Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1052 – June 18, 2015, 11:23:15 PM STAR TREK: THEURGY STATISTICSSorry for taking some of your time with these statistics below, but it has me really excited. Vimeo Promotional TrailerYou know our promotional trailer on Vimeo? It is now hit an amazing 1255 plays since I posted the latest version almost 2 years ago. To put this into perspective, one of our older trailers got a total - ever - of 56 plays on YouTube... and it was up for well over a year. The number of plays increased dramatically when I joined STPMA and TrekCore over six months ago and posted links to our Star Trek: Theurgy story. I have also used some Yahoo Groups to advertise Star Trek: Theurgy, but only with a minor effect. The Vimeo trailer is also linked from our Tumblr blog.DeviantArt GalleryFurthermore, some statistics from our DeviantArt gallery, here is what the statistics summary tells me today: "Auctor-Lucan has 19,780 pageviews in total" (Note: Meaning that our gallery's main page has been visited that many times)"The 234 deviations (images) in their gallery were viewed 117,603 times"."175 deviants watch Auctor-Lucan" (Note: Meaning that we have 175 fans who have asked to receive a notice whenever a new image is posted)"Overall, Auctor Lucan's deviations has received 527 comments and were added to deviants' favourites 4,469 times" (Note: these are the total numbers for all our images)"The deviation with the most comments is "Star Trek: Theurgy" with 19 comments." (Note: Our poster) "The most favourited one is "Deputy-ThanIda-zh'Wannn-Study-02", with 139 favourites." (Note: A recent image in our Boudoir) "The most viewed deviation is "Jien-Ives-Study-01" with 3,958 views." (Note: The one with Jien holding a Aldebaran whiskey glass and wearing lingerie)"In average, every 3.2 days Auctor-Lucan uploads a new deviation.""Average comments per deviation: 2.25""Average favourites per deviation: 19""Average views per deviation: 502""Average comments per day: 0.69""Average favourites per day: 5.86""Average deviation views per day: 154""Average pageviews per day: 25"Tumblr BlogAs of today, our Tumblr blog- where I mainly post our DeviantArt images, some writing tips and reblogg art and writing resources etc. - has a total of 39 followers. I think this is a fairly low number, but I think that given time, our images will be reblogged more and more, and we will attract more followers.The most liked or reblogged post was an image of Natalie Stark that I posted recently, which got 39 notes. Link: http://auctorlucan.tumblr.com/post/121172427994. Unfortunately, i can't seem to find any info on how many notes our blog has gotten in total since it was created.Constant Commissioning Requests on DeviantArtOver the last couple of years, there have been many people who has asked me to make commissioned artwork for other members on DeviantArt, be it artists themselves or fellow roleplayers or GMs on other Star Trek simms. I think the most flattering request came in during the past couple of days. I will mask his/her name out of respect:[Show/Hide]Quote from: Deviation CommentWow!I mean just WOW!I am blown away mate!Outstanding work!Please let me know if you do commissions!Oh and more exclamation point!Quote from: Auctor LucanThanks! I'm quite satisfied with the result too. Unfortunately, making character images is a "service" reserved for members of the Star Trek: Theurgy Group RP. Hope you can find someone else if you need a commissioning though!Best Regards,Auctor LucanQuote from: Received Personal NoteHey,Thanks for the reply, but maybe this would be best in private. I am one of the founders of the XXXXX and I am simply gobsmacked by how good your work is.I wasn't requesting anything free, I am more than willing to pay a fee for great photomanips.I would ask that you reconsider, as your work is just that good to my eye.I await your reply.Thank you.Quote from: Auctor LucanDear XXXXX,I am a member of XXXXX. Are you still active there?Look, I feel I have to explain to you where I am coming from when I say no to taking commissions, so let me tell you my situation. I have full time job, wife and two kids under the age of five, which I am raising in the more modern way of not letting my wife take care of everything. Then I have 14 writers in the Theurgy story that I am in correspondence with, and I also have new applicants to handle most of the time. Then I have the graphics I make for all writers, new and old, because I love doing that too. And I have not even mentioned the moderation of the developing story and the IC writing I do with 12(ish) characters in the story, not to mention the various and brief NPCs that appear along the way, and I do it in my second language, which means it takes me longer to write.In order for me to handle all of this, I have to make priorities and adjust myself to the time I have available. After the kids fall asleep and everything else in the household is handled, I am often online until 1 or 2 am while fighting off weariness and stopping my eyes from shutting in order to run the Theurgy story. Then I get up at 6 or 7 am in order to get to work. A well-paid job, which renders the need for taking commissions completely obsolete, unless people are willing to pay a fee that substantially makes a difference for me.So unless you are willing to pay a rather large fee per image, I have neither time nor interest to take commissions. I am very glad to hear that my work is good enough for you to contact me, and I do not want to come off as an arse since I cannot acquiesce your request, so I hope you'll understand where I am coming from.Best Regards,Auctor LucanQuote from: Received Personal NoteHey,Sadly I am not a very active XXXXX participant anymore, most of the originals left years ago, and as the co-founder I was content to let it be run by XXXXXX.As for your time, I understand. Sadly I must agree with you, but I have to say your photomanips are the best I have ever seen and that you can make white and not have it just looked all washed out was mind blowing to me.Good luck with all your endeavors and if there was a position I wanted I would consider joining your group as a player, sadly none of the open positions appeal to me at present... but I'll keep an eye out Cheers!Quote from: Auctor LucanThank you for your kind words and if you do come up with a character idea that fits the story, just let me know. Best Regards,Auctor LucanQuote from: Then... Another NoteNo worries!Just for shits'n'giggles, how much would "a rather large fee per image" be?Cheers!Quote from: Auctor LucanAs you can imagine, that fully depends on what kind of expectations you have, the hours I have to spend on it, how you want it (different sizes etc.) and when you need it. For all I know, you'd want me to mail you CD-Rs with impossibly large resolution images.To give you a price, you have to be more specific on what you need, how you need it and when you need it. I don't want to fool you here, so I am telling you straight that given my situation, I will be giving you a price that fully reflects my reluctance to take commissions since I don't need the money and I don't have the time.Say, for a 500x800 pixel image where I have full artistic freedom to find source images and without a deadline, I would ask for $500 and I require payment up front. Take it or leave it.Best Regards,Auctor LucanNo reply yet... I wonder why? Hmm...ReflectionsAnyway, I know you guys like the story and all, which the Poll I sent out showed quite clearly, but with all the above... I think I just wanted to let you know that your characters and the depictions of them are not as anonymous as you might think. They are all given plenty of exposure to the Star Trek fandom, and while Gulliver is the only reader that have joined and posted in this thread, I often see "Guests" listed on Who's Online and reading our threads. I hope you all realise how successful this roleplay group is compared to many other simms out there, and how grateful I am towards you all that you want to write this story with me. Lastly, I wrote something in an old Group Report I sent out a year ago, and I think it captured something important. Therefore, I added the text to the front page of our DeviantArt gallery:QuoteAuctor-LucanArtist | Hobbyist | Digital ArtSome people have asked me why I spend so much time on the Theurgy project. The simple answer is that it's fun, and I love both writing and making graphics. But besides this, I have a story to tell, and I want a rewarding way to tell it. Perhaps it’s a bit selfish in the context of a role-playing group, but I am merely referring to the major plot-line. The big brush strokes, because the plot must always leave enough room for all our writers to add upon the story in their own unique ways so that we are all enjoying ourselves. It must be an equal win-win rule to the development, because the creative input of our writers adds upon the story in a way that I could never have done if I wrote this story by myself.These are my biggest motivators: Our writers; with their unique characters; the way they write them; the opportunity to depict them visually with character images; how they make the major storyline come to life in a way I never would have managed on my own, and because they enrich the story with their own desire to make their characters come to life.With this quote of mine, I bid you a great evening, and I hope you will like the upcoming posts of mine.Best Regards,Auctor Lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1053 – June 19, 2015, 02:37:52 AM I am very happy to be a fan both here and at Deviantart. The statistics you showed for DA were interesting to see. Congratulations on your success.

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1055 – June 27, 2015, 05:19:01 AM Just a shout out to Auctor Lucan for his awesomeness in writing XDYou are amazing! I hope we get to write together for a long time.This applies to all of you as well, fellow writers.

Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1056 – June 27, 2015, 05:57:42 AM Sorry, I am so sorry that I have been so slow to respond. I have be doing a lot of little jobs lately. I was going to write up responses around noon where I am, but I ended up instead spending the last 10 hours doing a home repair project...it might take me a while longer, but I will get my response up tonight.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1057 – June 28, 2015, 09:34:31 PM Hi all,My family's here for the next three weeks, so my online time may be a bit more erratic than usual. I won't be completely AFK the whole time, and I will be replying to JPs/posts when I can, but I just wanted to offer a heads up!I'm also going to fix my last reply in the sickbay thread so it gives folks more to react to. So sorry for the confusion!~Lori
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1058 – July 03, 2015, 01:35:14 AM Star Trek: Theurgy AnnouncementHi there everyone! On the side, I have been working on a little project for you all. I got some help to create this, in particular from someone you might recognise when listening to it. I was so excited that he agreed to do this for us!Click the image-link below to see this short teaser on Vimeo for what's to come.I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed making it, even if I had some help this time around. I would love to get some feedback! Its awfully quiet here in the OOC thread sometimes! Best Regards,Auctor LucanPs. Before you all start jumping down my throat... the answer is - of course - no, its not really him, but it might just have been right? Ds.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1063 – July 03, 2015, 06:43:01 AM Very nice. Finially got my post with Aisha done tonight, Now I need to get to work on a post with Miles. Looks at time, Nevermind, I'll do that tomorrow.Reguarding things in my postHope noone had someone at tactical in already if so I apologize for creating an NPC to take the station for my post. If someone hs a character who is supposed to be at tactical jus tell me and i will edit my post as needed. Otherwise info on the two NPCs introduced think of them as literially extras on the set though i doubt we will ever see them again. Manning tactical is http://startrekresolution.wdfiles.com/local--resized-images/jilrian-shi-el/shiel-1.jpg/medium.jpgI took this image from some random Star trek RP (google image searched "young Female security officer Star trek" and it was a result) I imagine this is what she looks like minus being a bajoran. (literally just random character image to place with the character and the name i made was random as hell too. I was picturing her as barely out of academy and either Harbinger or Theurgy was her first assignment. I imagined her as being either a Human or Unjoined trill though the idea of having her being one of the few and very rare Orion's working for the Federation was a thought I had as well.As for the NPC of the yellowshirt crewman male guard. http://www.series-80.net/acteurs/zeljko-ivanek/acteur_zeljko-ivanek_1308673637_2.jpg I dont know why this image seems to peronify the way i was imagining the character but it does. To me the expression to me to me just reads, I dont give a fuck about anything, I have no morals, and if i dont get anything out of it then it don't matter.so yea theres some faces to place on the NPCs i just threw out there.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1064 – July 03, 2015, 05:38:40 PM Pretty impressive video. Looking forward to what the future holds! As for posting, summer madness has arrived in my town which means double work pressure in the hospital where I work. I'm trying to fill in my time as good as I can to get replies out, yet keep in mind that I have serious delays while writing them out. EDIT: Should have replied to all my posts, PM me if I missed anything
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1065 – July 03, 2015, 05:44:29 PM That was astounding. For a second I thought my characters were going to jump out of my head and join the show...Wait...oh...ouch...they just did. Don't mind the blood, folks, just my creative juice bursting out in a freaky manner.Still alive, and still astounded.And that voice...>.><.<O.OI'ma go faint now.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1066 – July 03, 2015, 11:30:04 PM Amazing Picard-ian voice! I'm looking forward to the finished version.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1067 – July 04, 2015, 11:30:49 PM Lol, this is the finished version since its a stand-alone project. A teaser, if you will, for Episode 04. The large trailer is another project entirely, but I have some additional Picard monologue to add to it once I can get around to update the trailer.Glad to hear you guys liked it too!Best Regards,Auctor Lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1068 – July 05, 2015, 02:54:47 PM First time writing as Edena Rez (and Jona) in Retaliation. Hope I did okay.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1069 – July 06, 2015, 01:03:47 AM It looked great! I will be replying with a short post with Ives to finish that scene in 04: Retaliation and then set things up for a continuation in 07: Undoing. Getting too late here though so it won't be tonight. I was up to 3 am last night and feeling the effects now.Best Regards,Auctor lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1070 – July 07, 2015, 01:56:07 AM Auctor, you just went Terminator with Declan. :PGreat writing and emotional output there. I totally felt the fear and tension.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1071 – July 07, 2015, 02:06:16 AM Thank you! I am glad that the subtle T2 reference came off as it should, heh heh.Can't wait to read who is taken hostage!Best Regards,Auctor Lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1072 – July 08, 2015, 04:36:00 AM Sorry I haven't been able to post lately everyone internet issues and work have sort of been working against me in tandem hopefully I can get one done tonight.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1073 – July 18, 2015, 02:41:01 PM FYI for everyone, I'm currently stuck with night shifts at work. Needless to say, these shifts are not great for roleplaying and our pretty much wrecking havoc in my posting schedules. Will get back to posting once I'm more awake and return to my daily rhythm/routines.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #1074 – July 19, 2015, 01:53:59 AM Thanks for the information, Nolan! It's awesome that you guys share your posting situation here in the OOC thread so that the whole group is made privy to the information. Otherwise, I will have to PM what little I know between you guys when you wonder why there have not been any replies of late.As I have PM:ed to some of you about lately, RosariaRosette and IronFerrox are next to post in 07: Undoing when it comes to the development on the Theurgy's main bridge and the flight hangar. Hopefully they can get to their posting soon. I think that the other active scenes are less confusing about who is next to post, and the writers are aware that its their turn, me included.New Character IntroductionsAs you may have seen here: http://houseeros.com/roleplay-role-playing-forum/index.php?topic=25901.0 ...we have had a few new characters listed for the upcoming Episode. Here they are, with links to their character sheets: Ens. Six Forensic Scientist Officer Starbase 84 - Played by Vystori Cpt. Tristan Kendrick Commanding Officer USS Resolve - Played by Triage Ens. Krystal Tancredi Fighter Pilot USS Resolve - Played by Triage F'Rell Warp Field Specialist USS Resolve - Played by SirusSome of these characters will belong to the crew of the USS Resolve, which will be docked at Starbase 84 during the time of the Theurgy's arrival.With this list, I take the opportunity to welcome - in advance - our newest member of the Star Trek: Theurgy Group! Namely, Vystori (who is also a forum moderator here on House of Eros, just like Brutus). Looking forward to what stories may come of all these new characters as soon as I can get that sub-board up and post the first couple of threads.New Non-Canon Species: T'Fanrell (and two familiar ones)New information on our non-canon species has been added to our board, this in terms of three species. Two we all might be familiar with, and one is brand new: the T'fanrell. Here are the image-links:With the addition of these, only the Asurian species lack some info, but in related news, Cathreen Dawinter has ceased to reply to PMs and emails. Checking her profile on House of Eros, she was last active 2015-06-12, so let's all hope she is alive and well out there. With any hope, she will give us a life-sign soon. In the meantime, I will try to resolve her character's scenes in the current episode, but after that, I will either let Dyan Cardamone's presence on the ship fade into the background, or if enough time as passed, put her up for being inherited by anyone interested. If there are no takers, she will probably be killed off during the Starbase 84 scenes.I think that's all for now! Looking forward to you guys posting and to let us all end this Episode with a bang. Then, the Interregnum 03-04 and Episode 04: Simulcast sub-boards will be created for us all to delve as deep as we want to into character development and introductions. Best Regards,Auctor Lucan
