Hi, and welcome to FH's third gamewide How's My Driving meme.

Anon commenting is on and IP logging is off, though if we seem to have issues with trolling or spam, we may turn it back on to control that. We trust you guys to be grown-ups here, so we're not expecting problems, but if a discussion gets out of hand or it looks like a non-player has found their way in and you'd like us to step in, please ping us in the OOC thread.

Here's how it works:

Ping in with your character journals (it's up to you whether you use one for each character you'd like critique on, or just ping in once and list all the applicable characters). Other players will reply with constructive criticism, either logged-in or anonymously.

Participating is purely voluntary, and players are welcome to specify whether they're open to anon replies, or would only like replies from logged-in players; please respect that when replying. You're also welcome to note specific areas/subjects you'd like crit on or would rather not discuss.

If you'd like screened replies, you're welcome to make a post in one of your character journals with the settings exactly as you like them, then ping into the meme with a link to that post. Shout out in the OOC thread, and we'll freeze replies to your comment if you wish, so that all crit is directed back to your personal post.

We hope this works out for everyone!

I would like to see your characters talk to people outside of their groups a little more. It feels like Sookie is off-hands to new friendships because she's got her own circle and Katniss talks to Wesley and not really many other people. I love your characters and would like to have more of a chance to interact with them but I'm not in either of the groups that you ordinarily play with and so I find it hard to approach your girls.

I'll cop, immediately, to the fact that Katniss is hard to play, and I struggle with that, so thank you for bringing it up. She gets tossed into the odd common room, and I have a hard time getting into her headspace on like, the average 'I'm tired after work and want to play, who should I play?' day. But yes, that's something I'm working on, so thank you for saying as much.

As far as Sookie goes, I'm not entirely sure what to say about her being off-limits. I haven't been that great about getting her out into common rooms, which is something I can definitely work on -- that's mostly RL plus her being here for long enough that I've gotten comfortable with where she is. But I do want to note that I have been making an effort to ping her outside of like, Bobby/Emma/Karla/Kennedy/the usual go-to plot crew, because I'm conscious of that.

Alsoooooo, omg, I know you called out those two specifically, but I wanna note that Ramona's brand new and doesn't have established friends or a group of them yet, so that's where my new friend-making energy is going, you know? But thank you for bringing that to my attention, and I'll make more of an effort to get Katniss and Sookie both out of their/my comfort zone(s). :D
