Welcome Post | Meet & Greet

Hello, Ten Forward!

How are you all on this fine day? (Or not so fine depending on where you are. Here there were thunderstorms!)

All of March's apps have been reviewed and are being processed now, so we at Ten Forward want to give a warm welcome to all of our new applicants! Thanks for your patience as one of your mod team was out sick for most of a week.

We're SO excited to have you all with us, and we're looking forward to playing with you and getting to know you. Us mods are here as always to answer any questions you may have, so consider this your official welcome mat! Below is some helpful info, and this space can also be used to meet, mingle, plot CR, and update other players on who you play and where their Intros are.

  • IC Intros/OPs: Your Opening Post can be where and when you prefer, as long as it isn't in a restricted area (ie: the bridge, engineering, crew operations). If you'd rather tag someone else's post to establish your entrance, that's totally allowed. The standard setup is to be winked into Ten Forward by Q, but if you need special arrangements—such as an immediate Sickbay visit—leave a comment letting us know.

  • Life On Board: 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. The medical staff will need to see them to clear them of disease and log their bio reading for future medical attention. Afterwards, they'll be assigned more permanent quarters and a roommate (unless there's a reason they cannot room with someone else), and be able to wander the civilian areas of the ship more freely.

  • Sickbay: Next week, we will post an open sickbay log to play out any new character's checkups (as well as facilitate any plot, such as asking Dr. Crusher if you can volunteer to help), but it is not required if you would prefer to handwave your character checking out and getting the all clear from the docs aboard. If your character has any special medical conditions, let us know. If you have any other requests, leave a comment. Once your character has been cleared medically, they'll be released from the initial quarantine (of Ten Forward and the guest quarters only), assigned permanent rooms, and allowed to move more freely around the ship. Restricted areas are, of course, still off-limits (such as the bridge, engine rooms, conference rooms, etc). This is especially open to new applicants, but should anyone need to visit Sickbay remember it is OTA!

  • Rooms: We will be assigning all new characters a room and a roommate by random draw. This means if you have special requirements or considerations, you should leave a request in a comment HERE with your character journal. Some examples would be: if your character has a spouse or SO they would prefer to be roomed with; your character is unable to share quarters because of their physiology/temperament; and the like. If you're bringing in a high-ranking Starfleet officer, you may be assigned VIP quarters. IC, the Enterprise crew would be sure any important officers would have the best rooms, but OOC we don't want you to miss out on building CR with another character, so all officers will automatically be treated the same as other characters unless you tell us otherwise. We'll post an OOC list of characters getting roommate assignments next week, and an IC Roommate Mixer will go up next weekend so all characters can meet and mingle.

  • Plot/CR: March'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.

  • Join/Update the OOC Cast list: If you're new to the game or you have recently changed your character roster, visit the 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 entirely optional if you would rather not post your information anywhere. Please note: if you're not comfortable with giving out certain info (like e-mail addresses or SNs) but still want to be represented, not all fields are mandatory. Leave any fields blank if you don't want that information public, and post what you're comfortable with. Nobody's privacy will be compromised.



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. We'll get to all your questions as soon as possible.

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

Well, I suppose I could do the introducing myself thing, couldn't I?

Hi all! I'm JK, one of your friendly neighbourhood mod team. I am most readily found at [plurk.com profile] ashavah. I take the Australian moderator shift (we have mods all over the world, it's very cool). In real life I'm a librarian and a student with a life that is sometimes too busy for my own good, and the combination of that and my timezone means I can be slow, but I am always SO HAPPY TO PLAY WITH YOU ALL.

And on that note, for those who don't know, my cast is:

  • Jonas Quinn ([personal profile] a_quick_study) of Stargate: SG-1, who is a giant dork, social scientist, and all-around sweetheart guy from a planet that doesn't even have a name yet;

  • Jack Harkness ([personal profile] captgreatcoat) of the Whoniverse, who may not need introducing, but if he does, he's the biggest pansexual flirt in the multiverse, former time-traveller and conman, now alient hunter and immortal;

  • Dylan Hunt ([personal profile] dreams_dont_die) of Andromeda, the biggest idealistic crusading fool of a hero you'll ever meet. Also possessed of genetically enhanced strength, a genuine quest, and a mess of issues over losing 300 years of time and a whole way of life. And his starship;

  • Simon Tam ([personal profile] osirian_doctor) of Firefly, doctor, surgeon, exceedingly protective big brother, smart-alec, and total failure at anything to do with women;

  • Finnick Odair ([personal profile] fishermansweater) of The Hunger Games, fisherman, Hunger Games victor, celebrity, revolutionary, charmer, flirt, oh, and did I mention prostitute, who'd really rather be left alone with his fiancée Annie.


I can't wait to talk to and play with you allll!
