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.

YOU. you and your freaking wonderful characters.

i know i've gushed at you before but now i get to do it in depth and it's going to be scary long and idec. but angel is 100% the most perfect angel i've ever read, in the history of ever. not only have you put frickin thought into why his accent disappeared (which, btw when i read that? i was lolling to myself because of COURSE you would think of that!) you're just-- idk, it kind of makes me angry because i want to know all of these layers but you're so damn good at angel that you keep them all tucked underneath his stupid dumb stoic facade and while i want faith to know all of this stuff because i get to see it in narrative tags, i'm also so happy that he almost never spills anything, either. and then you go and get him drunk and he can't help but get all irish on everyone and it's ten times better. AND you and kristi make me feasibly believe in buffy and angel as a ship whereas normally i just romanticize it and figure it would annoy me if it were ever to really happen. gah. okay. it wasn't as long as i expected. moving along...

sookie's amazing. she's a perfect blend of sweetie with a heart of gold and the kind of girl that would give you the shirt off her back and holy crap this girl is going to kill me with a stare oh god where can i hide? and i LOVED that she blasted sophie once she got some strength back. DAMN was that the best ever. yes. so much yes.

and what can i say about quinn? the fact that you're kind of giving her a second life here has been really wonderful to follow. i'm excited to delve into her religion more, and the way she and cas met is one of my favorite cas threads, bar none. and i'm so excited that while she's amazed that she's met an angel, she treats him like anyone else. i love your quinn all around, and it makes me want to bring santana here so badly (if i wasn't crap at playing one muse in two places, i probably would app san in a heartbeat, btw), but i'm also really happy that quinn's CR with cas is going to be really interesting. it's a little selfish, because a lot of times people want to play with their character being in awe of the angel guy 24/7 and it's refreshing for me (and kind of hilarious overall) that he's making legit friends with a high school cheerleader xD

it just made sense to me, especially that joss dropped him in new freakin' york during one of the high points of anti-irish anti-irish sentiment in america - not to mention one of the hot spots for it. i thought, yeah, of course he would learn how to talk without it so people would leave him the fuck alone. being harrassed for being irish wouldn't have made him too happy while trying to cope with suddenly having a soul again. ngl, i've also sat down and figured out which fourteen wars he's seen wrt where canon says he was at the time and which ones would've been most relevant to him. basically, when you give a history major a character with historical roots... this could be a give a mouse a cookie spin off, i feel.

i really loved that thread, too. it was nice for her to actually get hurt and show that yes, while you are a little bad ass in a pretty blonde bottle, vampires are still stronger and faster than you and if you're not careful, your ass can and will get owned. also getting to show how she can be her own lethal weapon when given the chance is fantastic, too. so really, thank you for bringing sophie-anne in for that. ♥

man, it is so nice to get to explore the positive aspects of quinn's religious side, since canon seems to focus on the negative. it's nice and challenging, and an aspect of her character i don't get to explore as often. and i'm glad that i'm giving you the opportunity to flex your cas wings (pun totally intended) in a different way, too.
