And feel free to ask any of us if you want to do a collaborative post, or include one or more of our characters. We don't bite. Avalar nibbles a bit when she gets peckish, but we don't bite.

Ah, advice taken. I'm too used to old "post an action and some description, then wait to see what everyone else does" play-by-post.
I have to say, VE's system feels freeing, if a little nerve-wracking.
Length is now up to 677 words, and Taltos has arrived in support of Strill, but has an Interceptor on his tail bent on avenging its wingman!
Edit: @G
Thanks! It may take me a little while to be comfortable taking over other peoples characters, but as I wriggle my toes in the pool of VE, anyone please feel free to take over T or his fighter for a hot second if you think it would assist in his introduction.

It's a little different than the typical flash-fiction type of play-by-post rpg, but it's hard to argue with the results.  And I'll add that that style of rapid posting of tiny snippets, each of which builds directly on what comes before, isn't out of the question for various VE competitions/stories... it's just not the norm around here.
Thanks for making those changes; the post is very exciting!

I totally understand coming from a different rp background. When I came to the VE, I had been taught that using another person's character was complete taboo, and it was very nerve-wracking to write that way. Now that I've been here, I don't know how I used to write that way at all.
And now I have to read! Multitasking finals and reading/editing has been interesting to say the least >.>

I await with great anticipation and obsessive page-refreshing the next Strill Squadron post! If anyone has input on how Taltos should best get involved or collaborative ideas, I'd love to hear them. It seems like we'll have our hands full with Dominion AA and Interceptors until the Defiance arrives. Another big woop for the Captain's Own and our squadronmate, the Imperial Guardian!

Strill Weekly Report 05/04/2013 May the 4th be with you! The Story as it StandsOverarching AAR: The first battle of the Sollamens ended and Strill was given a momentary reprieve. Some of the pilots were injured and many were killed. Of course, the silence couldn’t last. Troopers from inside the asteroid have started their attack aboveground. Strill took to the air to do strafing runs. Meanwhile ID TIEs battle us in the air. To make matters worse, the ground troops have rockets. The fighting continues and there is no doubt that many will be lost or injured.
Injured Strill pilots: Makenna Thatcher(?)
Dead Strill pilots: Penom (NPC)
Enemy numbers: A hell of a lot. I’m not even going to try to keep tabs on this one.
Strill roster (which is constantly updated) can be found here
Our wiki page is also actually up to date!Words from your SC and XOSC: Good job folks. We reached our goal and have now surpassed it. I know for a fact one of our new toys is coming right at the end of this story. Everything else is a surprise even to me. However our biggest toy is something Avvie and I have worked hard to get us. It will let us to truly become a force of hybrid pilots and commandos. So, keep up the good work and let's knock this story out of the park completely.
XO: As Joa said, we had a request way back in the beginning for something special, and with the record setting, we have made that a reality. So sit tight and wait for the end of the story to see what our surprise is. Also, I want to say a personal job well done to everyone, even Joa. When Strill was created, we weren’t doing so well and shutting us down seemed possible. Now look at us. We’re writing beyond the level required of us, and we were pivotal in helping to break this record. Everything you guys will receive is well deserved. But it’s not over yet! If you want that prize at the end, you gotta keep posting

Been struggling a little bit with writer's block. I've got several half-posts written, will be edited and revised into a real post after work.
I'm thinking T will duel his most recent opponent and come out badly until G arrives, then end up providing air cover to Thatcher against Dominion troopers as they close in.
Trying to decide if he should get shot down, EVA'd or neither. Maybe the Dominion has something up their sleeve that T could sacrifice his Interceptor to take out; I don't have a detailed enough mental image of Gwodd to know what.
I figure T needs to pull off something cool enough to get him noticed, but not too "grr, I'm a badass" for his rookie smuggler self or unrealistically beyond his abilities.
Any input? Gur, I figured Grent would be with T as we arrive over Thatcher, and be an experienced enough pilot to stay in the air when T gets reckless; that sound good?
I need some fresh ideas.

Most probably, Grent would stick with the Defiance and provide support for the shooting it couldn't do. He will get injured, worse than he already is with his cracked ribs, and is going to fly a shuttle full of wounded from the asteroid to the Adj. I'll quite happily write with you, if you need some help, or give you some pointers. Then we can post one after the other, or whatever. An idea could be that Tal shoots down a ID bomber that's heading for the Defiance. Alternatively, if you wanted something more dramatic, he could dive in front of a heat seeking missile, and force it to lock onto him, rather than whatever or whoever it was heading for. What happens is up to you.

Writer's block sucks a lot. Hope you get past it! Sometimes the best way is to drag yourself kicking in screaming unfortunately. XD And what's this about flying over Thatcher? O.o He did get blown up >.> and might be somewhere in the rubble..... missing a limb or something

I had this planned since the very moment I wrote Thatcher. I'm surprised something I planned so far in advanced was actually able to be implemented. XD Buuuut, he is still alive! And with comms down, there's enough confusion to play around with.

Hahaha, I'll steer clear of the downed bird then.
I like your missile idea, G; got some tangents off that. I don't want T racking up two many kills his first time out; 2 is pretty good as-is, I might end up with three but that's pushing it (Would qualify for ace status in most air forces. Want to get Top Gun before that).
Going EVA would be a good excuse for him to get picked up and brought before Joamer after the battle, too.

I think that, after this is all been and done, and promotions and shines are handed out, I'm going to treat myself to a new photoshoped avatar.
If anyone is wondering why I'm posting this here, it's for two reasons:
1. So that I don't forget
2. If anyone wants me to photoshop whilst I'm already photoshopping, let me know. All I need is a picture, and a description of what you want done to it.

You read my mind. I'm also gonna create another one. This one is... not so great. And I have this tradition where I tend to make a new avatar based on my position. XD
