OOC; How's My Driving?

I know I haven't been here as long, but I think maybe I've been sufficiently a pest in memos and such to get some sort of feedback? What I'm doing wrong, what I could do better, etc.

First of all, it's memes, not memos. You really are new at this, aren't you?

Second, a little advice. Every time I've seen you post or tag anything it's been in this really hideous courier new pink font. Pretty much the only characters who get away with that crap are Homestucks since it's in their canon, and even they get a lot of shit for it. Drop the pink, drop the courier. Just let your comment be in plain, normal, friggin readable font. Different people set their comment reading pages differently according to what's comfortable and easy for them to read, and overriding that so you can have your special snowflake font just looks ridiculous. It also makes it look like you, the mun, about twelve.

Third? Spelling and grammar are your friends. I don't care what you do on your own time, but RP is a written hobby and people expect you to have a decent grasp of written language. A little extra effort to hit those shift keys will go a long way toward making you taggable.

Fourth? You might want to go back and re-play the games, pay attention to how Kairi actually talks and reacts to things. Right now you don't really seem to have much of a grasp of her character, and reading your comments, I don't get any sense that this is actually supposed to be Kairi that you're playing. Work on that. A really good character is identifiable even without icons, by what they say and how they say it.

Just some stuff to work on. But seriously, if you only take one thing away from this comment, please stop using the pink courier new. It just looks like shit.

I guess I only really used the courier and color because I roleplay her in jarjammed? But I'll keep in mind for dear_mun. Sorry about that! And I'm replaying the games at the moment, too! :)

The grammar thing is also supposed to be her quirk! But that probably doesn't make sense in logs, so that's just me being dumb and not realizing the setting? Still, thanks for the critique!
