I have been watching Star Trek since I was a young boy hooked on Season 2 of TNG. Since then I have dreamed of the stars, and distant places. I also dreamed of piloting exotic space craft so much that I pursued a pilot’s license in real life. Another long time hobby of mine has always been fictional writing however, I found I sometimes lacked the inspiration needed to write consistently.

Approximately 6 months ago a friend invited me to check out the UFOP:Starbase-118 community.  I was extremely impressed with the step by step training system and the friendly mentorship I received right off the bat, and as a result, I caught on to the format of the SIM a lot quicker than I anticipated and gained the confidence to add my own style and idea’s to the storylines without fear of rejection or ridicule. The people are always friendly and always willing to help, whether it be via email, yahoo groups, forums, wiki, or a hundred other means.

UFOP:Starbase-118 gives me a place to write consistently, while gaining inspiration from the wide variety of storylines and characters to SIM. It also allows me to interact with an extremely welcoming, and social group of likeminded writers. This has been a wonderful and extremely addictive experience so far! I’m looking forward to diving into new aspects of the Starbase 118 world in the writing contests and Out of Character services in the near future as well. There really is something for just about everyone in this group!!
