Our First HMD on DW!

It's your regularly-scheduled HMD!

This is a post where you can see how you're doing in the eyes of your fellow roleplayers. This can be how well you're playing your character, as well as playing in general.

1. You can post your character, their journal, and their canon in any way that suits you.

2. Be open minded, no one is above learning to be better, not even the mods.

3. Give some constructive criticism! Do it in journal or anon if you feel more comfortable. Absolutely positively no bashing and being unhelpful. On the other hand, don't take crit as a clue to OMG LEAVE AND NEVAR COME BACK or reason it all away as character development without listening to it. Improving is a good thing!

4. It's up to you to let people know what you think. This is your chance to tell people what you think of how they're playing, Even if you don't know the series, you can tell a player how you view the character based on how you've played them and they can compare it to canon. This can be in the form of, "Post moaaaar~" or "We never finish plots! :<" or even "You do a good job at following HP canon!"

5. This is NOT MANDATORY. It is however, HIGHLY encouraged for everyone to participate in. Sometimes it's helpful to get input from people who have seen you in action, so try not to be afraid of it. You might hear good things as well!

6. You guys are full of love, feel free to say that you like someone's character. Just do it constructively, give reasons why you like the character, no just "I love your Muse and you're the best one ever!" Everyone has room for improvement.

7. Please don't spam. We love you, but there are plenty of other places for that!

8. There is a mod hmd for crit regarding us specifically and a general game hmd for anything from "Too many of you are whores and you don't use enough British slang" to "We want more crack events '^' ". So this is for general stuff you'd like to see in the game from fellow players (without pointing fingers) as well as how you'd like to see the game improve how it's run.

H'okay, nitpicky, something I've noticed, etc etc, @_@

But on occasion I have noticed that Twilight and Mami tend to sound really similar when it comes to 'Study hard, pass your exams". As I'm not familiar with Mami's canon, I don't know if this is a thing that can be helped, or if they really are that similar. :|a

Yeah, you're right about that. :|a The trouble is Mami doesn't get a whole lot of "ordinary girl" development in canon, but she generally plays the wise mentor type, so that's generally how I've been translating it.

She's definitely more socially apt than Twilight, though, so I'll try and work on getting them differentiated o7

Normally I think you're very good at making even your shortest tags easy enough to respond to, but that's not usually the case with Mami. I feel like in most of my threads with her, you're trying to just have her say whatever's important and then close the conversation ASAP (and I don't get the impression that that's an intentional character choice).
witchafterall: (We'll go with that)

[personal profile] witchafterall 2012-01-16 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, definitely not intentional.

Out of all my characters, I definitely feel the shakiest with Mami's voice and have the least amount of... extraneous headcanon, which is probably what leads to that issue. So thanks for bringing that up; I will definitely try and work on fleshing her out some more.

let's hmd with a character that has facial expressions other than 8| shall we

[personal profile] fashioneighsta 2012-01-16 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I suspected it was something like that. I think coming up with more headcanon would be hugely helpful, and with a character like her there's a lot of potential!

I think my main problem is that playing Amelia (and Alfred) and coming up with completely trivial headcanon for any given thing is just so easy for me, it's completely spoiled me for actually having to put any effort in. 8(

But I recognize this is something I need to work on '^'9
