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.

Just swinging by to comment on Reid and Chuck since they're the characters I feel most qualified to say anything about!

Okay, so I guess I don't have anything substantial to say about Chuck, but she's so sweet and I need more her and Nathan (which would involve me tagging, wouldn't it?). She really got to him with the dream thing and the letting-him-help-her-move thing, so he likes her.

Your Reid is basically the reason I'm here and continuing to be here. I don't think I've stalked all of his threads, but from what I've seen, you're having him cope in a way that feels organic. You've made it clear enough that he's not okay-okay and might not be for some time (or ever). At the same time, you've had him pull himself together and act okay in an attempt to get on with existence. Maybe Nathan thinks Reid is generally okay--although his version of "okay" differs from most, I think--but I do get the impression from the way you're writing him that it's mostly surface okay-ness.

tl;dr Keep rocking it. I'm digging the tension between Reid and Nathan.

I'm so happy to hear that! I always wonder about Reid because yes, sometimes I play him as more okay than he should be but he's also very emotionally... floppy. So maybe that's really okay and now you're saying it is okay! I shall rest easy and take your word for it.

The tension with Reid and Nathan is basically the follow-up to the episode I always wanted and never got, so thank you for eternity for facilitating that! I too want a lot more Nathan and Chuck, because oh wow does she ever just want to wrap him up and keep him safe from himself.
