How many words is a typical trek novel?

[Stevil2001]

Seeing the em-dashes or the titles without colons (like Star Trek Titan) just makes my bibliographic teeth hurt.

Sorry. Damned if I do, damned if I don't don't, I guess.

I didn't even know there wasn't a colon in "Star Trek Titan". It's not readily apparent from a logo! (I can also never remember which of the tNG movies are 'colonized' and which ones aren't. So I just stick colons in all of them, because I think it looks strange otherwise.)

As do I.

And, apparently, so does Memory Beta.

 

[Ferd Burfel]

My paper wasn't as long as yours probably was, but I had 186 in mine.

Damned if I do, damned if I don't don't, I guess.

Dude, I've been telling you that for years.....

 

[FalTorPan]

I want to know how many colons (the character, not the organ) are in a typical tie-in book title.

By title, do you mean the title, such as "Star Trek: Worlds of Deep Space Nine: Andor: Paradigm" (3) or the entire manuscript? (n)?

Title, as in name.

 

[JD]

As do I.

And, apparently, so does Memory Beta.

Umm, that's wikipedia, not Memory Beta.

 

[Turbo]

Gah. That's what I get for posting drunk. Memory Beta does it too.

 

[William Leisner]

Friends don't let friends hyperlink drunk.

 

[Mistral]

As do I.

Gah. That's what I get for posting drunk. Memory Beta does it too.

I'm just glad he was able to correct this.

This comes of being the child of librarians, I suppose

Aha! I was going to ask you about the coincidence of GraceAnne turning up as a Friend on one of my teacher-librarian colleagues' Facebook page!

 

[Sisko_is_my_captain]

how many items in your bibliography?)

Currently, I think it's somewhere around 150, but I've got a folder-full left to add in.

Yeah, GraceAnne Andreassi DeCandido is my mother.

He has a mother. Hah! I think Mr. Ward owes a few people money...

 

[Dayton Ward]

Um, what?

 

[Mistral]

Jus' kiddin around.

 

[TerriO]

Um, what?

You remember, don't you, Dayton? That argument you were making back at Shore Leave about Keith springing from the skull of Peter David like Athena from Zeus? And that this was how he'd gotten all of his godlike writing powers?

We all thought you'd had about five too many at that point. But you were betting everyone.....

 

[Dayton Ward]

I'm pretty sure that if I mentioned Keith springing from anywhere, it wasn't a person's skull.

 

[TerriO]

Dude, seriously, you had gone into this whole Greek pantheon theme, and we were all wondering just where the hell it had come from.

Skull, ass, either one works. IIRC, you were on a whole metaphor kick. It was really amusing to watch.
