Need for the word to be spread

To the Star Trek Universe,

For over a decade, we researched everything about Star Trek, and two years ago we created a new series Bible, and a great deal more, but neither the Star Trek producers nor us realized that all they’ve recently done, Discovery, Picard, and Section 31 points directly to our series. We have filled the gaps in the timeline, we’ve answered decades-old questions, and a lot more. So, for the past two years, we have tried every avenue possible, but Paramount/CBS has closed itself off. Everyone we’ve tried to contact refuses to answer. It is ironic that the series we all love that used to go boldly into the final frontier has stopped dead in space and has cut off the very source of their success - us, the fans. All we’ve ever asked is for a fair hearing. We appeal to our fellow fans to help us; all we want is to help Star Trek continue, why is that too much to ask? The name of our series says what Star Trek used to stand for with its fans under Gene Rodenberry - “UNITY”. We care nothing for fame or fortune, we care about the future and we are certain our series is a part of it.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I'm in the same boat! I had an idea that they make a new show with an Enterprise in it and now they have three! And a possible movie! Jerks.

 

[Mark R. Gaebler]

We have much more, we have the 3-season bible, complete, the premiere episode, cast recommendations, cannon timeline, ship designs, costumes, and more. As we said, all we need is support and a fair chance to be heard.

Just FYI, this area of the board is for questions, suggestions, and feedback on the running of the board itself. Nobody from Paramount is reading this.

Ok so you’re mad that the people who own the IP won’t take an unsolicited fan submission? That’s just not how any of this works.

 

[Mark R. Gaebler]

We are not giving up, the more fans who know about what we have the better. We have the next series, they just have to see us and listen. over a decade of work will show.

 

[Mudd]

Have you, uh, ever worked in TV or movies?

Yes, it matters a great deal.

I think someone is trolling us.

 

[fireproof78]

all we want is to help Star Trek continue,

It is, right now.

I think someone is trolling us.

I sincerely hope so.

 

[Mudd]

Nah. Dude's for real.

I have a Bible too! And it has more than 3 seasons, it has every season, from start to finish, and they stole elements from it too! Direct quotes! Even episode titles!

My Bible? THE BIBLE All others are imitators. I'm gonna sue on behalf of God. And not the weird dude who hugged Spock's bro.

I sincerely hope so.

He's not. I googled him.

As a Star Trek fan since 1969 (started watching at age 6 with S3 of TOS on NBC), I can state that this part of your statement:

...The name of our series says what Star Trek used to stand for with its fans under Gene Rodenberry - “UNITY”. We care nothing for fame or fortune, we care about the future and we are certain our series is a part of it.

Is absolutely inaccurate WRT Star Trek fandom in general. Perhaps if you'd been watching and studying or been a part of said fandom for 55 years, you wouldn't make such a ridiculous statement.

(And yes, I know, I shouldn't feed an obvious and clueless troll post, but I'm in a weird mood this afternoon, and anyone who has really been a part of Star Trek fandom for a LONG time knows a hell of a lot more about the ACTUAL Gene Roddenberry and how fandom often related to him.)

 

[Timofnine]

Why create a Star Trek ‘bible’ when Star Trek is already actually all of Earths ancient texts consolidated in to one family friendly and accessible sci fi adventure with laser beams and spaceships?

If you want to start a fan campaign, could I offer for your consideration a cause such as a Netflix series 3 of Prodigy?

@Mark R. Gaebler , you really need to watch that Trek toon!

 

[cooleddie74]

Would I love the studio to take MY script and turn it into an episode or movie? Sure. Hell, yeah. Will they or would they even consider using my work as a canon production? Hell, no.

And I'm fine with that. We each have our little corners of Trekdom to toil in. The IP owner gives us official content and we make fan stories and productions. And that's how the world should usually work.

I'm fine with the way things are being run right now, or at least mostly so. I'm not going to lose sleep over this whole thing.

Power in numbers isn't going to change their mind and even if it did that wouldn't make for a positive working relationship because no-one likes being strong-armed in to something. If you can't get a foot in the door you need to go back to the drawing board and assess your approach. Maybe it's just bad timing or as already mentioned maybe you're not following the proper channels which by itself can put people off. Sometimes a stubborn perseverance can pay off but sometimes it can do more harm than good and destroy any chances regardless of how good the product is.

That's a bold statement.

Just file the serial numbers off and make it your own thing. If it's really good it will find an audience.

 

[cooleddie74]

Good fan productions find audiences. They find followings. They find awards. They earn acclamation. If it's meant to happen it will.
