Welcome Post | Meet & Greet

[ten_fwd_mods]

Hey hey, Everyone!

All of our December applicants are in the process of being ... well, processed! Thank you all for your patience, as you know it's been a busy month. We'd like to take a moment to roll out the welcome mat, get to know all our new players and muses, and give you all a very warm hello! We're really looking forward to getting to know everyone!

To get you newbies started, your mods are here as always to answer any questions you may have, so you will see some helpful links below. This space can also be used to meet, mingle, plot CR, and update other players on who you play and where their Intros are. Oh myyyy~!

☆ OOC contact and information: Now that you're here, you can hit up our OOC Contact Post to let us know who you play and what the best means of getting in touch with you are. This post is locked to members of the OOC community, and it is optional. You can leave any fields blank if you don't want that information public, and post what you're comfortable with. All of the mod contact info you may need is right over here, so don't be shy about poking us if you need anything!

☆ Game updates: We strongly recommend you join, follow, and/or track our OOC Community ten_fwd_ooc. It's the best way to stay up to date with the game and any announcements from your mod team as soon as they happen.

☆ Getting started: You can intro your character as soon as you have your game clearance. The standard setup is to be winked into Ten Forward by Q, but you can also tag into someone else's post or enter your character anywhere that isn't in a restricted area (ie: the bridge, engineering, crew operations). If you need special arrangements—such as an immediate Sickbay visit—leave a comment letting us know!

Quarantine, Sickbay, and Rooming: Your characters' first few days on the ship will involve a lax quarantine to guest quarters, Ten Forward, and the lifts/hallways between the two only, until they've passed a basic medical check and had some vaccinations. Due to the holidays, our next Sickbay log is TBA. After their Sickbay visits, characters will be released from quarantine, assigned permanent rooms, and allowed to move more freely around the ship. All new characters are assigned a room and a roommate by random draw. There will be an OOC post about room assignments this weekend, once all pending apps are completed, where we will announce when the IC Roommate Mixer-slash-Holiday Party will go up. This will include a linked IC tour and introduction to the ship.

--> Need more BASIC INFO about life on board and in the Star Trek universe? Head over here!

☆ Plotting and CR: December's plotting meme is located here, or you may leave a comment directly to this post if you're looking for any particular plots or CR for your character. Tag around other people's requests, and make some new connections! Plotting/CR Memes typically go up the last Monday of every month, as do announcements for next month's plots/events and a log swap meet.

☆ Mod Announcements: You can follow mod announcements using the admin: mod post tag here in the OOC comm. Our last announcement can be located here, have a look at your earliest convenience! Please note: AC will run January 10th - 23rd, but all December apps will be exempt until the next AC period.

Are there any other questions? Did the mods overlook something important? Please feel free to contact us, night or day, using the e-mail address tenforwardmods [at] gmail [dot] com, or leave a comment on this post. You can also friend our game plurk, ten_fwd. We'll get to all your questions as soon as possible.

We look forward to meeting everyone! Come, say hi in the comments below!

A good sign of an excellent Doctor. Timing.

(Well, I suppose i can write my way out of it)

Backtagging is a good thing. I'll be sure to get back to it, though I think with this fever, tonight i am going home and passsssing out.

[not_the_question]

Take care of you!

[disneydescendant]

Hey guys. Am I an oldbie or a newbie?

I refuse to be labeled! :p

I'm Mouse and I bring back Henry. Mills this time, not Gold. /wave

Re: NEWBIES

[redarrowqueen]

Hi Gann! I'm Morgan with a trio of ladies floating around the comm. Kristen Kringle (Gotham) got her own comment as my newest *points a few comments down* so I'll mention the other two.

Thea Queen (Arrow) is from the last 10 minutes of "Broken Arrow" when she was stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul. At the moment she's mentally a wreck and in recovery from not exactly eating or sleeping in the better part of a month.

Luna Lovegood (HP) is during book/movie 7 when she was saved from Malfoy Manor. I'm also into the idea she was tortured by the Death Eaters. She's basically a kooky teenage witch in recovery from her demons (the bulk she's still working through) but with a huge heart in spite of everything.

All 3 are fair plotting game and will be friending you on Plurk (I'm TheHourMorgana) shortly!

[filia_terrae]

I have a confession to make - I know nothing about Harry Potter besides the very basics of the first three books. But I will gladly throw mine at yours after I EP them!

[filia_terrae]

HELLO YES IT IS I NEW PERSON.

I don't remember Jonas from SG-1, but then again I last watched the series like 10 years ago and I never got past...season four, I think. I do remember Simon, though! I remember Simon very well. I will throw mine at yours as soon as I give them some entrance posts!

[kristenkgcpd]

Can't wait!

[filia_terrae]

Yeah, I can see how bloodbending would freak some people out, especially with the sound effects they use. Overall I'd say you're not missing out on much - it's okay, but not as good as The Last Airbender.

Explosives, you say? If Archer gets wind of it, he will more than likely help. I'll throw him at Aidan after I get him into Ten Forward!

[hoodandarrow]

Hi everyone I'm Jackie and I forgot this last time so oldbie and newbie and I bring you Oliver Queen from Arrow and my newest dude Matt Murdock from the Netflix version of Daredevil

/waves

HIIIIIII

Re: NEWBIES

[hasopinions]

Jem'Hadar Starfleet, that should be rather interesting.

I'm Yubsie and I play Ishka here along with Yoda from some other obscure sci fi series that I'm sure absolutely no one has heard of these days.

[radishearring]

Hi Mouse! I'm Morgan and have a trio of ladies floating around. Kristen Kringle (Gotham) has her own comment as my newest so here's the other two.

Thea Queen (Arrow) is from the last 10 minutes of "Broken Arrow" when she was stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul (a couple of months before she becomes Speedy in canon but pre pit so none of the bloodlust related fallout is a factor). At the moment she's mentally a wreck and in recovery from not exactly eating or sleeping in the better part of a month.

Luna Lovegood (HP) is during book/movie 7 when she was saved from Malfoy Manor. I'm also into the idea she was tortured by the Death Eaters. She's basically a kooky teenage witch in recovery from her demons (the bulk she's still working through) but with a huge heart in spite of everything.

I can totally send either of them to Henry's EP if either of them strike you? Otherwise all 3 are fair plotting game!

[youwillbe]

We cross paths yet again! It is Yubsie with yet another completely different roster consisting of Yoda (from some obscure sci fi franchise absolutely not one talks about these days) and Ishka from Deep Space NIne.

Re: OLDBIES

[youwillbe]

Hi guys. I'm Yubsie and believe it or not I have held off on apping a third character... for now!

I play Yoda, who comes form some sci fi thing no one ever talks about. He's a CRAU from exitvoid which means, among other things, he sometimes still wears a little sailor suit to mess with people. Also someone should try to convince him to sign up for an English grammar class.

I also play Ishka from Deep Space Nine, aka Quark's mom. She spends most of her time on board really hoping they're not going to Ferenginar because she lived through it once dammit.

[neverlosemyfocus]

Hello!

I’m Bree, and I have a couple muses mucking about the Enterprise. First is one Siri Tachi (neverlosemyfocus), Jedi Master extraordinaire from Star Wars – the Expanded Universe, to be exact. Whose canon point is her death at the end of the book ‘Secrets of the Jedi’; although before she technically died. Q is like that. SO SHE IS SCHRODINGER’S JEDI. The other is an original character by the name of Zoey Westen (pythianwoman), who is a gymnast, swordswoman, seer, and general trouble magnet. Who’s also dating H.G Wells from Warehouse 13.

I’m a huge Star Wars/Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries/Lovecraft/The Librarians/The Mummy series fan who has recently fallen headfirst down the Flash/Arrow/Constantine rabbit hole. And I have a HUGE love of AUs. Like, seriously. There’s a list and everything. Several lists, actually.

[hasthegift]

I just really love the thread on the tdm with these two, and his glee at meeting a gelfling was so adorable. I just figured them as roomies would be even more adorable. XD <3

:D I can't wait for them to interact more. Did you want me to continue the thread in the tdm because of its awesomeness?

[hasthegift]

EEEEEE!!!!! 8D

Yasss I can't wait for her to meet people and DO ALL OF THE THINGS!

[hasthegift]

Yay!! I'd love for her to meet Luna!!

And as for your question, CR with DJ is still a HELL YEAH. :D <3

Re: Gabby!

[pythianwoman]

PEEEEEEETE. He definitely needs to meet Helena's girlfriend. Who also needs to meet Steve, too. Maybe John. XD So Zoey needs to meet lots more of your characters. Just saying.

[not_the_question]

Hehehe it's nice to let the Doctor be his adorkable excited self sometimes!

But I'm loving that thread as well! So, either way is good for me XD

Re: NEWBIES

[hallowedarethefounders]

what sci fi series

i'm sure this is some kind of nerdy stuff no one cares about

unless you're a huge dork. huge dorks are good.

[disneydescendant]

Nice to meet you Morgan.

I only really know Luna of the three and Henry has read the books so that could be fun. But I'm open to anyone you're willing to throw at me. Though I should warn you, Henry did befriend Lucius Malfoy in his previous game so there might be a conflict of interest there. Hehe. Got to love RP right?

[disneydescendant]

Hehe. The Force is strong with us.

I would love Henry to meet Yoda. I'm sure the kid knows about it and has seen it especially when it's been mentioned in his canon.

Ishka would be fun too because [a] she's badass and [b] she's Ferengi.

So go spam my EP with crazy creature. :D

[greystreetgabby]

YES, YES HE DOES. I ... will apologize in advance if he says something stupid, though. Helena's love life is of great interest to him. >_<;;

Basically I want threads with Zoey and ALL of mine, ngl. You are one of the players I've been longing to thread more with while my RL has been doing its tailspin, so seriously any time, any place. I am there. :D

[greystreetgabby]

... I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP WITH THAT

/goes to write you a PM

[greystreetgabby]

~SQUEE!~

Hello hello, Gann! I am SO PLEASED to see Clara (and you!) in the game, you have no idea how much it excites me. I am the mun behind Amy Pond, and I have to apologize for not tagging you back in so long -- RL has been doing a number on me as well. I sincerely hope your infection clears up without a trip to the hospital. That's where I was this time last year and it is not fun. So good thoughts! All my good thoughts!

Helpful info: as I mentioned playing with a canon update, Amy in the game is set just after The Doctor's Wife so she (very sadly) won't be recognizing Soufle Girl. This is not going to deter me from having all the Amy+Clara shenanigans, if you are up for it! I have been dying to play off of one for a long time now. Canon update, if all goes accordingly, will happen in January.

All my deets are in an above comment linked here! if you are interested. It sounds like we have a lot of fandoms in common, and please do tell me more about your interest in Coulson because I have a certain supersoldier with a similar vested interest. /chinhands

I'll be friending you on plurk, I hope you don't mind! I'm looking forward to getting to know you and thread with you lots! I do tend toward the slow as molasses end of the tagging spectrum, but as long as that doesn't bother you I am always open for a n y t h i n g .

TL;DR - WELCOME TO THE GAME! ♥
