Game-wide HMD/Plotting!
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!
[Feel free to add 4th Wall characters]

• 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.

Comments: My activity may slow within the next month or two due to work starting up again, but I will do my best to keep Zatanna as much of her ever charming presence in Marina as possible.

Brosis!

I realize you have just the one character in the game, but it STILL astounds me how much she is around and how amazing you are at getting her out there and tagging back. I'm sure even with it slower it will still be awesome.

When she first showed up I hadn't seen any YJ yet and had no idea who she was, but it was still really interesting to learn about her through her thread with Xander. I love their CR. And then I slowly started catching episodes each week. In fact episode 19 was probably the third one I watched and so then ALL THE FEELS for Zatanna and I could see where some of her motivations were coming from in game all the better. She's really an amazing character and you picked a hard timeline for her. hehe, awesome. I think it's been really interesting and I find myself wanting to go back and stalk more of her and Robin's early interactions.

I also loved playing Artemis off of her during 4th wall. So many feels again!

Brosis!

Thank you! It's pretty easy to tag around with her because of her nature. The perfect balance of social and shameless. And I'm so glad you got into the show and got to see them on-screen together.

19 really is the hardest episode to take her from, because it's when we see her at her most vulnerable. Beyond the flirty quips and sarcastic comebacks. She's just lost her dad and her home, on top of the whole getting sent to prison part. At the same time, though, it helped her having Robin around because he was there for her back home, and he's here for her now. They're so ridiculously comfortable around each other 99% of the time, it's hard to remember that they've technically only known each other for about a month. All these contrasts have been so much fun to play out.

And I was SO THRILLED to play her off your Artemis and can't wait until she comes back! ALL THE FEELS!

i'm sadly canon blind to the young justice incarnation of zatanna, and one day i will find the time to sit down and watch it, but i am in love with your portrayal of her. she's become one of quinn's closest friends, and i adored the conversation she had with drunk!angel a while back. it was really sobering for me (no pun intended) to have someone outside canon question all those things, because it gave me the chance to reexamine them and take note of how i was applying them to his character. so, thank you for tagging him! XD

all in all, you are a wonderful role player. you keep threads going and are great at tagging back. i'm always thrilled to be in a thread with you, because i know it's one i'm going to be in for the long run, no matter the character i'm replying with. in lieu of being able to come up with anything constructive, i'm just gonna say: keep up the good work. ♥

Yes. You must watch. ~~Just stay away from tumblr. Trust me on this. /sob~~

Her relationship with Quinn is so sweet, and the drunken!Angel conversation had me rolling. One of the fun things about Zee is that she's very blunt when she wants to be, especially if something seems that obvious to her. I'm glad it was able to help give you perspective on your playing.

And thank you! I never like leaving a thread hanging, and will backtag forever simply because I love seeing things though (even if it does nightmares for my inbox, considering the constant new tags I accumulate).

	i will keep that in mind, though thankfully i tend to stay far, far away from fandom in general, because most people just cannot be civil to one another or debate things like adults. nevermind respect that others have different opinions/likes than you. maybe i'm just too mellow and "can't we all just get along?" for the internet, lol.

	/clings! i hope the next few months and your job goes well. i dunno what to say. you're... awesome. i'm pretty canon blind but i can tell you tagging zatanna is always so much fun. you make every thread engaging and easy, and i find her so interesting laksjdf. i'm excited to keep exploring elena and zatanna's relationship. c: (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

/clings back Just let us survive until November, and I think we'll make it!

She is interesting, as I mentioned above, simply because of her canon point. I've always loved Zatanna from the comics, and giving her a slightly different backstory at a younger age was a surprisingly amazing twist the writers of Earth-16 gave us. Elena and Zatanna's relationship is also way exiting to me, too, and I've loved every single thread of theirs.
