Game-wide HMD
Welcome to the MarinaNova HMD! This is optional, but encouraged.

• List your characters for which you'd like feedback. We have a form below if you like forms!

• Leave your tactful and considered thoughts, questions, concerns, praise, suggestions, etc. for others.

We strongly encourage you to make this a dialogue. Find out what went into actions, decisions, and characterization and you may come to understand it better. Hopefully, you'll also be in the best position to clearly communicate your own concerns. Results will be more satisfactory for everyone if one person isn't on the offensive while the other is on the defensive.

Avoid leaving someone a wall of text. This can be intimidating even with the most careful of wording and best of intentions.

Don't gang up on someone. You may have a different way of wording something, but unless you have something new to contribute, consider letting it go if there are already others saying it.

Be constructive and considerate.

• Since there is no plotting meme during months with an HMD, please feel free to do that here too.

• Contact a mod if you have any problems.

Anonymous commenting is on. It will be turned off if there is abuse.

Please feel welcome to leave game and mod feedback and suggestions here.

Comments: I'm just going to do general comments because what I have to say applies to all my guys across the board. Incoming tl;dr, sorry.

So, for the past few months I've been struggling horribly with my tagging motivation and overall RP drive. Part of this, no doubt, is due to the fact that I took essentially two back-to-back vacations in February and March, so I didn't really get caught up from one before the other and then things snowballed until I felt hopelessly lost. Part of it is also because another game I've been in for ages closed at the end of February, and that grievously wounded my RP drive all on its own. So right now I'm at the point where I feel like I've missed out on so much that I have no idea where to jump back in.

Let me qualify all that by saying that I have no intention of leaving the game right now, with any of my characters. I absolutely love playing here and I want to hang in there. What I might do, is write March off as a loss if I have to, and simply focus on building some new things going forward. So this is where I say that I'm very open to plotting, new CR, old CR - I'm really genuinely open to anything, so if there is anything at all you would like to do, please hit me up!

And, of course, all comments and questions are absolutely welcomed.

1) I love your Data always and forever and would probably love your others if I knew their canons.

2) Writing March off might help with the stress levels and worry. I'm thinking of doing the same myself, especially with Helen and her grumpiness re: loss issues. Maybe we can still have bonding times with my girls and Data, especially re: Picard for Helen and re: feelings and things for Deanna.

1) ♥ I must say in turn that I adore your ladies, because I do.

2) Yeah, I think it would be best. I'm still tagging the things I had, no question there, but I think working myself into a frenzy trying to make AC is going to undermine my RP drive further, such as it is. I would absolutely love to have both of them bounce off of him. Soon as I suss out a post, maybe that can be done... or on a mingle that presents itself. Or somewhere. I don't know, but I'm totally up for it!

1) ♥♥♥ forever

2) I'm pretty much doing that with Helen, too, so I feel this pain. But yes, absolutely! I'm planning an open post for Helen either today or tomorrow with her going to plant a few flowers for Jean-Luc, James, and Ashley. I would be more than happy for her to run into Data either there or on her way to or from or something. She might contact him to see how he's doing, but I haven't planned the entire thing out yet. So that's definitely an option, too. But I am up for pretty much anything.

	HAH well that is a bit of a specific, possibly hard to accommodate exactly request. But they need some CR, for sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So fun story. Over a year ago, a game that I loved closed down very suddenly. My characters were all in really interesting cases with really good CR that was suddenly ripped away and I was devastated. I tried to keep playing, but my interest in games was fast gone. Another game fizzled to a premature close half a month later and I quit RP because it was stupid.

A few months after quitting, I started itching to play again. But I thought no. I was spending less time on the internet, it was good for me to not be so focused on the gaming. Well, my resolve broke and here I am.

What I'm trying to say is, there is nothing wrong with taking a bit of mental restock time. It happens to the best of us.

That being said, I think Data is amazing and I want him to meet everyone. I guess he's met Martha already, but Sarah won't know what to do with him because... robot... and Mal will freak out because he's Mal.

Yeah, it certainly does happen. I'm still in other games, but when the one you've been in for years shuts down, they can only help you through it so much. I am hanging on, though, and hopefully the restock time is coming to a close. Admittedly, it's been going on for a few months, since they announced the closing in January.

♥ I would absolutely love to play Data off any of yours! I did really enjoy the one whole thread he had with Martha, so there should certainly be many more of those. And I love both Labyrinth and Firefly/Serenity, so clearly these are things that need to happen.

	Well I wish you all the luck in the world and I understand your pain. Martha/Data was awesome. And if he wants to deal with tribbles at all, Mal or Sarah are at your beck and call. (Or Martha if you prefer.) (Reply to this) (Parent)
