How's My Driving?

[taxonmods]

Time flies when you're having fun! It's been two whole months since we had our first Taxon HMD, and now here we are again, inviting you to ask for concrit from your fellow roleplayers :)

Thus, if you wish to participate: please comment here with the names of the characters you play and others will reply with their feedback- and it's obviously a given that this feedback will be helpful, constructive and respectful. Also, as amazing as getting ILU comments is, it's nice to hear why, and what we're doing right, just as much as criticism needs to be constructive.

So have at it. :D

Ball rolling get!

[valaunbound]

Okay, so I know I've been away a lot recently and I've dropped a few threads because of it, so this is where, as well as crit, you can shout at me and shove me at threads you really wanted to continue, because I've lost track. I sowwy :(

Vala Mal Doran → valaunbound → Stargate; SG-1
Seven of Nine → seven_of_9 → Star Trek; Voyager
Leonard Shelby → tattooedfacts → Memento
River Song → songofspoilers → Doctor Who

[mdrwngnftwr13.livejournal.com]

Duuuuuuuuude, after lurking in reading your threads with Leonard in them, I ended up getting the movie from the library, watched it and was freaking blown away how spot on he was.

Jane = Win. All there is to it.

[fudgingkillyou.livejournal.com]

Pretty much echoing Mary exactly, after seeing Leonard, I totally went and rented Memento and he's awesome. Awesomesauce. Yes.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

ALRIGHTY.

From what I dimly recall of Memento you are brilliant at Leonard, and I think you're pretty awesome for playing him, considering his 'condition'-- he's great to read, and your writing is always fantastic.

VALA MY GOD. She cracks me up. You make me want to watch Stargate-- I may have to buy her first season sometime, if you tell me which one that is. She is so entertaining, I love her.

Seven I have no clue about her canon, but I enjoy the way she speaks, and River has always been scarily accurate considering there's only one episode of canon to go on.

In conclusion: FINE WORK MADAM.

[biverbam.livejournal.com]

It's been so long since I've watched SG-1, but I love your Vala. She reminds me of all the reasons she was my favorite, with her irreverence and flirtation and OMGBORED ENTERTAIN ME fits.

It's also been a long LONG time since I've seen any ST:V, but. So happy to see Seven. ALSO, she and River ought to hang out while she's wee and tiny. River has a strange way of being good with small children.

Reserving comment on the other two because I haven't seen Memento or River's season of DW (yet).


ALSO OMG you are fast with the commenting thank you for doing the permissions. ♥

[intuitivewiccan.livejournal.com]

I'm not familiar with much of Vala's canon because I stopped watching Stargate rather early on, but she cracks me up nonetheless and I love her.

Leonard Shelby is awesome, and I imagine he'd be a hard character to play, so you get extra props for that alone.

I love your River, and am glad she gets some attention.

I'm not familiar with Star Trek Voyager, but still, Seven of Nine is great! Very unique, very fun to read.

Re: Ball rolling get!

[hearts-of-gold.livejournal.com]

Vala continues to impress and amuse! As does Seven of Nine when she's surfaced, and the contrast between the two of them and your other characters really shows good range. I can't wait to see more of all of their wacky antics!

IS IT A KOOSH BALL?

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

SO the only person I can comment on is Vala, who I have not played with but have gleefully stalked, hi I swear I'm not creepy.

I LOVE YOUR VALA. I'm a huge SG1 fan from back in the day-- SGA too, sob I'm just a Stargate fiend all around-- and your Vala is spot on. Hilarious and amazing and yes, nothing but love.

[needtoruleit.livejournal.com]

/nervous

Have at it.

Dean Winchester - fudgingkillyou
Billy / Dr. Horrible - needtoruleit

[mdrwngnftwr13.livejournal.com]

/judges so terribly. SO TERRIBLY

Fluffy, you are the best Dean my peoples have had the pleasure of interacting with. Seriously. It's like you are tapped into the writers' brains and stealing from them. But not Sera Gamble because she sucks. I can hear him say everything you write and you write the woobie Dean so well, I get all puppy-faced and wibbly when he is sad.

And I love your Dr. Horrible. I blame you for my watching it at this particular moment. He's got the adorable awkwardness of Billy and the attempting to be a supervillian awkwardness of Dr. Horrible. Again with the hearing everything he's saying.

[mdrwngnftwr13.livejournal.com]

Gained a couple people since the last time. lol. GOD TAXON WHY ARE YOU LIKE COCAINE TO MEEEEE

Willow Rosenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - inked_wiccan
Anna Milton (Supernatural) - forgot_myself
Melaka Fray (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - melakafray13
Cassie Hack (Hack/Slash) - slasher_slayer
Molly Hayes (Runaways) - shes_powerful

[fudgingkillyou.livejournal.com]

FWEE. Your Anna? Awesome. Best Anna I've seen. There's a lot of them lurking around The Pit (a.k.a. sixwordstories) and they're not nearly as right as yours. It's hard to get in character with a character that's only had like four episodes, but you've managed it. Kudos~

ALSO CASSIE FFF. I want to play Vlad to your Cassie, I just have to find the right inspiration. Argh.

The others I'm not going to attempt 'cause I have no idea how they should be played, but I like them, so... xD;

[justspies.livejournal.com]

This is yet another reminder to me that I really need to app some new characters. It's just a question of who. Anyway, just the one for now.

Tara Maclay (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - intuitivewiccan

[mdrwngnftwr13.livejournal.com]

GEORGIA COUGH COUGH

<333333333 So much love for your Tara. I've seen, maybe, one other Tara, never interacted with her, but she just didn't feel....right. But your Tara is spot on. Three shades of perfect and I just wanna snuggle her.

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

HOKAY here are mine:

Buffy Summers likeajoan
Xander Harris demonmagnetism
Malcolm Reynolds skyfrome

I only just got Nico, so I'm not putting her up here. MY GOAL for the immediate future is to be more active with Mal, I know I've been sucking with him lately. But yes PLZ HAVE AT.

[fudgingkillyou.livejournal.com]

Xander and Dean need to do more. :| I have nothing but praises for both Buffy and Xander, but since I haven't seen BtVS, I probably shouldn't be taken too seriously. But I do know Buffy's got a good friendship going on with Dean, and I love the joking the two of them have.

ALSO UHM, MOAR BILLY/MAL INTERACTION PLZ. ;;

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...I've been very non-existent. But I may as well, in case there's any comments you do have other than, you know, being around.

Ianto Jones||damnfinecoffee
Asher of Restharven||innocentmage

And it would help if I listed the right journals. /fails

[biverbam.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen Ianto since I joined, BUT. When I was stalking Taxon up before applying, I remember his post with taking down everyone's information and it was both a) priceless and b) perfectly IC.

fff I wish I had more I could say besides that, but ♥ I look forward to more Ianto and Asher (who I don't know at all, but the way you write makes him so interesting besides that not knowing doesn't matter much).

[biverbam.livejournal.com]

/NERVOUSEST

River Tam | biverbam


idk I feel like I have been failing really hard on things like activity and braining good tags with her being off her meds for so long and that she's too "omg whears mah Simonnnnn" and ETC. So. Am I doin' it wrong? What can I do to make the wrong less so?

(ps: permissions (http://biverbam.livejournal.com/10375.html) are love really. I'm extra super nervous tagging with characters that I don't know what is/isn't kosher an akdfaldjfffff please fill it out if you haven't? /demanding)

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

DON'T BE NERVOUS, your River is brilliant. You have her special brand of crazy down SO well (especially considering how unique and odd her voice is) and I need to get Mal out more to interact with her. Characterization aside, I really like the way you write too, so well done there.

/GOES TO DO PERMISSIONS NOW.

[hearts-of-gold.livejournal.com]

Just the one from me!

Inara Serra - hearts_of_gold

She also has a persistent anon non-IP-logged concrit post over here (http://hearts-of-gold.livejournal.com/1439.html) for those in-between-HMDs times for when something really bugs and you just want to get it out there right away :)

Overall she's not as active over here as I'd like her to be, a direct side effect of living like a hermit in her shuttle on account of vampire attack like the one time she tried to go out. So here's hoping for more excuses reasons to get her out there going forward >D

[fudgingkillyou.livejournal.com]

Dean is willing to help with the reasons on getting her out into the open. He likes hanging out with her and is expecting that fruit basket and doesn't want her to be all terrified of vampire attacks.

Not much in the way of concrit, mostly 'cause I don't know the canon, but I do like her a lot and I'd love to do more stuff with her. :3

[lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com]

/pokes head in

lilgreasemonkey Kaylee Frye
traveling_rose Rose Tyler
omnomfries Ruby (S3 style only now, still not reintroduced :<)

btw they have all-seasons HMD posts sticky'd on their LJs

[mdrwngnftwr13.livejournal.com]

Kaylee is spot freaking on. Seriously. I giggle and squee a little whenever I read her posts. I'm afraid I have nothing for Rose. I've seen, maybe...two episodes of Doctor Who, but she's English, so there is a percentage of love for her.

And I hate Ruby with a fiery, angry passion, and I'm sure that I'll love/hate her when you reintroduce her, so it will mean you're doing a good job if she makes me rage. I am crazy like that.

[notcursed.livejournal.com]

/rolls in from a hill in Halifax

Castiel (deperditio)
Toby Logan (notcursed)
Cian McKenna (diedwithit)
Dexter McDuff (dexmcduff)
Daniel Jackson (xthchance)

[mdrwngnftwr13.livejournal.com]

I've not interacted much with the last three, but I love love love love love, (x infinity) Castiel and Toby.

Toby is made of blue-eyed Canadian adorable and I just want to shrink him and put him in my pocket or something, man. I need to throw more people at him. Thinking of Cassie, cause the mindfuckage would be awesome and I am a monster.

And your Castiel is made of so much win, it's hard to fully put it into words. He's talkative and laconic all at once. His few words speaking volumes and I stalk all and every Dean/Cas thread religiously. The interactions between Castiel and Dean are absolutely perfect and I love you for it. Well, I love you for other things, but your awesome, awesome work with Fluffy is a good part of it.

[therealcaptjack.livejournal.com]

Right... because I've been horribly active since joining. *shifty-glance*

But anyway. Have at it:

Jack Harkness | therealcaptjack

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

From the little we have threaded, I've really enjoyed your Jack. I'd just like to see more of you, really, and since you're back now I'm hoping that can be resolved!

[stealth-shot.livejournal.com]

Zoe Washburne [stealth_shot]

Yes, I know she needs to be more active. I apologize for the fail on that .__.

[demonmagnetism.livejournal.com]

Your Zoe is marvellous-- she's stoic, but still with a sense of deadpan humor that's really hard to capture, and you're great at it. I need to be more active with Mal too, so yay for universal fail. xD

[aesthetic_mojo]

Go for it, gimme your worst!

*cuddles kittens and looks vulnerable*

[demonmagnetism.livejournal.com]

WELL because Charlotte is an OC it's a little tricky to judge her for being in character obviously, but I will say that I always really enjoy playing with her (whether it's Buffy or Xander), and she's a v. interesting character, fun, complex and developed so kudos there!

[erudite-watcher.livejournal.com]

Have a Giles, why don't you. Give me your worst (and best?)

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

GILESSSSSSS. ♥

I think before this place I had Cordy interact with your Giles. WHEN HE WAS DRINKING SCOTCH. MAN I LOVE YOU!

[glowingseer.livejournal.com]

Cordelia (glowingseer)

Please be gentle! ♥

[demonmagnetism.livejournal.com]

Your Cordelia is just fabulous. I have nothing constructive to say. That's all. xD ♥

[egregiouslypink.livejournal.com]

CLEARLY I SHOULD NOT GO OUT FOR THE EVENING EVER AGAIN

Late to this party, sob.

I AM NEW I KNOW and have been failing on tags, which will end as soon as my internet stops randomly deciding it just... doesn't feel like working. :/

ANYWAY

Dawn Summers [tothelibrary]
Faith Lehane [thesecondslayer]

GO idk, man.

[mdrwngnftwr13.livejournal.com]

SOB WHY MUST I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

Seriously. Your Faith is hard yet still entertaining and I want to protect Dean from her because she is a Man-eater. /Random 80's musical interlude. I agree on the Willow/Faith interaction. Willow has no qualms with telling Faith how she feels and Faith gets her right back.

Willow and Dawn is absolute love. It's not quite a surrogate mother thing, I think that's more Dawn/Tara, but Willow and Dawn are very very close and I love it. Love it so much.

[who-never-would.livejournal.com]

Late to the party as well.

who_never_would, AU Tenth Doctor
buck_the_system Kara Thrace

Do your worst. Interested in honest critique.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I absolutely love your Ten. He bugs Ianto a bit, but I adore threading with him all the same.

Can I just say the thread we had where he kept messing with Ianto's name made my night? Because it really did. Even thinking about now makes me giggle a bit.

[machinesgoping.livejournal.com]

Just this one - Topher Brink.
and if you haven't yet seen him, it's because I'm new~

[hearts-of-gold.livejournal.com]

Late comment to a late comment! >D

Topher seems spot on to me, you've got a real sense for his voice and mannerisms, and I think his reaction to turning up in Taxon was just right. I'm looking forward to seeing more from him!
