Posted by Ava Henson in OOC: Retiring from STF Mid September
Hello Everyone -

I just want to say I’ve had a great time writing and roleplaying with everyone in the club. However, for several real life reasons I have found myself lacking the proper time and motivation to continue to offer quality writing and interactions. Therefore, by mid September, I plan on moving on from STF.

I leave with many regrets. My plans for a ship class of my own lay incomplete. Storylines I may never be able to finish. And the beginnings of friendships never to be written. And I sincerely apologize to all those to whom I have obligations. But when added to the other obligations - my work in the ministry and the improved scrutiny my worksite is facing - it has all become too much.

Even though I was only a small part of her history, I hope for many more years and many more adventures to take place aboard my beloved Levi. It is bittersweet leaving, but I have confidence in her Captain and her crew.

The Saracen is another ship I am especially fond of, and it saddens me to leave again after such a short time. Take courage, you have a good crew aboard, a great sim ahead, and you will bounce back.

I regret that I didn’t have much time on the Asimov or the Memorial. Poetically, it seems I have come full circle — leaving STF just as T’Mor is coming onto the Asimov. Though this time, much more international. My roles on these ships may be small, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time. I will miss writing with Linds and will likely not have a chance to read the end of Jack’s sim.

I hope STF can continue on, and this corner of the internet can be a safe and welcoming space for all Star Trek fans, old and new. I hope it brings joy and continues to offer a much needed creative outlet. I will miss being apart of it with you all.

Peace, and Long Life
- Ava H.

I was very much looking forward to getting to know Todd. All the best. Live long… and prosper!

So sorry to hear this news, Ava, but all us have been in the same place you are right now, so we understand.

Good luck to you in your future endeavors and if you are able to come back some day, you’ll have a spot on the Saracen!! –Terry

I just started writing with you and even though it was fleeting, I have loved every minute. I hope you can come back again one day. It was so much fun writing with you. Best of luck in all you do.
