^That would make a great Myriad Universes novalla.

Well, he did something to get Kirk's attention, so there must be at least one novel's worth of material in him.
Sure, just not as a captain.
V'ger needs to communicate with 'The Creator' again for some reason, so 'extrudes' Decker and Ilya as machines, or, as it's now evolved from both techno and organic origins, could possibly reproduce them biologically, complete with memories.
Edging towards story ideas so stopping now...
I'd say you crossed over the edge there.
Apologies. I renounce all claims to said ideas...
^Renouncing doesn't matter. Once we hear 'em, we can't use 'em. (Fortunately, I had no interest in doing such a story anyway. V'Ger's whole arc was about evolving beyond our universe, maturing to the next level. You don't turn a butterfly back into a caterpillar.)
Good point.
Thinking about it a little more I don't believe there's any intellectual property there I could claim even if I wanted to - TMP established that V'ger wanted to contact it's creator and utilised reproductions of biological entities to interact. My post was just a rehash of pre-existing material.
Apology still stands.
Doesn't matter. The issue isn't the merits of a hypothetical poster's story idea, the issue is avoiding nuisance lawsuits that would be too expensive for authors and/or for S&S. Any such lawsuit would by definition be without merit and would be lost by the hypothetical plaintiff, but it would still incur legal expenses on the part(s) of the hypothetical defendant(s) that need to be avoided.
It's kind of a shame that more Myriad Universes works haven't come out, either the novella anthologies or the comics, because I really dug the premise of the series, even if I thought the third anthology wasn't all that great due to various factors. I just hope it doesn't wind up dead or something.
I am quite behind in my Star Trek book reading. Of the 20 books I read last year I only read 5 Star Trek books last year and only two of those where released in 2011.
Doing a more free form response than answering the questions. Partly because I only read 2 of the 2011 books in 2011.
The two from 2011 were Rise Like Lions and Watching The Clock. For me both of those were great books and fun to read. As a long time lover of time travel and things of that nature, I loved to see a whole book set around The Department of Temporal Investigations. Watching The Clock certainly did not disappoint in the time travel regards. I just started Forgotten History within the last two days so two early to tell on that one but already hooked into it with early story.
In 2011 I also read Glass Empires and The Sorrows of Empire both to help me get ready for Rise Like Lions. At some point will go back and read the rest of the mirror universe books.
I also read Zero Sum Game last year and I very much enjoyed that book. For me it was a great look into the Breen culture. From the book I now have much better understanding on how the Breen society works really. Also the book had a lot of suspense especially towards the end of the story for me which really made me not to want to put it down.
So far in 2012 I have read DS9 Unity, (I know old but I am way behind on the DS9 relaunch novels) I Plan to read the Bajor and the Andor World's of DS9 parts before I read the corresponding Typhoon pact book. I know I don't necessarily have to since the Typhoon pact books would fill in what I needed to know but I want to.
Also this year so far I have read the Typhon pact book Seize the Fire, which I just finished several days ago. In terms of this year I likely will read more than 5 Trek books this year. Hopefully get further into the typhoon pact series although since new ones coming out not sure if I will be able to fully catch up since I will mix in other non trek books as well.

It's Typhon Pact, not Typhoon. And if you read the WoDS9 books, then you might want to do Warpath, Fearful Symmetry, and The Soul Key too, since they deal with stuff set up during the WoDS9 books, and the events in those books are referenced in the Typhon Pact: Rough Beasts of Empire.
^ I think I likely won't read those before guess willing to skip them since partly want to try to catch up to Typhon pact. Also reading those two WoDS9 books since at least at glance I think more directly relate to the stories that are going to focused on in the Typhon books being Sisko and Andorian's. When caught up on Typhon can go back and catch up on rest of DS9 relaunch that I skipped over.
