I recently watched Paprika (and fell in love with the idea and music. *-*) so now I finally feel comfortable commenting on your characterization. I like how creative you are with her. Her post with the inkblots was great fun to follow.

I don't know the canon for your other two, so I don't feel comfortable commenting on them, unfortunately.

Remember that thing I pointed out to you last HMD, about Asbel? Well, I'm not seeing that anymore. So I don't know if it was just my crazy imagination, or if you were keeping an eye on it yourself.

Either way, stellar job! Your Asbel is now perfect, in my opinion. ♥

As always, screened personal crit post is here if you'd rather use that. I came down with a couple of nasty sinus infections over the past couple of months and my activity took a hit from that, but I've been trying to step it up recently now that I'm feeling somewhat better. (And yes, I'm still getting to backtags as well.)

NO ONE SAW THAT BROKEN HTML. NO ONE.

[meowzy_chan]

All right. Let's do this.

First up, I'm going to reference to the crit I left you on your personal HMD two months ago. I pointed out that you seem to have troubles balancing your characters. That Richard is very active, but the others are hardly ever around. I told you that slowatuses will keep coming and going, and that this is a trend I've noticed over the past half year. A trend which is getting worse. I suggested that unless you find a way to divide your activity between your characters, you should consider dropping one or two of them. From what I'd gotten of your response, you basically brushed the concerns off as nothing.

It's now two months later. You dropped Alan, but I'm sure you only went through with it because Lunare dropped Alice. You failed to reach the necessary activity with Regal and Arumat during the last AC. In fact, Regal didn't even have half of the necessary comments. LJ was down and you were sick, yes, but the LJ fail was only about a week out of the entire AC month. Richard had roughly four times the

I admit, I was definitely struggling with Regal for a while there - the muse seemed to have up and just disappeared, and I was actually considering having him Mallynapped for a while after the event to see if some canon review would help wake him back up again. And then... he came back with a vengeance over the past couple of days and now I've been tagging way more with him than any of my others. I still plan on canon-reviewing for him, but I don't think I'll need to Mallynap him to do it because he seems to be doing okay muse-wise now. What I also need to do is find more things for him to DO so that I have reasons to get him out more, because he's quieter than Emil and Richard and not quite as social. He's actually discussing building a ship with Sokka at the moment, which I'm hoping will go somewhere and possibly end up involving a whole bunch of people. Also I hear there is a plan for certain people to burgle the bakery again while dressed in bear costumes

[meowzy_chan]

Well, the Gmail filter and canon reviews are definitely a step in the right direction, but you still seem to be missing the point a bit.

To shorten what would likely turn into tl;dr again: we're worried that if you app a fifth character again, you won't be able to keep up.

Your health will probably continue to be an issue for a while, if I understand correctly. And you do have a tendency of favoring certain characters, so if you pick up this Pandora Hearts character, what will happen to the other four? Won't this push Regal's muse, as well as the other three, down again? Alternatively, the new guy could go the same route as Alan, which wasn't a very happy one.

We're all hoping that you'll take some time to evaluate your playing style and find out how to best handle the characters you have now, before taking on more work. It's not that I want to stop you from apping that new character. Not at all. If you believe that you can handle it, then go for it. It's just that, personally, I'm worried it may not end very well.

I'm... dropping Aqua after the event is over, but any crit for her would still be nice.

Re: Yami

[enduringwaters]

Is there a major reason you're dropping Aqua? I always thought her voice was pretty spot on.

[enduringwaters]

Thank you, anon. The main reason I'm dropping her is activity. I'm not as active with her as I need to be and it makes me feel horribly guilty. I've also been having an issue finding her voice, and while I do think I could probably fix that if I tried hard enough, the issue will go right back to my activity. So I think it's best if I do just drop her, and this way I can work on getting my activity with Axel up again.

I'm really going to miss playing her and it makes me sad that I need to drop her, but I hope everyone at least enjoyed her while I had her.

[oda_hates_me]

orz. I was on another computer when I made that comment and it turned me anon. 8|;

Ah okay. That makes sense. To be honest, I wondered if you were going to drop Axel and keep her, since she was the new muse and all. But hm, while Axel can afford to go silent sometimes, it's much more of an issue for someone like Aqua...

And sorry I rambled a bit there. Like I said, your Aqua was a good one. ♥ She'll be missed.
