Hello, readers, and... Damsels... and Collaborative Partners, as well...
I'm going to start this Journal out with an update, and then get into something that you (well, some of you, at least) can help me out with... as this series gets better and better. You see, even though not much is posted, yet... and not much is ready to post, right now... a LOT is done, and I could use some of your assistance in making it the best that it can be.
At this stage of writing this, SIX seasons are outlined. Each season is 25 Episodes. Some Episodes are multi-part. Each Story Arc is multiple episodes.
Now, each Story Arc centers around the crew of a specific ship, so that the nearly two HUNDRED characters in this series can all get their part... without making it ridiculously confusing. This way, you deal with one group of characters at a time, as I've said, before.
Those of you on dA who have a character in this series will find yourself in one of a few places. Without giving away any spoilers, I am going to explain, here, what that means:
MOST of you will find yourself on the U.S.S. Beaver, as part of her crew. This includes:
and 
as well as Dee from
's gallery...
...and former dA member Sweet-Angel-Valkery
SOME of you will find yourself in roles that do not place you in any ship's crew, but still leave you as important to the storyline. This includes:
and former dA member Beauty-is-Loved
SOME of you will find yourselves in the Rogues Gallery of villains and their accomplices/captives/slaves:
and Nova, from Commanding Photos page...
...
*and
aboard her husband's Klingon vessel... sorry - had to edit this in - had forgotten to include it
also - still waiting to hear if
will have a ship for me, as well, or if she'll merely join the SL planet...
and that brings me to the first place where I could use some assistance from you...
Some of you are SL players, and I am going to place all of those on one world... and I need your input on where you fit in, so, if you're on this list:
I have you down as a SL player and eligible for a part in the series on that world.
If you think you should be on this list and are not, contact me.
If you are on the list and aren't interested in being in it, contact me.
If you know someone who should be on the list, contact me.
If you are on the list and want me to write you in a specific position on this world, contact me.
Right now, the only one I have in a specific role is:
:iconenglish-damsel:
she is the Captain of a starship defending that world, and she can pick her crew, so... if you wish to join her, contact her.
IF you do not see your name on any of these lists and think it should be there... contact me.
EDIT:
ALSO - on the topic of sex... you all like that topic...
please let me know if you want your character to have any 'flings' or such in the series... and with whom, if possible, so I can see what can be done.
This series will have a bit of that...

DA SUPPRESSES FACTS - SUPPORTS BULLYING
Have you ever noticed how similar the DA Logo is to a SWASTIKA? This is because they apparently have a FASCIST view of censorship - and they're happy to let members use FASCIST tactics to suppress truth. Do you want to know why I don't typically talk politics on DA? It's not because I don't know the subject. I majored in it. I'm far better informed than the vast majority of people, when it comes to politics. I do extensive research (that's the professional writer in me) and I actually read BILLS, not articles on websites 'summarizing' bills. I get the facts from the source, not from some biased hack site. Against my better judgment, I visited the Politics forum here, on DA. I should have KNOWN that most people on this site would know next to nothing about actual events and would be parrots of debunked talking points and mainstream media bullshit. After all, most 'artists'... and I'll use that term loosely because not everyone on DA is an artist... are ridiculously dumb Leftists - and
Interesting Options
So, as those of you who read my status update know, a friend of mine heard I was looking for suitable tropical maps for the new series and sent me a bunch to look at. Even though I had already begun work on the other map, I decided... in the interest of providing you all with the absolute best series, possible, that I'd look at what he sent me and see if any of them were an ideal fit. After all, the map I had gotten fixed the beach problem, but there were some things I didn't like about it - things that messed with the 'canon' of the series. For instance, Cabo de Ropa is supposed to be relatively isolated from outside contact, and the towns of Lewiston, Clarksville, and even Belle Aire, to some extent, were supposed to be good distances away from the action. The map I had found, while having beaches, really didn't give that feeling of 'isolation', so, I figured I'd give his finds a look. Since I really want you all to enjoy this series, immensely, I am going to share with you and let
Cabo de Ropa Redesign Update: Bigger, Better Map
So, I went through about a dozen maps, and every one of them had this wrong, or that wrong and - I wanted this to be the ideal setting for Cabo de Ropa... because this new series is truly encompassing features from so many of my previous series... ...and, I believe I have it. The layout will allow me to create a few different communities, so I can tell more stories and give you all more options, as well, for how you want to participate. So, this is what I'm thinking for the layout for the main part of the series... where much of it takes place... Notice those beautiful beaches!!! So, um, this might be reworked - not crazy about how some of it is coming out - but... I'll get there. The object, though, tonight, is just to let you see the map and where everything will be when it's done. ...and, here, you can see the lake where I have a cabin... and, at that, I'll leave you to look this over and let me know what you think, if you have any ideas... suggestions...
Rewrites: The Bulk of Writing
In case any of you didn't know, a professional writer spends the vast majority of his or her time in two phases of writing... research,,, and rewrites. That's right, when I am working on a mainstream project, the shortest phase of the project is actually writing the original draft of the story. The bulk of the work is researching the topic, to begin with (especially in Sci-Fi, as there are always new developments in scientific discovery and theory...) and then rewrites... the process of elaboration, enhancing, and editing the finished manuscript until it reaches a point where you consider it ready for publication. One of the things I have done, here, on DA - is that everything you have seen in my Gallery is first-draft stuff... no rewrites. This way, I could produce stories for you, quickly, and without a lot of back-and-forth through the rewrite process. However, sometimes rewrites are entirely unavoidable... like, if you forget to save a file - who hasn't done that, right? Well
