That would actually be really cool.
I've always wanted to see what Battlecruiser Vengeance would actually look like...

Just wondering, does anyone have any ideas floating in their head for Kelvinverse stories that can still be told (and can't easily be adapted for the prime timeline)? You don't have to tell me what ideas - a simple yes or not would suffice.
Everywhere NuKirk and co have been in the films, there's always a Starfleet connection - never truly out of their element with no way to get back in time whatsoever (Yorktown was near)

Sure, loads of ideas tying into the backstories of this version of the crew.
For starters, I want to meet McCoy's ex!

A reunion, you mean? There's this flashback: http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/IDW_Star_Trek,_Issue_17
Yep. Trek novels have spent decades making stories out of offhand references, whether prequels or follow-ups, and the Kelvin universe has loads to be inspired by.
Just be careful not to stray into story-idea territory in your speculations. "McCoy's ex" is general enough - but opening the thread to story-planning could lead to more detailed suggestions, which would require a spoiler.
No worries. McCoy's ex was supposedly part of the unmade Bob Orci/Patrick McKay/JD Payne Star Trek 3 script, and one element I was looking forward to.
Super awesome news. And I predicted this exact situation earlier today in the 2018 thread. A big day for the Treklit community!
FINALLY.
Depends on if future authors do, I suppose. I sure hope they do.
About bloody time.
Dare we hope that this may also allow the cancelled Kelvinverse novels to see the light of day?
I doubt it. I know Christopher at least has said that he reworked a main idea from his into Face of the Unknown. And I'm sure I've heard at least one other was superceded by a later film.
Hey, that's really neat! I would get books that explore some of the events that are thrown out by the Kelvin movies. For me, it would be tricky with books taking place in the "modern" time, because I'm just too slow of a reader. I don't think I'll ever catch up. Maybe if there are a couple that are standalone and explore the aftermath of the Hobus star, and what happens to the Romulan empire.
I had the same thought about those cancelled novels. Even though at least two were reborn in another form, I would buy the originals if they decided to release them. Or any novels they release, with the knowledge of what the current three films reveal, set in between the movies (so a new set of those cancelled novels, reconceptualized to work within the three-film framework now established). For either or both options, I'll get 'em.
IIRC, some of the authors have said after STID's release that the movie sort of rendered their take on the universe obsolete. Plus, as mentioned some of the authors have reworked the stories into other novels, another example, Greg Cox more or less swapped out Spock Prime with Seven of Nine for No Time Like the Past.
And besides, at this point, reading them would be like reading a TNG novel from 1988, their take on the property is very different from what it has since developed into. While it may still be a worthwhile read, had that 1988 novel for some reason never been published, imagine how out of place it would feel had it ended up being published in 1995.
Greg Cox's Seven of Nine and TOS crossover novel sounds so much like The Hazards of Concealing storyline.
Ah. Wormhole beat me to it.
Those were both mine.
I'm actually happier that mine didn't get released, and that I was able to incorporate the best parts into TFotU while leaving out the parts that, in retrospect, didn't quite work. It's tricky to work in a whole new framework with only one movie's worth of content to build on, and so I think Seek a Newer World came out shallower than my usual stuff. If it had come out, I think it'd be considered my weakest novel.
