads or posts, her nemesis-thing with Jim especially because I am transparent and I stalk all the Trek threads. And your Sif, oh man, she's a thing of beauty. Her speech pattern simultaneously leaves me in awe and cracks me up especially when she's dealing with Thor and/or Loki. ♥

First off, I'm over-the-moon-glad to have Sif back in POLY. You have her voice down perfectly, and every tag is a wonderful mix of humor, wit and general badassery. Her verbal tiffs with Loki and Thor are especially delightful to stalk ♥

And Mae is such a cutie, the zesty attitude and attraction to badboys/girls and pink hair and all. I madly enjoy creeping on her threads with Carla, and often with Chase. To add to that, all your tags have such a fabulous zing and both ladies' voices are very distinct!~ c:

Anya is still new to me, and I'm still feeling her out...and Punzie and I have been together for a friggen long time now XD, and sometimes I feel like when I play her, she's not as close as she could be to her canon counterpart. You play somebody for so long, and their experiences end up being different and I'm just afraid she and I are out of touch with canon!Punzie.

Well, with Punzie having been in the City so long and experiencing all that she has, I think any difference between her and her canon self is definitely justified. You've still kept the core of what makes her her - her cheerful optimism, sweetness, sense of humor, and adventurousness. I also love your Anya! So spunky and fun!

Oh Punzie, you cutie patootie you ♥

Don't worry about not being faithful to canon -- Rapunzel's gone through a lot in the City, and even with those superficial changes, she still has the core that was evident in Tangled -- all that sweetness and perkiness and bravery. I will always roll with lulz at all the crackpot threads she and Karl shared ♥

Anya is new and shiny, but her voice is very distinct, and she has that perfect attitude and spitfire temper. I look forward to seeing where her character will go once her memories start resurfacing and freaking her out >3

Okay basically you've probably heard it all before from me but I'm here to say it again. I was always a fan of Al. I always enjoyed his bits on the show and I always found myself wanting to see more. But I was never this much of a fan of Al until you came along with your fabulous goddamn portrayal of him, and all of a sudden he made his way onto my list of top five favorite BE characters! So I guess that all is a longwinded way of saying that you're doing it absolutely, 100%, no doubt about it, perfectly.

I love that you are able to balance Al's sense of humor and his criminal endeavors and his weird way of caring about people and his toughness and all of it fits so well together. You have his speech patterns down pat, and I am always so gleefully delighted to get a tag from you!

I've had Ginny in Poly since Dec 2008 so she has grown and changed with the game. I was in a bit of a slump with her recently and some new CR and in-game events have really helped me find her again so I hope I've done well despite how long it's been. I know it's kind of lame to say this, but... it's been a hard few weeks, so if you've got questions or crit or anything, let's talk it out? Thanks, and stay shiny, Poly; you're my home game, always have been and always will be. ♥

[personal profile] affectioning 2013-08-31 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I adore Ginny. You strike a great balance of lighthearted Weasley girl and everything she's gone through - war-wise, etc. She's lost so much and it shows but she never loses the light behind her eyes. You give so much with each tag, there's always something to latch onto and reply about. I smile every time a tag from you hits my inbox!

Hi hello can I just say how much I love tagging with you, and I love the CR we've built with Ginny and Jimmy. It has really blossomed into something awesome (I did not mean to rhyme there, but it has a certain ring to it, so I'll leave it) that I didn't necessarily expect it to. It's just fun to see how developed Ginny is as a character and how much you always give to respond to and to build off of -- you're really great at keeping the momentum of a thread going.

Ginny was always a character I liked, but I never was super into her until I started playing at Poly and saw how damn good you are at playing her. She's got such depth and is so fascinating, and I'm impressed that you've played her since 2008 while still staying so true to her in canon characterization but also showing how she's grown and changed by being in the City!

Tl;dr you're awesome don't change.

Okay so this is where I get really tl;dr. I HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR IT.

I think I've glanced at Poly's taken list a few times over the years, as I do when people link me to game threads anywhere. And every time I've seen Ginny's name anywhere, I've been a little worried. I used to play her and I know the hate she can get. For some reason, she seems to be the least liked I've come across and there's always the worry that someone's going to butcher her. And then I tagged you or you tagged me and I decided to put all that aside and let our CR go where it wanted.

Let me say that you have completely blown apart any preconceived notions I came with. I adore your Ginny. From what little I've seen, you've got the perfect balance of spunk and willingness to fall into the semi-background with her. She's not a whiny child, but she's still young. And she's a Weasley. There's always a certain amount of fire that comes with them, but they are lovable and they care very much about the people around them. I've loved the parallels between her life and Chakotay's here, how they've really hit it off, and her CR with Janeway is absolutely beautiful. In short, if she's grown in the years since she got there, she's still very much the Ginny Weasley I love. You are doing perfectly and I look forward to every thread we have. Keep rockin' it!

i was never very focused on ginny in the books because i was always rping harry and following his motivations like VOLDEMORT U MAJOR DICK but after playing with your girl, she sounds and acts and reminds me of her. the little girl that used to blush and mumble around harry now gets flustered around jim, she has the same steadfast nature and bravery that shone through whenever she helped her friends in canon.

and you are a genuine darling, ellie, so let's always have cr and play and be buddies. ♥

I have really, really enjoyed your Janeway so far! In fact, you and Stella are the sole reasons I decided to try watching Voyager because I was so intrigued and in love with what you guys have brought to Poly. Janeway is incredible, such a force, wicked smart and strong and someone who I think can quickly become something of a role model to someone like Ginny. As it is, Ginny's so reminded of McGonagall in a way when she speaks with her and I love the CR we've got going with them so far. I love how dedicated Janeway is to her crew and duty as captain but manages to relax that at the right moment (speaking about family in the Hall with Ginny!) and uuuugggghhhhh everything with Chakotay is golden and I stalk it and ship it and love it.

You're basically awesome and Janeway is incredible.

I always look forward to tagging with you, and Angela is just such a fun character -- plus, I feel like you've got her voice down perfectly.
