✖ HOWS MY DRIVING? ✖

New to the game? New characters? Just a little unsure of how you're doing? That's what this is here for, people.

How it works: Comment here - others will reply to that comment with what they have to say, and hopefully many lulz and happifuntimes will be had. We're encouraging asking questions if you don't know why or how a character got to the point they're at in game, and we're encouraging constructive criticism that isn't:

"Oh, you're so good bb!"
or
"I hate you. Diaf."

So make it good! You only get one shot every other month, right? At any rate, before you go off to comment, remember: You will get comments you agree with, and you will get comments you don't agree with; thus is the way of life. Don't take it personal. Don't get angry and start trolling. These people don't have anything against you as a person — unless, uh, they do, which we won't abide by — and we're all here to have fun, right? So let's act like it.

Anonymous comments have been temporarily enabled in the OOC community for the sake of anonymous crit, but as this privilege was abused last time and the moderators had to intervene, as promised this time around we are keeping logging IP on. We will not be checking the IP-addresses unless things get out of hand, nor will we be sharing them ever, but this is a measure in place to help prevent further abuse of anonymous commenting. If this causes discomfort, most players, as well as the mods, have personal HMDs on their journals. You are also free to contact any moderators privately or by PMing this account.

Go forth and conquer, Cape and Cowl.

Other comments? I'd really like to hear some feedback on how I am handling Seras since her canon update. I've been trying to portray her with some more confidence and aggressiveness, but I'm concerned I might be either not showing enough of that, or too little. Also last HMD someone brought up a concern about the flow of my tags. I've made effort to improve that and I'd like to hear back from that person on that issue.

I also know I've been very out of touch with Boyd lately and I'm hoping my hiatus will let me get my drive for him back and get back to scheming with him like he deserves.

I've only read a few of Seras's threads, but I think you're doing that very nicely! Particularly her log with Alucard where she brings up Jack and what she's done at home — that was very well done, and I could see a lot more confidence in her answers to Alucard.

[newbvampire]

Thank you and I'm really glad that log came out so well. Her interactions with Alucard are always some of the most difficult for me (in a good way) because she's grown so much without him around so trying to find the right footing from which to base reactions always worries me.

Also I owe you a big apology for dropping that plot with Khisanth and Boyd so hard. I managed to get too much on my plate with him and just made a royal mess of it and I'm sorry.

[liebe_krieg]

I like how much more confident Seras has been since her update, but I think I would like to see her more controlled as well. After she got her red outfit she seemed to act a lot more level and in-charge of her bloodlust, while in C&C it seems like it's really easy to get her yelling or threatening to dismember people.

And I hope your hiatus is helpful to you on the Boyd front because I'm looking forward to what you do with him!

[newbvampire]

I'll cut back on it then because what I wanted to show was she's more comfortable with what she's capable of and not simply just giving into her bloodlust. When these situations come up again I'm going to take a few extra minutes and look over my tags again to make sure I'm not over doing it again. Also I think part of the problem is me simply having to break some habits of how I've played her over the last couple of years.

Thanks for the crit it was exactly the sort of feedback I needed.
