Slings & Arrows...will it be printed?
- Thread starter Paris

^So far, the e-books have been getting TPB collections pretty much in publication order. I think there are still a few Corps of Engineers volumes to get through before Slings & Arrows gets its turn.
What's funny is that I meant to ask Keith that very question when I was thinking about it over the weekend. Good timing.
Mere Anarchy was already reprinted, and I was under the impression that it was released as an ebook series after the SCE books, but before Slings & Arrows. I may be wrong though...or this could just be a case of "...pretty much in publication order..."
No, the first three volumes of Mere Anarchy were released in a hiatus between the last SCE eBook and the first CoE eBook. The rest of Mere Anarchy was released in a hiatus between the third and fourth CoE installments. Slings and Arrows came out after the final CoE installment.
So yeah, it's not quite chronological order; the Mere Anarchy TPB was released about two volumes ahead relative to CoE collections. I guess what I should've said instead is that those two CoE volumes (completing the compilation of those eBooks that were originally published under the SCE heading) are already planned as the next two releases (though only the first has been scheduled yet). So while it's expected that Slings and Arrows will be published in TPB eventually, it'll be a while before it shows up. KRAD would know more.

That's why I was waiting to buy it as a TPB myself but since it wasn't mentioned, i thought I would buy the ebook verison's til the TPB is printed or said to be released.
. Hopefully KRAD can give us some insight.
At this point, with Out of the Cocoon not scheduled until the end of 2010, I'd be surprised if they didn't hold off on a Slings and Arrows compilation until 2012, and promote it as part of TNG's 25th anniversary.
The intent was to publish in approximate publication order, as Christopher indicated, but Mere Anarchy was bumped up to take advantage of the synergy with JJTrek.
Out of the Cocoon was bumped to late 2010 after Marco's layoff to alleviate Margaret's suddenly-much-busier schedule, so that changed the original plans. So the soonest we'd see Slings and Arrows is 2011.

. Holding publication until the 25th anniversary would be a pretty good idea. Hopefully we see it by 2012 if not 2011.
I still can't wrap my head around the idea that we're talking about dates like 2010 as the short-term future in real life rather than something from a science fiction story.
Stranger still that we can talk about the years 2000 and 2001 as "way back when..."
They left, right after doing a very impressive triple backwards somersault while whistling "The Star-Spangled Banner"......I was led to believe that by 2010, Dolphins would be house pets. Where the fuck are my Dolphins Roy?
I know, 2001 was one thing, that was when we entered The Future. But 2010 was The Future to the people who lived in The Future! The Future of The Future!

I think you'll find, it was while singing so long and thanks for all the fish
The dolphins in 2010 weren't pets, they were fellow intelligent beings who came to visit the house in a pool made especially to facilitate communication between species. Dolphins are people.
i want my goddamn jetpack!

It is amazing how we are talking about years like this and everything imagined in the '60s near actually came true. Meaning the futuristic looking cities and hovercars and so on.
The DS9/TNG crossovers is what appeals to me about Slings and Arrows, especially the Sisko/Picard story.
