About the Ship
Our namesake is Admiral Taylorholic Durant
The late Admiral Durant was a much-loved officer in UF Starfleet. She excelled in several prominent positions and was known as a caring and thoughtful person. ‘Tay-Tay’ is missed by all who knew her. We are proud and humbled to carry her name.
The USS Taylorholic Durant is a roleplaying ship based in the virtual world of Second Life. We enact characters using avatars who move through a 3D environment. We can build roleplay sets, use items created by others to establish a scene, or even visit different places on the grid and use those places as a context for our away missions.
We are storytellers. Using live, in-the-moment chat, we listen, read, respond, and create a new story as a collective of writers jamming on a theme. We are given a context – a place to begin and then improvise together what happens next, and what happens after that… and where does that take us. That sense of being in fellowship with other creative people who understand the overall context and environment while writing a story that is vibrant and alive creates a sense of enjoyment and togetherness.
Our goal on Durant is to foster that sense of belonging, to support good storytelling, and to have tons of fun!
