A BOLD NEW CONCEPT
Spartan-fleet
Simulations combines the best of high-quality novel writing with real-time,
interactive character simulation. Unlike a role-playing game there is only enough
structure to provide writers with a necessary creative framework. Unlike
writing books, Spartan-fleet Simulations provides a dynamic, interactive
environment. Participants set their pace and choose the level of interaction
they wish to enjoy. Department Heads and senior officers help develop the
skills of the writers in their departments.
Spartan-fleet
Simulations also provides a unified setting. For example, all sims set within
Star Trek: the Next Generation © share the same setting so that events in one
sim are reflected in others. This creates a “living” environment that grows and
changes with the creators.
UNLEASHED CREATIVITY
Spartan-fleet
Simulations strives to be true to chosen settings without restricting
participants to those settings. New technologies, new races, and creative use
of existing story material are encouraged. To support writers Spartan-fleet
sims provides a wealth of support material ranging from a story archive to maps
and documents detailing critical information necessary to produce high-quality
work.
In
addition, Spartan-fleet Simulations encourages participating writers to explore
character development in great depth and detail. Writers can proceed at their
pace and participate both with individual character story arcs and group
stories. Opportunities for advancement both for writers and for characters are
available, offering a tangible sense accomplishment for creativity.
Posting
minimums are light to accommodate the needs of working writers but many writers
work together on projects of considerable size, depth, and quality. “Tagging”
is not allowed. All scenes must be complete.
UNPARALLELED QUALITY
Participants
in Spartan-fleet Simulations are proud of the quality of their work. Writing is
in third-person, past-tense like one sees in most published novels. Spelling
and grammar are set to high school minimum as well. Spell checking and grammar
programs are acceptable for most writing.
Standards
and writing format are the same across the fleet. Writers participating in one
of our sims know what to expect from others. Writers focus on having fun, not
on figuring out how the sim works.
Intellectual
property rights are honored at Spartan-fleet Simulations. Permission is granted
only for use within sims and archives are accessible only by participants. We
stake no claims to original material offered by participating writers.
