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

Yotsuba eats my feels. All of them.

You do very, very well with a child's voice, I think. Yotsuba *sounds* like a 5-6 year old and I imagine that takes some practice.

[accepted]

Hopefully not all of them, there won't be enough left for her to eat later.

Thank you! I do struggle with her voice and have trouble matching her quirky and childish sides at times, so knowing she still comes across sounding like a child is great.

Yotsuba is so, so precious, and I really loved our thread we had. Your other characters seem great, too - I sometimes see links to hilarious portions of Pascal threads, and Duplica looks really fun as well. Oh and Fuuko also seems adorable whenever I see parts of her threads. Plenty of great things!

[accepted]

Thank you so much! Aang is really fun to play with, the thread with Yotsuba was so adorable. I'm looking forward to any threads we might have in the future!

You seem to do a really good job managing five characters! I have only interacted with Fuuko and Yotsuba and I enjoy them both so much. Especially Yotsuba -- I stalk a lot of her threads too and they are so enjoyable to read!

[accepted]

It's a huge relief to hear that! I tend to worry about balancing all five of them so seriously, thank you. And of course it's great to know I'm making my girls enjoyable to read as well.

I'm really glad I tagged Pascal on the mission log! I hope their CR goes somewhere buteverytimeisaythattosomeonetheydrop.

Please don't drop.

I'm sorry, what?

❤

DON'T EVEN.

I think you already know how much I love Fuuko and Yotsuba, so can I shower love on you for Pascal this time? Because she is just spot-on perfect. For all she's such a zany character, I actually find her something of a challenge to write--not only to get her own particular brand of weird down, but to avoid making her a caricature of herself. You've managed both very well indeed, so have all the kudos, man. ♥♥♥

[castbytheglyph]

Sorry for getting to this like, but thank you so much! I love Pascal's wacky side, but I always worry about balancing that side of her with her other traits. To know I'm managing to pull this off well is a huge confidence boost, so again, thank you!

[lostinmyway]

No problem! (Guess who's also late. :D;;) You should be confident, because she's totally awesome. ♥
