Guinan in ENT novels?

Until then, there's no real point in worrying about it.

You really don't hang out here very much do you.

Also, it's amazing how many REAL historical textbooks disagree with each other.
Facts cannot be sustained over long periods of time.

From Memory Alpha:
Guinan was slated to appear in an episode planned for the unproduced fifth season of Star Trek: Enterprise entitled "The Treatment". Under the assumed name "Claranna", she would have been acting personal assistant of the head of the United Earth Space Probe Agency. More of her background would have been revealed, including what she was doing there since the time of Mark Twain.

Any chance this could be worked into any future ENT novels? I think it'd be great!

Except it would contradict my Guinan backstory from The Buried Age, which asserted that she hadn't been to Earth between the 1890s and the 2290s.

Awww damn it!
This is why I sometimes I have problems with Book continuity.

Interesting, though I'd be curious to know what MA's source is for this info.

And needless to say, Guinan wouldn't need to be on Earth to play part in an ENT story...

I thinik Mike Sussman posted it (dear god,I hope i spelt his name right).

The "Guinan on Enterprise" speculation didn't come from me.

I'm a big fan of Memory Alpha, but a lot of their "would-be season 5" is bunk and appears to have come from people who were not writers and producers working on the show.

buy all the books, read all the books, and just accept that they can't all be right.

My personal take, when contradictions can't be easily reconciled: the ST novels, short stories, comics and RPG manuals are works of faction, (fiction based on fact) and derived from actual ships' logs, but sometimes the authors take artistic license to "improve" the story or fill in unknown gaps - exactly how many 20th and 21st century authors do historical fiction.

Nah, it's more like:
