A number of you passed the activity check, but barely. (You know who you are.) Try to pick things up, as it's no fun to character-squat.

If there are any mistakes here, please let us know! Additionally, if your character was removed and you're still active, feel free to appeal to one of us about keeping your character. However, please remember next time to stay active and post to the Activity Check. Thank you!

And as always:

HMD

How's My Driving?

This is a crit post for both the community and game and for your characters. If you have something you'd like to see us improve upon with the game, PLEASE TELL US HERE! Anon commenting is on, but if anything gets really nasty there will be warnings and thread-freezing. This isn't required but everyone is encouraged to take advantage of the advice of your fellow players!

Just some pointers: no taking cheap shots, no dragging personal issues into things and for the love of all that is wise and great, please double check your replies and comments before posting them. Sometimes a change in phrasing can make all the difference between a helpful tone and a condescending one.

ALSO ALSO: We'd like to clarify that HMD means HMD- which means it's okay to have both good and bad crit. Some people have expressed concerns about posting good/bad crit when a character already has bad/good crit posted. We'd like to encourage you guys to do it anyway! You can drive well or badly, and even good drivers make mistakes. So give it a try \o

Willow Rosenberg | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | jewitch --> Currently hiatused. There is a chance I will be bringing her back in the next cycle after a canon update. There is a chance I will not.

Toshizo Hijikata | Hakuouki | zumo --> Too tsun? Not scowly enough? Please share! He is still my newbie at this point.

Both do have private HMDs if you are more comfortable with that.

So smooth and so smart
He's abducted my heart
And I'm falling apart
From the looks I receive
From those eyes I can't leave
Well you can say I'm naive
But he told me to believe

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

I'LL JUST TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT THEN, SHALL I

[(Anonymous)]

hi jess-a-roo. this is aly in my personal account, in case the screen-name throws you for a loop.

i don't know anything about hakuouki so i'm going to set that aside for a moment and wallow in my ignorance. also, i want to once again stress everything i mentioned on your plurk a while ago. no matter how many gushingly content things i'm about to say about willow, please never feel beholden to keep a character just because they're loved and enjoyed by other people. the first priority is always you, your life, and your fun-level within the game. no one should ever be disappointed in you for making the call to drop a character if dropping a character is what you need to do.

that said, i am oh-so-grateful for your willow. she is both sentimental and sensible. she is riddled with willow-esque guiltapalooza. she's vibrant and sweet without losing her sauciness. btvs characters always seem to come with the notorious challenge of balancng many potentially-conflicting traits but you've smoothed them into a working and well-oiled machine when it comes to willow's characterization in luceti. add on to that the additional challenge of tagging with a castmate who has developed beyond an original canon point like buffy has and i recognize that fitting willow into luceti can be daunting. however, i've remained impressed with the choices you've made. i think it's especially fascinating to watch willow tentatively feel her way back into magic via the spirits and teaching haruhi about her own magic.

i'm also pretty interested in the possibility of a canon-update. are you perhaps thinking that a post-s7 willow will be more self-assured and perhaps easier to branch out with? if you ever want a sounding board and someone to discuss these possibilities with, just shoot me a plurk sometime! there's little i like more than putting on my pointdexter glasses and waxing critical about what happens when and why in any good story, btvs included.

thirdly, i would like to just briefly state that you've been very outgoing and fun and kind in an ooc context. regardless of whether you end up staying in the cast, i want you to know that you're certainly loved for more than just your willow.

[zumo]

Oh you I love you to bits as well, thank you for this <3

But YES, I am thinking post-series Willow would be better and will definitely be plurking all my rambly thoughts on that in the future! o7

[all7seas]

Willow is so fun to thread with! I am going to have to throw Dru into the mix with her more. I love her threads with Jack of course!

[zumo]

Aww thank you very much! If she survives my Giant Hiatus of Doom, we can definitely do this!

[quicktoanger]

Hey. Hey you. We need to do stuff together more often.

WHAT SAY YOU

Seriously, your Willow is so fantastic and so perfectly spot on and I love it to death and maybe stalk her a little

[zumo]

YES and as I've said up there, if Willow survives her hiatus of death we can definitely do more!

IF NOT idk Hijikata is going on that zombie draft.
