Being drug down to the deep end is no fun.
Just remember to check your 'paths' before you commit to just one.

You bring up a good piont. I feel that the kiss and the following confusion is ripe for a scene between kaylee and Simon. I wanted to talk to you more about it, but all I really have is an image of Simon showing up in the Engine Room with a origami orchid. It is a scene I woild like to play before the crew reaches Hera.

Gimme an email if you want to email/IM about it or even do a 'blended' post.

EDIT
smeagol sez that the UpAbovvie post is a slice and smash of an email from the Cap'n. Not smeagol's words.

smagol nows not why Cap'n wounnt let smeagol just pass the word, but demanded smeagol do a slice and smash.

Cap'n must be a TrixieTwit.

Hey Teela - I did like it. I'll be sending you more stuff on Rowan's family and background soon, promise.

Whatever you want to do is fine with me. We can either do a blended thingy (ok, YOU could do a blended thingy ), or we could just arrange a time to be online together, and post that way. Whichever.

Channain and Squee- I did another. This is way shiny, thanks for the suggestion.

Here's my two cents.

Blended posts - fun, yes, but time-consuming and occasionally difficult to formulate when RL issues crop up and inhibit a player's availability to write (e.g. Rowan/Niska fight). I'm all in favor of them being utilized, but not exclusively. Also, I don't believe less is more in this case - longer posts can make a thread load just as slowly as a bunch of little ones. Plus, waiting for a blended post to appear often leaves the rest refining thumb-twidling techniques or playing Bejewled until there's something to do.

I'm not sure what the answer is. I do know that trying to create an absolute limit seems a bit unrealistic. We've already proven in the past that we're not a very short-winded group. Trying to limit the number of posts we have to do to do justice to the characters and the story is like trying to catch the wind without a sail. It could cheat our story tellers of enough time and space to formulate a good, long, CapnRahn-style arc.

From what I'm seeing here, I don't think there's a way to limit the length of an RP without the director going quiety mad ("No, Wait! Don't post that there! We're done with that thread! There's an arc - DIDN'T YOU SEE THE ARC? Smeagol! SMITE that huhn dahn!"). The best you can hope for is create a few helpful rules, try to keeping the players from going off into too many untimely tangents, do a location update every 15-20 posts or so and just keep switching to a new thread when the current one hits 100. Any more than that and our director may have to be taken away in a rubber truck.

To Geezer and the rest of the crew.

I would like to make a request:
I have a complete idea for a episode or mini I would like to try out and 'run' as director.

If there is an idea already in place for the next episode, I would like to run my idea as the episode following that, if is OK with everyone.

I won't be able to start Dragonfly as soon as I had hoped. So I thought I would ask if I could
practice on you folks.

Capn- hold that thought.

Channain- we need a pow wow. I'll e-mail you.

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

Thanks Squee, Flight of Fancy 101 in holding pattern at outer marker ...

Oh, there is someone who would like to join us as a guest star.

She will be coming on as sort of a lead in/spin off of Dragonfly.

and 'she' is : Merzades Troy! -- Playing - Merz!
She would like to be 'picked up' at Serenity Valley. This ole Cap'n has a few nice and nasty ideas he needs to foreshadow ... hee hee heeeeeeee...

Merz is not bringing any extra story stuff right at the moment- more like setting up stuff for later episodes and the spin-off, Dragonfly.

And Saint Jayne has been talked into doing a guest shot for my episode idea as ... ex Alliance Pilot, Dysseus Hlastoni, also from DF.

BTW, do we have a rock soild 'person' to be picking up the guns on New Hokkido?

If not, I nominate Hlastoni - fer my own nefarious purposes, o-course!

Wow seems like lots of goings on during my absence. You are all doing great posts and the ideas our RP directors have for the next episode sound great. Can't wait for vacation to catch up on my postings.

The Hero of Canton, the man they call... Meeeeee!
