Star Trek: The Divergence

[Dark Country]

Forward: I don't know how many Star Trek fans there are on the site, I guess we'll see how this goes. But, if you see this and you like Star Trek in any medium (ToS, TNG, VOY, DS9), then I hope this becomes a melting pot of ideas and creativity. I understand science-fiction can be difficult to write, even though I've written over a dozen manuscripts comprised of hundreds of thousands of words--I still find it difficult to write. But, my hope is that won't dissuade you from trying. That you'll keep attempting and push forwards through the challenges and difficulties and leave your mark. Star Trek is about exploration, moral and ethical obligation--as much as it is about space battles. It's about overarching character stories, and it's about deep, personal issues. And these are the kinds of things that interest me the most at times. Things that me stop and think about what my character is or should be doing. I hope to make a story that is diverse, fun and memorable. Thank-you.

Rules:

1.) Be polite and respectful to fellow members and guests.

2.) No 'flaming' the Star Trek brand. If you don't like Star Trek, that's fine, just don't come into my request thread and fuss about it.

3.) No spamming messages; you only need one post per message. If I don't answer your question, I may be deliberating on it. Either way, I will tell you definitively 'yes' or 'no' in due time.

4.) You can create a Maximum of 2 characters to start--this might be increased as the storyline progresses.

5.) We will be using the Starship 'Eclipse' Cruiser as the cast's primary vessel. Though classified as a long-range intelligence-gathering vessel, the USS Valkyrie in this instance, is a highly advanced battlecruiser-class starship.

6.) This roleplay will be in the mid-24th-early 25th centuries in the Star Trek landscape so there have been some major improvements and upgrades to ships, systems, weapons, and shields.

7.) Write 2 paragraphs per post; 5-10 Sentences each. If you feel you can write more--feel free. But no one is obligated to do more than that base requirement. Just write plenty of description--if you're having a dialogue add personality to your character.

It seems my posts killed this roleplay?

Was it my character or the ship's panel?

Group RPs are difficult in the best of circumstances and require a fair amount of organization and enthusiasm to make them work. I don't think it has anything to do with your character specifically. I wasn't particularly enthused with putting much effort into a character sheet that was going to be buried on the eighth page of the interest check thread. It just didn't seem to me like a promising start.

No, it has nothing to do with you or your character(s). I've just been having a very trying time. The month of December is a month of loss of me, and the memories run deep. I get very melencholic around this time of year, not to mention I had to bury two aunts recently, a cousin, and other things that have made life more hectic than usual.

Rather you are on the 1st page or the 8th doesn't matter; what matters is the effort you put forth into making an interesting, and engaging character. If all you care about is being on the first or second page, I can always make an OOC where character profiles are only permitted. Or at the very least, ask if I could do so. But it seems the fervor for this has died down of course in my absence. It couldn't be helped--real life comes first. But you are right about group RPs being hard to maintain.
