@Altered Tundra

I mean you can 'reserve' face claims all you want but to us it's usually first come first serve. I doubt it'll be an issue, but just letting you know. If someone were to make and submit a sheet with Brad Pitt as the faceclaim, looks like your character will have a twin!

@JunkMail

*crack knuckles and neck*
Then I guess I'll just have to outbeat whomever decides to use Brad for their fc.

<Snipped quote by JunkMail>

There's lookalikes of every celebrity out there, somewhere. Even Danny DeVito, and that frightens me.

@SepticGentleman

Haven't you heard? The ladies love Danny Devito. Some even love him more than Macaulay Culkin.

@Altered Tundra Oh I understand completely with the running out of steam part when managing characters. I like to take small breaks so I can build up my steam again. And I totally relate with being your own worst critic. Before presenting a project in class, I would point out the flaws and potentially risk my classmates getting a judgment on my work before they even read/watched it. As creative minds, I guess one of our biggest hurdles is having faith in our skills, understanding we are not perfect and we still have a lot to grow, but we're not terrible, and to be open to criticism.

In film we have this thing called the "oreo" critique. And that's where you say something nice about the work, then say all the critique, then end it with something nice.

It's a really good technique when you're someone who doesn't take critiques lightly.

To be honest, I don't even think I'm that amazing of a writer but people tell me otherwise. If people compliment my work, that must say something of my skills, right? So we live and we learn.

@lovely complex

Exactly, so you know the pains of doubting pretty much you put out, whether it's something for class, something you're writing/making for someone other than yourself, or even just a simple RP post. It's the one downside of being a creative mind. :(

Yeah, I do that a lot with graphics people show me. Though, in the GFX community, we call that CnC(Comment and Critique). It's pretty much how you said "oreo" is: you begin what you like about it, list the things that coudl be worked upon, and end with a final note on how you like it, but just some things need to be improved. I think every creative field has that - or any field for that matter. It doesn't matter which field you're in, there's always going to be projects that you're going to present to someone, and they're - or you - are going to have some things that they/you don't like about it.

@foxygen
Aww, thanks so much, fox. <3

I could say why I feel that way, but I put two, full paragraphs into why in response to @lovely complex, so refer to that. I'll just say that I have certain things about me that I know need to be worked on. ^^;

High Casual - Welcome To Camp Liberty

@lovely complex You may be right or you might not be. I do agree that the length does depend on the character, but I can be the first one to admit that I run out of steam sometimes. It's especially true when I'm writing for multiple characters at once. Like, let's say that I have an equal amount of shit to respond to for each of my three characters, and they would produce, generally, the same length. However, as I said, my steam sometimes runs out, and I just don't get the same amount of length for one character post like I get for the others. One could have 6-9 paragraphs, another could have 4-6, and the other could barely have 3.

And I know I'm hard on myself, but that is how it's been with me for as long as I can remember. I'm my own worst critic. While everyone seems to love my posts, I dog myself to the point where I delete certain sentences I had written down, or forsake a post altogether because I "simply wasn't feeling it". I know, it's a horrible thing because, according to NaNoWriMo, as long as you're writing, it doesn't matter if it's bad. Don't erase it, they say. Well, to that I say, "have you seen some of my shit writing? No you haven't, so shut your whore mouth." Or, ya know, something to that effect.

Anyways, bottom line is that I put myself way too down to appreciate my own writing. x.x
