Just in case any Voyager/Janeway treklit fans here miss her latest post
Kirsten Beyer invitation in VOY forum
- Thread starter lurok
- Start date
Heheh...
That being said, all I can hope for is a degree of sanity to previal and Janeway to remain dead. I thought "Before Dishonor" was a terrible book, but Beyer's Voyager books (I am currently reading her latest) have been nothing short of excellent. At the moment, I actually like them more than most recent DS9, and considering my loathing for VOY TV series, that is saying a lot.
Janeway is dead. I don't care if it is scifi. Leave her dead. Leave Data dead. Leave Spock Prime post-Romulus in the Abramsverse. Let death have consequences in the ST universe *other than* reanimation.

if Janeway comes back, i quit buying VGR novels. i might even stop buying any 24C books.
There were not many people in the Voyager continuation panel room last year at Shore Leave (I was there, and Christopher was, and maybe 1-2 others) so maybe this will drum up interest.
. . . more like Han Solo.
Completely agree, which is why I hope the audience appreciates that she has a young daughter who wants to see Mommy again.
To me Riker, Troi, Vale, and Tuvok are the Kirk, Spock, and McCoy of Titan, and if any of them were pulled from the series I would be furious.
Tuvok is so much more interesting on Titan than he was on Voyager. Even on the show, I felt like he never developed into the mentor figure for Janeway he was supposed to be, and never really had chemistry with anyone else either. He has a real place in the morality balancing act of Troi's heart, Vale's drive, and Tuvok's logic playing around Riker's open-mindedness and optimism. He's crucial there; he was the guy at the party that no one can remember inviting sitting awkwardly in the corner talking to no one on Voyager.
Thanks for the link, lurok. I figured most of the folks who would be interested in this spend more time in the Voyager forum than the lit forum...as most of them have boycotted my books for awhile now. No slight intended to the readers here, or evidence of any interest in my part in burying the subject where no one who cares about the issue would think to look for it.
And thanks for the prayers and the kind words.
You guys are, as usual, made of awesome.

I would love to come but I live way too far.
And besides I don't think Janeway is absolutely necessary anymore.
The main problem with Voyager before Kirsten Beyer took the series was that the story went nowhere. There was no purpose.
But now Voyager is back where it belongs, and we have a strong, interesting story.
Janeway can come back or not, for me that is not the real issue, as long as the books have the quality of the 3 last ones.
Write more Kirsten, I for one will read what will come out with great pleasure.

FYI for many fans Janeway is Voyager,
I think Kirsten Beyer was told to go to this convention, for one thing it is in Baltmore and she lives in California, but really one has only to look at the convention web site.

When you scroll down you will see all the authors will be there, Christopher Bennett, David Mack, Dayton Ward, Keith DeCandido, even Peter David. There is your agenda and it isn't one ready to listen to us. No telling who else will be on that panel with her. You can bet that this panel will not be by Kirsten Beyer alone but with several of these authors and we already know where they stand.

Then she was also 'told' last year, at the very least. That seems silly.
Kirsten has been a regular Shore Leave guest for years, going back to before she took over the VGR novels. I think she's only missed one year since then, for reasons of impending maternity.
And the idea that the Shore Leave author guest complement is in any way influenced by some "agenda" at Pocket Books is ludicrous. Pocket stopped participating in Shore Leave two years ago, due to the global economic crisis and the cutbacks they had to make in their editorial staff. That's why the once-traditional announcement of the upcoming year's book schedule at Shore Leave is no longer being done. The authors are invited by the Star Trek Association of Towson, who organize the convention. We decide for ourselves whether to attend. We suggest ideas for panels and work with the convention organizers in scheduling them.

I'd love to go, but wrong coast and too short of time are my excuses.
Even then I'm pretty sure I'd just listen, I have no issue with Janeway being dead in the novels, since you know, they are their own little world of canon.

Will admit that I'm annoyed enough over the whole Janeway argument at this point that I'd like to see her brought back...
And then killed off again in an even more obnoxious manner.
There's an out a mile long with her 'death' because of the scene with Q at the end. I'd prefer we leave that as just potential for the moment, rather than reversing course so soon after we finally got interesting and compelling stories with this crew.
Maybe in a couple years, after we wrap up this initial jaunt into the DQ?
