I also love everyone in this bar. Most of all, I love the fact that though Alpha is an environment that should breed backstabbing and drama among characters, that the characters in game have organically come together and work together to protect and look out for each other.

I love that Lydia took something terrible that happened to her and had it make her stronger. I love that Root turned a robo-pet into a security/warning system/spy. I love that Steve - the most unlikely spy - has risen in the ranks of Alpha by just doing what he thinks is right and wrong. I love that Dick bucked the system entirely and went off the grid. I love Morgana's willingness to learn what she needs to in order to survive a technological future. I love watching canon mates come together while also seeing how unlikely pairings on missions go and the consequences they have later. I love reading how each new character approaches Alpha differently and how they do their own thing, while also being part of the whole.

Basically, I love everything and every one of you. It's so amazing to write with people who actually develop their characters and look forward to putting them in difficult, embarrassing or dangerous situations. And even more amazing to write with players who develop plots organically, are so welcoming and supportive and incredibly talented. No matter how many times I've written a certain situation - from arriving to a new world to meeting someone new - you guys always make my threads feel fresh, new and exciting and I love that. And I think I've written love one too many times, so I'm going to stop gushing. But thank you guys for making Alpha such a special game for myself and for others.
