Interesting point Allyn

Just an Idea. I have heard some books, such as the Voyager Technical Manual, were not printed because the Deep Space Nine Technical Manual wasn't profitable. Some of these books can be pricey, so I imagine a lot of you may have been like me and waited for a discounted or used copy. I didn't...

I am trying to figure out the date of the second battle of Chin"toka. The episode it takes place in "The Changing Face of Evil" doesn't have a stardate on memory alpha presumably because there wasn't one mentioned in the episode. The next episode "When It Rains" takes place right afterward and...

Re: OT, but: NEW TREK TV SERIES ANNOUNCED Thank you for the clarification. I'm still not going to worry though because it is so early there is so much we don't know. I bet we will still get TOS,TNG,DS9, VOY,ENT books just like we do now.

Re: OT, but: NEW TREK TV SERIES ANNOUNCED I'm not worried about the books. Star Trek books are not canon, but I enjoy them anyway. I'm fine reading a book that has since been contradicted by a show. A new series set in the prime universe would not stop me from reading books contradicted by it...

I got excited and started this thread. I have never used the QSF forum. Mods can delete this thread. Thank you.

I am just excited to have a "New Series" forum below Enterprise. Can we have one please?

I wasn't suggesting they are published. With a small market I doubt pocket books would want to publish them. I'm saying PDF, EPUB, Kindle documents that we buy from the authors and they keep all the money.

This is probably the biggest problem, but there are quite a few fan-fiction writers out there. It might be worth and authors time, especially as they will not have to share profits.

Just and idea: I know some ST authors have trouble paying the bills just on writing alone. I started this thread to ask for advice of the pro's. I do not think they owe me any of their time and I wouldn't mind paying for it. I am looking for more tips on writing Star Trek. Not writing fiction in...

Did anyone else read this?

I started this thread just to let fellow Star Trek novel readers know that one of the authors of these books we enjoy was having a hard time in case anyone wanted to help. I'm sad about the direction the thread has taken and I wish the moderators would just delete it.

That's good to hear.

Maybe we could just name the author as "by the fans." I was also thinking we could use Google docs, dropbox, or something similar to share the document between the contributors. It would be a free e-book, with no cost to the readers, or the contributors other than their time. I want it to...

This board is full of generous authors who spend a lot of time replying to the questions and comments of fans like me. To them is say thank you! Some people have argued that my post was inappropriate, but if we can't lend a hand to one of these authors what a shame that would be. I wish we...

Star Trek author Keith DeCandido posted on facebook that he needs some financial help to avoid getting evicted from his home. He has started a GoFundMe if you care to help him out. http://www.gofundme.com/w8zupx8z?fb_action_ids=10152956635987705&fb_action_types=og.shares&fb_ref=fb_cr_n...

I was thinking like an electronic "coffee table" kind of book. Lots of pictures and sketches, and text as long as the writer can keep it interesting. I would have sections both in-universe and real-world. Actors, characters, species, ships, etc., but I wouldn't try to make it encyclopedic. My...

I didn't know about that. I just looked it up. I certainly don't want to do anything that would cause legal trouble, but when they seem to let fans do what they want, especially if they do not profit from it, it makes it seem like they are OK with letting the fans have fun.

I wasn't sure where it would go, as it is not a work of fiction, and it does not offer up any ideas that fans could sue an author claiming it is theirs. I am happy to talk about it wherever the mods feel is appropriate.

I know we are not supposed to post story ideas, but isn't that so that authors on here cannot get sued by a poster who says they came up with the idea? I was just thinking it would be fun to make a by-the-fans, for-the-fans Star Trek 50th Anniversary e-book. It would be not for profit to avoid...
