@Defcon: The reason we're talking about this in the Lit forum is because novels are the only place where we'll ever see any of these ideas play out.
Official Author's can't read or use it, so where is the purpose? Put it in fan fiction, where the authors can run with the ideas.
My thought was that it would expand out beyond TV characters into the lit-world. This forum isn't so busy that a thread like this is going to disturb anything. Ignore it, if it isn't your cup of tea.
We have to agree to disagree here, TrekLit shouldn't become the save haven for people whose nonsense threads are not seen favorably elsewhere only because you feel TrekLit isn't busy enough and they add a nonsensical "perhaps for lit purposes" at the end of their post. But since that is your verdict I will heed your advice and just ignore this thread.
