View Award - Rose Award

« Back to Awards

Awarded to the crew member/s that has made significant "romantic" character advancements. This has become an award in itself because romance gives a sense of realism adds dimension to a character. Because this aspect of literature can often be very difficult to write, players that progress their character romantically deserve recognition

Lieutenant Colonel Azhul Naxea Thu Jun 15th, 2023 @ 11:30am	While many writers go for relationship plot lines, it is wonderful to see two writers actually getting into the nitty gritty of a relationship: The raising of their child With Naxea and S'hib, not only are we seeing a familial difference of doing things (like the guy being from Cleveland and the woman being from Singapore), but we are being treated to a completely opposite social way of doing things. While I am not completely familiar with how Bajorans and Saquus raise their young, these two writers make it where one doesn't need to know. They expertly fold the reader into the dynamic, almost as if we are part of the family. Very well done, the both of you!! Bill Aka Tonelly

Consul Andrinn Orin Thu Jun 15th, 2023 @ 11:27am	While growing friendships between characters is a relatively easy thing to write, the work required to move that relationship past friends, to lovers, is very delicate. Watching the relationship between Andrinn and Sam is a very touching and enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to seeing where life takes them next. Bill aka Cmdr Kyle Reece

Captain Gary Taylor Thu Feb 23rd, 2023 @ 8:54am	For his post "Tin Man", this post has many points which warrant this award. To many to mention, but in short this post shows Jeff's writing talents of fully. Well done and here's to many more posts like this in the future. Commander Lia Taylor (Ayesha) Chief Security Officer USS Elysium
Commodore Phoenix Lalor-Richardson Mon Dec 12th, 2022 @ 7:18am	I always love reading posts involving Phoenix and Mattias, our newly weds. They have a natural writing style together, which always makes their posts enjoyable to read.
Captain David Tonelly [Reece] Mon Dec 12th, 2022 @ 7:17am	For Mattias Richardson, as well as his main character and other npcs. All wonderfully written romantic partnerships.
Lieutenant Commander Aurelia Taylor Mon Dec 12th, 2022 @ 7:17am	The many layers of love that Lia and Gary have for each other are on display in the JP "Decision Reached" This pair not only loves each other dearly but respects each other as well. That is due in large part to the marvelous writing of Ayesha as Lia. She writes Lia as believable, enjoyable character. Jeff aka Captain Gary Taylor
Commodore Phoenix Lalor-Richardson Sat Oct 1st, 2022 @ 10:57am	Nominated for both authors of Captain Phoenix Lawlor and Captain Mattias Richardson. For their series of posts about their Wedding Day. The wedding posts are lots of fun. And the crew seems to really enjoy being around each other. Lots of kissy face, hand holding and buckets of sweet, syruppy, gooey, warm baked, just from the oven, sticky, love droppings. It's like Cupid has modernized his arsenal and upgraded from a bow and arrow to a marine TR-116, rapid fire rifle. With extra ammo power pack and extra cartridge carrier with a cool patch on it. Something cool like, IDK....."Love sucks; and then you're married." Complete with rifle butt pads. Nice ass scope, USB-C charging port, phaser emitter and optional tri-pod stand. But yeah - modernized his arsenal. My point is that the Romance seems to be appreciated and enjoyed and its fun to see folks drunk with love. So, yeah. Thanks. :) Good job and such. :)

Lieutenant Colonel Azhul Naxea Mon Aug 1st, 2022 @ 2:23pm	In watching her life unfold, it is so clear that she is the perfect partner, in life and in love, with S'hib. Now that they are expecting, it is wonderful to witness what this new chapter of life means to the both of them. Well done! Bill-aka-Tonelly
Lieutenant Commander S'hib Mon Aug 1st, 2022 @ 2:23pm	It is clear to even a new reader of their story, that S'hib is in complete and total love with Naxea. Seeing their story, and as he said, their herd, grow has been a very enjoyable read. I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to do so. I look forward to what life gives them next. Great Job! Bill-aka-Tonelly
Commodore Phoenix Lalor-Richardson Thu Jun 30th, 2022 @ 11:35am	For the romantic fantasy series about the lives of a couple of El Aurians in feudal Japan, "Life Never Ending" is definitely the most recent "chick flick". Its a beautifully crafted tale that shows the evolution and discovery between two lost souls who find each other and start to have a life together. Tastefully done and worthy of a nomination. Thank you for the enjoyable read.

Captain Garrett Lovejoy [ Taylor] Wed Jun 1st, 2022 @ 9:07am	For the post Home On The Range Part 2 - A rather loverly outing on the holodeck reveals just how much two people care for each other. And the length they went to save each other as well. Appreciated the excellent story. For both writers, Garrett and Lia. Even the bit of humor where the holographic snake gets its holographic head blown off. Classic.

Lieutenant Baeryn Whavi-Tonelly Mon Jan 31st, 2022 @ 9:54am	Her devotion to David Tonelly is very believable. Watching the relationship continue to grow is very enjoyable to read.
Lieutenant Colonel Azhul Naxea Mon Jan 31st, 2022 @ 9:54am	How she cares for S'hib is both believable and touching. I am curious to see where their relationship goes :-)
Lieutenant Commander S'hib Mon Jan 31st, 2022 @ 9:54am	How he cares for Naxea is both believable and touching. He also seems quite conscious of their size differences and he always seems to treat her carefully. I am curious to see where their relationship goes :-)
Commodore Phoenix Lalor-Richardson Wed Dec 1st, 2021 @ 12:19pm	Watching her grow, it is quite clear, and without any falsehoods, that she truly loves Mattias to her core. Though Malakai may have thought they were an odd-pairing, there is no doubt in my mind that she loves Mattias Richardson lock, stock and barrel.
Ensign Edward D'Gracefull Mon Nov 1st, 2021 @ 7:09am	Though there was no romantic overture written, reading these two go back and forth in their rapid-fire manners, they are perfect for each other! Like Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farafowler. Lol I am looking forward to reading about the two of them more. :-)

Commander Arrianna Salannis an Vantar Sat Jul 31st, 2021 @ 7:52pm	The depth of Arrianna's feelings for her partner Josephine has been clearly shown in recent posts and their feelings for each other are clearly on display.
Lieutenant Baeryn Whavi-Tonelly Fri Jun 11th, 2021 @ 12:18pm	For her beautifully realistic dedication to David, especially during his various medical and El Aurian issues. I am very excited to see where things go between the two characters.
Lieutenant Baeryn Whavi-Tonelly Sun May 9th, 2021 @ 7:07am	For wonderfully written romantic posts with partner David Tonnelly.

Captain Gary Taylor Thu Apr 1st, 2021 @ 7:46am	Once again our romantic XO exceled himself with his recollections of his past and present wife's, how he can simply write these is beyond me. I tried it once and failed, yet he does it again and again. So here is his reward.
Captain Gary Taylor Mon Nov 2nd, 2020 @ 8:05am	his NPC Scott Gregory has two sides, both well shown in the mission Know thy Self and the relationship between Scott and Sapphire has grown slowly but steadily over the course of this mission.
Commodore Phoenix Lalor-Richardson Mon Nov 2nd, 2020 @ 8:05am	Her NPC Sapphire Morgan has two sides, both well shown in the mission Know thy Self and the relationship between Sapphire and Scott has grown slowly but steadily over the course of this mission.
Captain Gary Taylor Thu Aug 6th, 2020 @ 7:29am	For "Grateful" a beautiful post that shows what love means to a man who's had to live in the darkness for years before finally getting another chance to walk in the light.
Sun Jul 12th, 2020 @ 7:43am	For the doomed relationship between Lt. Tallia Strode and Lt. Carter Smith. While it was sad to see Tallia's first relationship end so quickly and tragically, it was a joy to watch their love beginning to bloom. My heart bleeds for Tallia, but I still think she deserves this award.
Sat May 23rd, 2020 @ 6:08pm	For the budding romance between Nikita Lomax, Anje's cousin, and Empress Alena, Arri's cousin. The relationship between the kissing cousins is too cute for words.
Commander Arrianna Salannis an Vantar Sat May 23rd, 2020 @ 6:08pm	For the budding romance between Empress Alena, Arri's cousin, and Nikita Lomax, Anje's cousin, coming from a blind date arranged by Nikita's grandmother, the vaunted Wolf Queen. The relationship between the pair I've called the kissing cousins is just too cute for words.
Captain Gary Taylor Wed Apr 8th, 2020 @ 8:18am	This award, at it's core, is about love, and love isn't always romance, seduction, and hooking up, sometimes it's the fatherly love of a man and the little blueberry who stole his heart. For that reason I'm nominating Cdr. Taylor for the Rose Award for his loving attention as Tayalas' father figure.
Lieutenant JG Gallia Norris Wed Apr 8th, 2020 @ 8:18am	For the sweet interactions between Baby Tayalas and Cdr. Gary Taylor, who I think we can safely call Tay's father figure. This award is about love, and love isn't always romance and seduction, and I feel this familial love experienced between these two characters and shared with the rest of us should be rewarded as such.
Lieutenant Nevada McKay Mon Feb 17th, 2020 @ 8:57pm	For "Dreams of Loves Past" a beautiful tale of two women, one a Warden, the other her prisoner, falling in love set against the backdrop of the worst war in the history of the galaxy.
Captain Gary Taylor Fri Jan 31st, 2020 @ 8:11am	For "One More for the Road." Beautiful, poignant, and heartbreaking with enough light optimism to make the rainbow worth enduring the rain. PLEASE GIVE HIM THIS AWARD!!!
Lieutenant Colonel Azhul Naxea Sat Jan 4th, 2020 @ 10:34am	For her new romance with Lt. S'hib. Mismatched, yet adorable.
Lieutenant Commander S'hib Sat Jan 4th, 2020 @ 10:34am	For his new relationship with Maj. Naxea, I love reading them together.
Thu Aug 15th, 2019 @ 9:25pm	For the passionate, though ultimately doomed, relationship between Anje and Merella Swii. It burned hot, then burned out, but it was beautiful while it lasted.
Commander Liselle Qwyyn Thu Aug 15th, 2019 @ 9:25pm	For the passionate, though ultimately doomed, relationship between Anje Brett and Merella. It burned hot, then burned out, but it was beautiful while it lasted.

Thu Aug 15th, 2019 @ 9:25pm	For the passionate, though ultimately doomed, relationship between Anje Brett and Merella. It burned hot, then burned out, but it was beautiful while it lasted. Terrific writing by both characters makes this a most read JP!
Ensign Kara Hoffman Tue Jul 30th, 2019 @ 6:06pm	How do you write romance at such a dire time? Easy, have people think you are cheating on your fiancee. The player of this character has shown a depth in their writing and skill in making people eager for a resolution and for the couple to reunite.

Thu May 2nd, 2019 @ 8:54pm	For her writing as Mona in the budding romance with Fernando. It is warm and funny and most importantly very real. It is heartwarming to read such a well crafted character.
Lieutenant Commander Aurelia Taylor Sun Apr 14th, 2019 @ 8:41am	I believe the writer of Lia Holmes deserves this award for her ongoing relationship with Gary Taylor. Their relationship ebbs and flows, shifts and changes like the tide and through it all she finds the strength to go on and make their relationship work. Jeff
Sun Apr 7th, 2019 @ 8:47pm	For her unexpected and wonderfully loving relationship with Chief Petty Officer Liorga, displayed beautifully when Liorga was kidnapped during the Cortic VI mission.
Ensign Kara Hoffman Sun Apr 7th, 2019 @ 8:47pm	Long overdue for the relationship between Lt. Hoffman and Lt. JG Gallia Norris who've quickly and organically gone from strangers to a family including their totally adorable baby, Tayalas.
