[stayb100ponyboy]

Equius Zahhak | Homestuck | stayb100ponyboy
Signless | Homestuck | withoutasign

Pro: when I'm on my game, I can boomerang tags all day
Con: I've felt really stuck and stagnant with Signless lately, who isn't getting involved in nearly as many things as he should be.

[fabrecation]

Luke fon Fabre | Tales of the Abyss | fabrecation

Pro: IIII don't drop threads and put a lot of thought into (most of) my replies?!
Con: I'M AS SLOW AS MOLASSES ON A TREE IN FALL. I am trying to fix that but it's a work in progress. |Da

[relinquishing]

GOD WHY AREN'T YOU LIKE A CHEETAH TAG MASTER I AM SO OFFENDED

WE'RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE

/flounce

Don't worry, man, we'll get through this speed thing together. You're giving as much effort as you can and it's showing. Don't give up. o/

[chosen_gigolo]

Zelos Wilder | Tales of Symphonia | chosen_gigolo
Sola (Dark Link) | The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time | replicatedcourage
Anise Tatlin | Tales of the Abyss | dualpunishment

Pro: I am loving all of my CR and plot development. Zelos has all the CR I could ever want and is developing more every time I look at my inbox, Sola has a plot coming up that I'm pretty excited about (though it depends on certain people apping certain characters >.>), and Anise is wasting no time hitting on the well-to-do.

Con: I'm struggling very hard with motivation. I'm not sure why and my tag speed and quality are suffering for it. I don't write nearly as much as I used to and I'm going to try and work on more quality tags. I also need to get back in the habit of checking the communities consistently and not just relying on plurk for interesting thread announcements. While that's fine for Zelos, I need to build new CR with Sola and Anise and just using plurk isn't helpful.

edit: I'm also having some issues coming up with things to do with Anise :|a I love her dearly but her voice is sometimes a struggle for me.

I'm not sure how much it will help with things, but have you thought about tracking the comms? That way you will get a head's up each time someone posts a network or a log post. Apart from really big events, usually there are not more than ten posts a day between both IC comms, so it shouldn't spam your mail too much. And personally I've found it helps a lot when you are waiting for a particular log that someone has promised to put up.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Jade Curtiss | Tales of the Abyss | Personal HMD

Pro: Recently I've been keeping up with the comm a lot better and trying to get more involved in plots.
Con: My characterization seems to feel a little off and some of my posts come off as rushed. I also can be pretty slow these days and disappear off Earth.

[grandhealer]

Raine Sage | grandhealer | Tales of Symphonia

Pro: The feelings I had the past month (May) weren't around as often as they were which really helped. Thanks to that, I'll be sticking around Vatheon as long as the feeling doesn't smack me too hard in the face again. Also for a character who stays on the island I'm doing fairly well I guess haha.

Cons: I still need to put Raine out there more aka look at the comms more. Also my tagging speed has been pretty awful this past month. I'll try to change that next month though I honestly can't make any promises until say... August. Also I feel like Raine's characterization might be a bit off but that just might be me idk.

[redcladidealist]

For what it's worth, I actually think you've been getting a better handle on Raine's characterization in the last couple of threads we've done. Not sure I can put into words what it is you're doing better, but she just feels more "Raine-like" to me.

[bufudine]

Serph | Cannibals and Butts | Personal HMD

Pro: Organising people for plots :>
Con: What is reading comprehension, sometimes.

[bestestfurrend]

Nepeta Leijon | Homestuck | bestestfurrend

I've been rather inactive of late but I'm trying to pick up the slack again!

[behind_my_smile]

Fai D. Flourite || Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles || behind_my_smile

Pro: Fai is getting out a lot! I'm trying to get him to interact with all types of characters. Little social butterfly..
Con: I hope he doesn't come off as too annoying..

[cheapshinigami]

No, I don't find him annoying at all. Fai is very cute, but maybe some characters can tell there's something else about him. I love the CR he was with Tatsumi, even if he feels guilty about feeling attracted to him. Honestly, in many ways Fai reminds him of Tsuzuki. Poor Fai. I just hope they continue to be bff! XD

[gorges]

Kyouko Sakura | Puella Magi Madoka Magica | gorges
Yosuke Hanamura | Persona 4 | garbagecanned
Konata Izumi | Lucky Star | gameplays

Pro: Uh...I've been getting out of my slump a little bit?
Con: I'm slow as molasses here and I know it. There are two less names on my list for here because I'll be dropping them to maybe make things a little better.

[tsundyne]

u suck

[radiantwingedone]

Duke Pantarei | Tales of Vesperia | radiantwingedone
Rand al'Thor | Wheel of Time | righthandedragon

Pro: uuhhmm. Duke is talking to more people?
Con: Duke keeps trying to smother Rand, so Rand tags keep ending up slow. Herp.

Half asleep is not the best time to be thinking :x

[relinquishing]

Something a little nitpicky, but... is there any reason you have Duke talking the way he does, grammar-wise? I haven't finished Vesperia so take this with as much salt as you want, but his tags are very hard to understand and come across kind of... odd sometimes with all the dropping of words.

It's just something that's been confusing me, I guess.

[tsundyne]

Yukari Takeba | Persona 3 | tsundyne
Rue | Princess Tutu | ravenly
Tsubaki Kasugano | Mirai Nikki (Paradox) | clairvoyancies

Pro: I'm pretty slow, but I don't ever drop threads! I'm willing to backtag for as long as the other person is interested. I also like to think I'm fairly approachable and friendly as far as plotting goes...?
Con: I'm more active with Yukari than I am my other two and I think it really shows. I need to get them out more. And I'm also pretty lazy with writing posts, even when I have the ideas for them so that needs to stop too. Herp derp.

Those are the big ones I've noticed about myself lately, but if there's anything else, feel free to bring it up with me! There are HMDs on my journals and I do check plurk (especially for private ones), even if I'm not very active. I also take PMs and IMs and such.

[keepsthefire]

Ioder Algios Heurassein | Tales of Vesperia | fortheempire
Hubert Ozwell | Tales of Graces | dualbladepaladin
Rin Okumura | Ao no Exorcist | keepsthefire

One of these things is not like the other

Pro:I can keep things going foreeeeever and I've dropped very few threads. I like to see things through to as much of a conclusion as possible.
Con:I'm at my slowest when school is going, and... well... I go year round for teh monies. ... also Rin seems to have Duke syndrome and is smothering Ioder and Hubert. :|

Upside about the school thing though is that I can tag pretty consistently on weekends and during breaks. So. /Rainbow Dash shrug

[bethehugejerk]

Karkat Vantas ( bethehugejerk ) | Homestuck

Pro: Uh. Been getting a little new CR lately? Though I should be sure to pursue that further and branch out more anyway, never hurts.

Con: Been slow as molasses in an igloo on tags. Part of it's the summer heat, part is good old laziness. Not enough to stop me from making AC or anything but I should pick up on that.

[moelin]

heres some crit

ur a butt

[princeoftheravens]

Colette Brunel | Tales of Symphonia | clumsyblonde
Matrim Cauthon | The Wheel of Time | princeoftheravens

Pros: um....I tend to not drop threads?
Cons: I keep going "I should do this" and then I forget to actually post things about it

[incinerare]

Roy Mustang | incinerare
Zexion | sechstel

Pro: Roy seems to hit it off well so far in the city, been working on trying to not drop as many threads (due to my sucktastic memory) as before?

Con: The colonel tends to drown out the nobody most times.. thus need to work more with doing more with zexion.

[relinquishing]

Guy Cecil | Tales of the Abyss | relinquishing (Anon-enabled HMD)

Pro: Guy's voice is much stronger nowadays due to some well-needed canon review, and it's making tags a lot easier. I feel I'm doing a lot better at characterization, and the stronger CR I've been able to pick up has been such a blast. I've been trying to give tags that not only have substance, but are interesting to respond to, not only for CR but for new players as well. Now if only I could do it more often

Con: My tag speed is still really sporadic and awful, mostly due to RL insanity and just a lingering lack of focus. I don't ever drop threads without notifying the other mun beforehand, but I can understand that my lack of consistent activity might be saying otherwise.

[hypervision]

Reisuke Houjou | Mirai Nikki | hypervision
((He also has his own anon-enabled HMD on his journal if you prefer going there instead))

Pro: I'm...usually good at not dropping threads once they've started? Plus, I'd like to think that I'm a little decent at keeping up with tags... :|a
Con: Wow I have been slightly non-existent the past week and a half or so, I need to fix this and get active with Reisuke again. OTL

Mai

[lucentpalisade]

Just Sophie from Tales of Graces F ^o^

[techno_shaman]

Sera | Digital Devil Saga | techno_shaman
Akihiko Sanada | Persona 3 | golden_gloves

I can't think of a pro (haven't been around long enough), but I apologize for that double-weekend hiatus; definitely not expecting it to take more than one weekend.

Also I have yet to post with Akihiko (but working to fix that now!).

[imaginarytides]

Xion | KH | imaginarytides

Pro: I'm pretty good about not dropping threads and I think I've developed a decent portrayal of her (though if you disagree with this please tell me, obvs.)

Con: I need to build her CR more, which I think may be more a problem with me being shy about contacting people for stuff

Anon-enabled post is in the journal also

[cheapshinigami]

Tatsumi Seiichirou | Yami no Matsuei | cheapshinigami

Non-anon comments would be wonderfully nice. If you feel unsure about other people reading what you want to write, feel free to use the private hmd

Thanks! <3

[applepies]

Seriously, I love your Tatsumi ! He is so... Tatsumish ! LOL I mean...

I find him very IC in his acts and words but you also play wonderfully well that secret and soft side of him when Asato is involved. I wish to see that side of him grow in the future (/winks winks nudges nudges), it will give him such beautiful CR with Asato but also many other characters. ♥

I just got here like...three days ago? Still getting used to everything so far!

WE.NEED.TO.TAG.

[oursomalink]

Shing Meteoryte | Tales of Hearts | oursomalink
Yuri Lowell | Tales of Vesperia | hopeofzaphias

Pro: ... ... ... what pro?
Con: Lack of activity plus being way too unsure of how I'm playing both of my muses here. Canon reviews for both, I think, are in desperate need right now...

[blessedbyfarore]

Link | Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time | blessedbyfarore

[donotcomprehend]

Gale | Digital Devil Saga | donotcomprehend

Pro: Tagging around more.
Con: I am still taking ages and ages to tag.
