New Stonewall Writing RP Proposal

February 02 2013
Hi everyone,

I have an idea for a new fleet-based roleplay that I'd like to share with you all.

The roleplay is not in-game, but a written one. It will revolve around the day-to-day running of Starbase Stonewall, the headquarters of Starfleet's Stonewall Fleet. Starbase Stonewall serves as the base of operations for the Fleet Admiralty and the main port of call for the captains and ships of the fleet. It is run by the Commander of Starbase Operations and his/her crew.

Fleeties can play as a member of the starbase personnel, or as one of their toons and their crew while they are visiting or docked at the starbase. Fleeties can write joint missions with each other or write personal logs about their experiences.

The idea is not to have the roleplay take place in the game itself, but simply to draw from our experiences in STO and create a literary version of the Stonewall fleet starbase, our toons, our ships and our crews.

My plan for how to do this practically is to use the Nova RP system. It would be hosted on a separate site. If you'd like to have a look at how it works, please take a look at www.ussheyerdahl.com. It's fairly easy to use and has a lot of great features that help keep things running smoothly. The system can have different crew manifests; it can have different missions running similtaneously and different mission categories; there are also bio pages for each character. The writing interface is very easy to use and makes collaborative writing for joint posts very easy.

If you are interested, please reply to this post so that I can have an indication of how many people like the idea. If there's enough interest, we can set the wheels in motion. Also please feel free to ask any questions.

Thank you!
Bren

Count me in as well! This is a great way to inter-mingle with others who have their own storylines, etc. Thanks, Bren! Looking forward to diving in.

I was involved in something like this nine years ago. I forget the exact name of the site, but for all I know I was playing with some of you guys. Ylis's first officer takes his name from the character I played on there.

I definitely want to be involved, but given a heavy workload this semester, not sure how much I will be.

It's so great to see so many of you interested in the idea. I'm very excited about it and will post some more information in the next couple of days.

Oh, and don't scratch the paint on the starbase otherwise I'll make you take a spacewalk with a paintbrush!

So will we be roleplaying as the crew of the station, or of ship crews visiting the station? Both? Neither?

Any update on this topic?

On a side note, I submitted a piece to the official forum for Literary Challenge #38 (entry #6). I'd be curious of feedback if anyone wants to give it a read.

Thank you everyone who responded! We are all very excited about adding this new component to the Fleet.

As such, we are currently working out all of the specifics of this new venture.

Keep an eye out in the Holodeck forum for an announcement with more details soon to come!
