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.

I get really nervous when I go to tag people, especially if I don't have contact info for them outside of Hat. I miss out on a lot of logs and threads that are marked "Open" that way, because I get really insecure and start going "But what if it's not open to meeeee" and then I want to go and ask, but the part of me that goes "No that's silly just do it" won't answer when I go "why is that silly" and then the insecurity chimes in with "because obviously no one talks to you so they don't want you to tag"

and this is how I kill games with my poisonous, happiness-ruining presence and crippling insecurities. ._.

But I am working on reaching out! And most of it is indeed Feffles doing the work, because she's HAPPY and OUTGOING. Although Billy is going to end up reviving the old Gryfferin rivalry with Jake.

Yeah, I've definitely had that feeling before, so I totally get you. You just have to remind yourself that if people didn't want to be tagged, they probably wouldn't be posting openly in a public game in the first place.

Also as a side note I've never played with a Feferi before but she seems adorable and she is my patron troll so I'm pretty excited to actually get a chance to!
