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.

Helix is really great. I love threading with him. Obviously one couldn't really say if he was "IC" due to him being an OC, but he's a consistent character, which is just as good in my opinion.

The only one of your fourth wall kids I threaded with was Sollux. While I think you have a good grasp on his characterization and voice, I have to say I disagree with your choice to type his quirk out in voice. I understand your reasoning for doing it since it appears that way in walkarounds and dialoglogs, but it's distracting, and even though spoken quirks have been lampshaded before (such as Latula's in the most recent walkaround) they don't really make much sense from a logical standpoint. So.

But aside from that I did enjoy playing with him!

First off, I greatly appreciate your honesty about Sollux and to be honest I was kinda feeling that part way through playing him. Where I have fun playing out his quirk, it really did seem more and more out of place. I stuck to my guns though, because I'd said I would. But next time I'll leave the quirk to text conversations only! At first I was thinking it helped convey the lisp more? A 2 in my mind reads as a lisp easier than trying to type out a "listhp" but, yeah I definitely agree with you.

I'm glad you had fun though and thank you for threading with me and him ♥

That said, I'm glad you enjoy Helix and that I've got to thread with you so often. I love the dynamic that has sprung up with our kids and I hope to continue to have awesome CR with you! "Consistent" is also a really great word to hear, just sayin'.
