Blake and Tristam Core are the two PCs I keep coming back to for various reasons. They are my ever evolving project — they grow as I do. If you compare my simming from 2011 to my sims in 2020, I like to think I've improved a significant amount not only in just how I write, but also in how I think about and develop my characters. And that partially comes with a lot of maturation on my part. I've come to appreciate a good slow burn. I had an entire year where I developed a time travel character that popped up every so often before [[Ayden Blake (Flashpoint)|he was finally dropped into a sim]]. TLDR; "growth" is my biggest achievement. | Blake and Tristam Core are the two PCs I keep coming back to for various reasons. They are my ever evolving project — they grow as I do.

There have been a number of out of character ones, also. I like to think my fleet partnership with [[User:Rich]] has resulted in some cool stuff over the last six years, including but not limited to [[118Wiki:Operations]], {{USS|Veritas}}, [[Player Achievements]], etc. I helped kick our [[2020 Address]] into gear along side [[User:Jocelyn Marshall]] as well.

I'm very proud to have contributed to the [[Federation News Service]] — one of the pieces of which I ended up using for my writing CV. | ||

I've been here since 2011. In 2025, this group will still be going, I'm sure of it. $5 says it outlasts Discord and Google Groups. | I've been here since 2011. In 2025, this group will still be going, I'm sure of it. $5 says it outlasts Discord and Google Groups. | ||
*'''How do you think this group has contributed to Star Trek's legacy? How has the group contributed to the internet community?''' | |||
118 is evidence that a purely online community works. There are ups and downs, like any group will inevitably go through for a variety of reasons, but with a strong member base, with a list of values and morals we all have and one unifying purpose, 118 is a joyful place to be. | |||
Before ''Star Trek: Picard'' began to air, 118 was really the only place leaning into the Star Trek timeline, post-''Nemesis''. The group developed [https://www.fednewsservice.com the FNS], which allows us to publish fictional news story in this universe for people ''outside'' of our community to look at. ''Star Trek'' book writers have seen this thing and have commented on it, the general public have seen this thing and commented on it. FNS would not have otherwise existed without a community group like Starbase 118 to continue to sustain it. These little things can do so much to fuel a fandom, to generate interest when interest is otherwise lacking. That's incredibly important for the franchise, and I don't think enough people recognise that. | |||
