Wordsmith Medal for Personification Awarded 10 Mar 2021 @ 12:03am Nominated by Commander Calliope Zahn |
Quinn stands out due to a consistent commitment on the part of the writer to stay true to the core elements of the character. Quinn can be aloof and impersonal, even harsh— but the character is very far from one dimensional. It's rewarding to write alongside this character and interact with such a well crafted and distinct portrayal. |

Nomination Commendation Awarded 27 Mar 2022 @ 12:06pm Nominated by Commander Calliope Zahn |
Created with love and respect for the neurologically atypical, Quinn proves to be a very nuanced main character. With skillful writing, Paul demonstrates both Lance’s areas of giftedness and those capacities he almost completely lacks. Quinn is a highly acclaimed Quantum Propulsion Engineer who has spent his career mostly on his own terms, until his world is upended when he agrees to make a home with his long distance wife and downgrade his career to the practical (and engineless) realm of station maintenance. He struggles with his purpose and the sacrifice of a field he loves, while being thrown into unfamiliar relationships and challenged to adjust to a less-than-ideal situation with his wife’s flailing health and career. Although Quinn wrestles with how to express himself and can come across calculating and judgemental, his internal well actually runs quite deep, for anyone willing to read past the outside. (Nomination for LtCmdr Lancelot Quinn to Character of the Year 2021) |

The Vulcan Medal of Comedy Awarded 27 Mar 2022 @ 12:33pm Nominated by Commander Calliope Zahn |
Paul uses the socially challenged situations that Lance Quinn inevitably finds himself in to turn otherwise painfully awkward moments into humorous twists, leaning into the miscommunications and misunderstandings that result from the disdain and disconnects. Some of the chief examples can be found in the M2 posts “Expert Help” and “Say Goodnight” |
