Welcome[edit]
Too many years playing PBeMs?[edit]
More 2018! We're back. STF is giving all its got in an attempt to get back into what it does best, posting and having fun. The site is undergoing a transformation and we've joined two ships together. A PR campaign is about go ahead, once all the site work is done and we're going to see if there is anyone else other who wants to play Star Trek email games again.
Me again, its 2018, well, well. On top of work, I am 3 years into Masters... with years to go (doing it very slowly), what little time I did have is less than ever. Good to see the game alive, and running, thanks to a group of dedicated people. I may (I may already) have sneaked onto a ship from time to time, just to keep my writing skills up!
Oh noes, its 2012, it happened again... doh. More updates needed...
Oh dear, its 2010 - what happened? I'm nearly 40... what next? Will it be 2015 before I update this again?? Read my interview at http://www.startrekfreedom.com/wiki/index.php/Newsletter/Fall_2008 and another one here http://www.ongoingworlds.com/blog/2010/05/interview-with-anthony-keen-from-the-star-trek-freedom-pbem/
Anthony seems to be destined to hang around forever! It's 2007 and that means, eek, that I've been doing this for 10 years. Great, now I feel old.
VERY Brief Overview[edit]
It's a long, long, long tale too much to go into here, so... blah, 1997, blah, met someone in the FGN, moved 12,000 miles, married them, made Phoenix, Freedom, Utopia Planitia, SFI, Utopia Planitia+Bravofleet, Freedom again, met 15 or so other PBeMers around the world, including New Zealand, Hawaii, Canada, UK... still playing.
Made the website 6 times over, there will be no more! Ever! Stop sniggering Trout!
First and only CO was Arnaud Malhere, one of the original founders of the FGN, I made CO in May 1998. Thanks to Ian Walker, Phil Rothwell, Justin Smith and anyone else around from the old, old days (if you find this via Google, surprise!).
More fantastic FOs than you can shake a stick at, including Liz Geuken, Wendy Gibson, Wendy Keen, Jo Goodman, Katherine Mazurok, and of course, Alan Reading... go Alan!
