Rose Award

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

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!!

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.

For Mattias Richardson, as well as his main character and other npcs. All wonderfully written romantic partnerships.

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.

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. :)

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
