damned HMD Meme

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW RULES BEFORE POSTING.

1. POSTING TO THIS MEME IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. This means that if someone chooses not to participate, you must respect that decision and leave their characters out of any crit you post. Conversely, if you do choose to post your character(s) to the meme, you must accept all constructive input you receive. You do not have to agree with everyone's crit; however, any replies you post are expected to be courteous and respectful.

2. NO UNCONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS. Regardless of the kind of input you're giving, be it reinforcement of something positive or calling attention to something questionable, you must ALWAYS give concrete reasons for why you feel the way you do. "Because," "due to," and "since" are examples of the kind of vocabulary you should use in your feedback. You are also, of course, expected to be courteous and respectful toward your fellow players.

3. PROHIBITED CONTENT IN COMMENTS:

• Unconstructive input, be it negative or positive
• Breaking any rules set by the original input request
• Malicious or sarcastic wording/emoting
• Threats or demands
• Falsification of facts
• Spamming

The above apply both to input givers and input receivers. Any comments containing the above will be subject to being deleted, frozen, or screened, and their posters will be subject to penalties.

IF YOU SEE ANY COMMENTS CONTAINING ANY OF THE ABOVE ISSUES, please do not reply to them and instead notify one of the Head Mods immediately.

4. IP LOGGING IS TURNED ON. However, Court and I are the only people who will be able to see the IPs, and we will absolutely not share this information with anyone. The logging will only be used to identify rule-breakers, should the need arise.

5. PLEASE USE THE TEMPLATE BELOW FOR YOUR INPUT REQUEST. If you would like to specify certain guidelines, explain yourself, or ask for focus on a particular aspect of your playing, feel free to do so in the "other" section. Remember: if you're uncomfortable with receiving input in a public setting or if you'd like to give Anons the option of giving you input without their IP being logged, you are perfectly welcome to specify your preferences and link people to your character's personal HMD.

Name/Handle:
Character(s) Played: Character Name (char_username), Character Name (char_username)
Anon input allowed?: Y/N
Other: (optional)

<b>Name/Handle:</b> <b>Character(s) Played:</b> Character Name (<lj site="livejournal.com" user="char_username">), Character Name (<lj site="livejournal.com" user="char_username">) <b>Anon input allowed?:</b> Y/N <b>Other:</b> (optional)

I'm hopeful that no significant problems will arise, but if they do, I am signed in as "Scars of Ishbal" on AIM. If you have any questions, concerns, or reports about the meme, please do not hesitate to bring them to me or Court (AIM: that damn showy).

Thank you!

Name/Handle: Angelina (lady_angelina)
Character(s) Played: Manfred von Karma (perfectrecord)
Anon input allowed?: Y
Other: I welcome crit on anything, both IC and OOC matters. I'm especially interested in crit on writing and ICness/characterization. Also, if you've threaded with me before, I'd especially love to get your feedback on how I can be a better threadmate.

I do know my biggest Achilles heel now is activity. XD; I'm also working on confidence and tl;dr prose issues.

Also, vK has an HMD post (http://perfectrecord.livejournal.com/840.html) at the top of his journal, anon-enabled and IP-logging-disabled, if you'd prefer to use that. There's also my thread (http://hmd-me.livejournal.com/669.html?thread=228253#t228253) in the most recent LJ-wide hmd_me meme, if you're more comfortable with an HMD post that I have absolutely no control over.

As always, thank you in advance. <3

You know how I used to like your vK because I could read the threads and enjoy them? Well now that I've played in one of them, I really, really like vK. I loved the Guybrush/vK thread (boy, it only took me four characters to finally get a thread with you). You don't need to change a thing to be a fun threadmate- vK's intellect and low tolerance for stupidity made for a great character clash, and those sorts of interactions are gold.

Thanks, bb! <3 That really does mean a lot to me because I've always admired your writing for its quality, its warmth, and its sense of humor -- and you OOCly, because you're so kind and a great person to work with! :D

I guess mainly, I want to make sure that aside from posting speed (which I acknowledge is definitely on the slow end of the spectrum), that there aren't little things I do that make threading less fun for anyone. I do a lot of OOC communication to make sure that I'm understanding what's going on, but sometimes I worry that I use it too much as a veritable crutch. Annnnd, I can get a little OCD about certain things. >.> (Like muse, like mun? XD ) But I wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything else beyond that. ^__^

I'm also glad you had fun with the Guybrush/vK thread, too! :D Yes, Guybrush was just the right one to slide in that seat, totally subverting vK's entitlement complex (which was exactly what I was hoping would happen there). <33333 He's already filed him away as "foolish but potentially useful," so the pirate had better keep his wits about him... >:3

And in fact... you've unknowingly just brought to light something else I need to keep in mind. I do overplan him for things, which leaves him unavailable for random encounters and new CR and such. =X I can count on the fingers of my left hand the number of times I've actually posted him as Free, which is kind of sad, so I might have to do it more often! :3 And in fact, getting him with one of your other guys could lead to some pretty interesting meetings... (or if I ever re-developed a muse for Lucca and got her accepted in the game, she would probably have a lot of fun geeking it up with Edgar while being secretly flattered by his chivalry :3 ).
