Dear Mun,

I am exceptionally proud of you for not only putting in an application to a large RP, but also making an a productive attempt to work on your issues in personal security. Remember, when you begin to experience self-doubt it's far more productive to adjust your focus on improvement rather than being what you perceive as an inconvenience.

For example, I find that after you read a book or peruse portions of literature you have been fond of in the past, your prose becomes far more readable and leads the story on, making it more well received by your fellow role-players and encourages replies. If you find yourself unable to focus on the duration of a prompt and have difficulty implementing a suitable voice to write it, often other individuals would gladly engage in game related threads or personal storylines in relation to the idea that has brought you to a quandary. There are still also players that you have yet to thread with that you have been greatly anticipating.

It is also fine to be shy, as over the internet you are not required to become physically involved with other individuals in the way that is essential for table-top or live action. I would much rather you maintain enjoyment of writing me than pressure yourself to meet any sort of standard beyond keeping my character true and your continued interest solidified. I recall the last time you came to dislike creating artwork or fiction involving me, and you failed to acknowledge my existence for five years. Take breaks where necessary, focus on your salubrity, and know that if another one is needed I will still be waiting for your attention at the end of it.

That being said... I am uncertain as to whether I appreciate your recent plots which range from amnesia to being kidnapped by Orion pirates and having Shinzon deceive me while in the guise of Picard. Yet I suppose it means that you're... interested....

3.B.) What do you think of cloning?”

I once had an interesting discussion with my father. I wished to know why it was that he had constructed me, and he sat me down and proceeded to assist me in working out the answer on my own. He pointed out to me that humans have not only a tendency to indulge in the past, but also wish to see themselves in their reproduction. It is a form of continuity, a sense of immortality.

Notes: I was really busy last month and am slowly getting caught up on a prompt surge. I couldn't resist going back and doing this one.
