It's that time finally! Here's our first How's My Driving? post. This sitewide meme will go up on the 20th of every month and it's encouraged that everyone post! Please post a list of your current in-game characters as a reference for other members to use for comments or critique.

Remember to keep it civil. Outright flaming will not be tolerated and we will deal with any hostile comments as soon as possible. Critique should be constructive. Offer ways a player can improve their characters, solve any problems you might have, etc. rather than just telling them they're horrible with no examples or pointers.

Likewise, this isn't a love meme. It's great to tell someone you think they're doing a good job or you love playing with them! Just give reasons for why you think they're awesome or what they're doing well. We're not discouraging positive comments. Love is great, but so is hearing why you are so you know what to keep doing.

Anon comments are enabled and IP logging is off for those who'd prefer a little anonymity, but please don't abuse this feature to be rude to other players.

If anything comes up, please visit the concerns page to let us know or contact us through any of the other various ways listed.

I will freely admit that I don't know Dawn's canon, but I've got to ask: Is that much stuttering when she talks really necessary? I find it extremely off-putting. There's nothing particularly wrong with -what- she says, just that the stuttering makes it painful to read and I find myself skipping anything she's in to try and avoid it.

If it's canon to the character, then I guess keep on keepin' on, but if it's not, you may want to consider cutting back some.

Thanks for pointing it out! It's not, but I picture her as the sort of person who stutters when flustered or embarrassed (which is happening a lot recently, a-ahaha). I probably have been going overboard with it, mostly because I guess I'm worried that well, her flustered state isn't coming through? So then I tend to really exaggerate it and for some reason, I, uh-- I thought a slight stutter was visually boring, so part of it was also me trying to make it look more 'interesting'.

I will try to tone it down though! I really am sorry that it was too much.
