Hey, I'm kind of interested in this, and I have an idea for ships/characters, though I do have a reservation that it might be a bit too... 'wacky', for me, and end up being more comedic than I'm comfortable with. So, would it be possible to get some kind of clarification on what the 'tone' will be before I decide to join in or not? 
Also, I'm pretty confident in my own writing abilities, but I've never gone for an advanced RP before, and similarly I'm a little nervous about the player-driven aspect, but I'm sure I can cope.
