HOW'S MY DRIVING?

How's My Driving?


Everyone can use some advice on their RP and writing skills from time to time. For this HMD meme, let's try things a little differently. While I absolutely, firmly believe that the answer to the question, "How am I doing?" can be "You're doing great!" let's leave the total love floods for another meme.

For this HMD meme, if you see your favorite RPer list their characters here and you really want to shower them with love, combine it with specifics. "I love you because..."

Similarly, "You suck. Stop playing," is not appropriate crit either.

Let's all focus on the constructive side of constructive criticism.

∞ Comment with all the journals you RP with (and the communities they're from).
∞ Reply to other people's comments (anon or logged in) with constructive criticism.
∞ Learn from the suggestions and profit!

[geniustheveil]

I've loved the rp I've had with Mac - definitely want more! Your Mac makes me nostalgic for the games. He has that right energy, and I like the way you've fleshed out his background and what drives him to keep moving towards his goals and dreams.

[pyr]

the following are the muses i play the most and, thus, are looking for critique on, though critique on any of my muses is always good. i would love critique, please;

abraham lincoln | abraham lincoln: vampire hunter | 1865 | private hmd
britta perry | community | politically | private hmd
eleventh doctor | doctor who | aintno_grave | private hmd
victor frankenstein | modern au!frankenstein | pyr | private hmd
thor odinson | marvel cinema universe | mjollni | private hmd
sharon carter | marvel | throtteen | private hmd

the rest is here.

[the_new_sexy]

You make me super happy in ways you can't imagine!

The only criticism I have is that sometimes I have difficulty following your train of thought for your character and sometimes I just can't "see" what's going on. Some people prefer limited descriptions, but I thrive on them. My two cents!

Also I miss you. I'm sorry I've been so flaky and absent since school started. :(

[remembermeandrun]

Oh, please, please, please!

My musebox is here: box_of_muse.

Oswin is the main muse I'm looking for critique with (mostly with characterization and voice), but crit for any of the others is completely welcome!

And, be brutal. Please.

[the_new_sexy]

I've only played with your Oswin so far (I'm the slow-moving rude_not_ginger), and she's lovely!

My only criticism is sometimes the cadence of how she speaks doesn't quite come off in her dialogue, and it takes a few readthroughs for me to really see where she was going/saying/etc! Maybe more descriptors for her dialogue (pitch change, tempo change, etc)? Some people hate descriptions, but I thrive on them, personally!

[thetisfortenacious]

Why not. I'm just going to list my three most active muses in this comm.

James T. Kirk » Star Trek XI » thetisfortenacious
Spock » Star Trek XI » spockish
Erica Reyes » Teen Wolf » strongbefore

[drake_wayne]

(also Edgar, but no one’s played with him yet, there.)

[misamisal]

Ohhh myyyy Claire. :3 Though I'm not familiar with his canon I love his character. You play him witty, playful, yet dangerous and you pull all that off excellently. The emotions and character thought within the tags is awesome and really breathes life into the character. In short, you're doing a bang-up job!

Speaking of bang, your sexy scenes are always AMAZING. Creative, fun, emotional, your tags are so much fun to read. :)

bakerstreet & amatomnes → Annie Walker from Covert Affairs.

[tessathesenator]

I love playing with your Annie because you have the voice down so accurately. You've done a great job with her background as well, and I think that really helps keep her in character all the time.

Don't play much in games anymore, so any advice and things to work on would be lovely.

[the_new_sexy]

I think you're wonderful, and I hope you know that!

The only criticism I have for you is that sometimes when we play, I get the feeling that you're not confident in where you'd like to go, or what you want to do, so you pull back. I could be totally off-base, mind, but if you do have some crazy thing you want to do, baby DO IT. You've got your muse's voice down to a T. You deserve to stretch and play with her!

[idealism]

@luceti (and bakerstreet sometimes)

Tsuzuki Asato | idealism | Yami no Matsuei

[tessathesenator]

Here are the muses I use most here at bakerstreet:

ziver | Ziva David → NCIS
alwaysfast | Asami Sato → The Legend of Korra
kidon | Eyal Lavin → Covert Affairs

[The rest of my muses are located at my musebox here.]

[ex_seniorfieldagent456]

I'm enjoying our thread, and I think you've managed to get her voice down pretty well. I've only recently gotten into the series, but I'm almost up to date (beginning of S8) and it's nice to see someone playing Ziva.

Also very pleased you stick with not using contractions with her. It's a personality quirk of hers I kinda like. Keep up the good work.

greenisnteasy | Bruce Banner | MCU, around bakerstreet mainly.

I'm just starting to get my feet wet at DW. Any crit or advice would be appreciated!

Your muse list.. *_*

[but_idontlie]

but_idontlie / Noah 'Puck' Puckerman / Glee

[(Anonymous)]

I think you need to try and stop forcing your AUs onto other people just because you have no interest in current canon. I saw your OOC notes referencing an old player you used to play with as being more quality than anyone else, and frankly, it put me off wanting to attempt tagging with you anymore because it came off as extremely elitist and offensive to any new people you were tagging with. Why bother even trying to continue tagging those you don't deem quality enough for your standards?

You appear to want to write Puck as his characterization is in early Season 1, and ignore any development he has made over the past two seasons. Puck has grown extensively through his canon experiences, right up to relenting the badass attitude to let Quinn and Beiste help him graduate. You seem to ignore all of it. As an up-to-date Glee writer, I found it awkward trying to tag with your character because he seemed viced in the past with no desire to change or accept where canon has come. AU is fine, but keep it to PSL and don't try to force it onto players working in current canon. It's just ultimately rude, and it was annoying to see you blatantly trash a fandom you're still attempting to write in.

[ihazanest]

Eh, why not, I'll bite.
I do most of my playing here on Bakerstreet.

The characters I use most often are Clint here, and also:
domsconsigliere (Arthur - Inception)
justpurecreation (Ariadne - Inception)
neededforger (Eames - Inception)

calmestmind (Charles Xavier - X-Men: First Class)
serene_rage (Erik Lensherr - X-Men: First Class)

aptoautmorior (Hanna Heller - Hanna)
not_catnip (Katniss Everdeen - Hunger Games [book canon])

And many others as seen here

[zombiekillingbb]

I adore Tobi, though I need to get on the ball and tag more with her but, I do adore her.

I have a character I'd love to play off your Clint sometime too if you wouldn't object.

Psi

I currently just play this fellow here.
