A serial roleplay, or "SRP" for short, is an episodic series of roleplay sessions tied together by a central continuity. They generally run for several "seasons," each consisting of six to ten episodes focused on a major story thread. Series that run for multiple seasons usually shift the major plot points of the story at the beginning of each season.
SRPs are a massive responsibility, both creatively and personally. The members who participate will be counting on you to guide them on your journey through the Star Trek universe, as well as managing the resources necessary to discuss and plan it out. If you want to tell a story, but you're unsure of your ability to handle an undertaking of this magnitude, a "mini" serial roleplay (http://www.last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/topic,5439.0.html) would be a great place to start!

Remember, the more detail you include in your submission, the higher the chances of people attending and enjoying your pilot episode! If your submission fails to garner enough interest, you can refine it and try again in the future. Don't be discouraged! Some of the best SRPs in TLO history have come from rocky starts.

I will only consider apps sent on Jan 1 or later!
I'm calling today by 11:59 the end of the application period. Please remember to consult THIS THREAD (http://www.last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/topic,1134.0.html) for picking a timeslot. Every app I've received has had a conflict with a TLO SRP or mSRP. Part of this is my fault as that thread did not have the most up-to-date information, but that has now been fixed.
I've received apps from Radioactivitii and Andromeda. If you sent in an app and you think I didn't see it, please re-send it to me.
SRP applications are now open until March 1. If you want to have your SRP included in the next poll, regardless of whether you have submitted before you must submit again.
I will only count apps received after today. If you didn't have enough time to get your app together for the last poll, or your app was in the poll and didn't get enough votes, now's your chance to try again.
