In season 12, yes - that's a slow-building crossover of all the at-the-time current TV shows, so by the end of it I'm writing for characters from TNG, Voyager and even Enterprise. And the DS9 setting itself definitely broadens from just being set on Bajor and the station, we go a lot of other...

Hi - thanks for your response! Keeping the writing tight is definitely something I've had to work at. The early scripts were over-length for a TV episode, but I think I've improved over time at getting to the point quicker. I've even gone back to some of my earlier efforts and taken out some...

Great, hope you enjoy! And let me know what you think! .

In the writing's defence, I don't think Sisko's choice to leave his family for their safety was ever presented as the right choice. He's got people constantly telling him he's made the wrong decision - Kira, Kasidy, Vaughn, Rogeiro. And the fact that he eventually reversed that choice certainly...

I absolutely agree with the depression angle - as you say, Sisko had demonstrated that tendency from his very first appearance. And it kicked in each time after a loss of people he had come to trust and depend upon - Jennifer, then Jadzia, then the Prophets. That's a psychologically plausible...

Shit yes sorry, I didn't think of that. Genuine apologies if I messed anything up for you. .

Seems like we continue to feel much the same about these books. I felt that this one finally got to the point on some long dragged out storylines... and it wasn't really worth the wait once we got there. Some occasional moments of "oh, that was nice" sprinkled among a load of meh. I liked the...

Hi - since I've mentioned it here so often, this seems like an appropriate place to announce that I've recorded a podcast about my DS9Continuing screenplays, courtesy of the Trek Book Club. Hope someone would like to give it a listen! https://twitter.com/TrekBookClub/status/1696152241558716836...

Hi folks - necrothread to announce that I've recorded a podcast about my DS9Continuing screenplays, courtesy of the Trek Book Club. Hope someone would like to give it a listen! https://twitter.com/TrekBookClub/status/1696152241558716836...

I certainly noted it in the various "cast Lit characters" threads of the past, but I could never get a good shot either, and whatever link you uploaded there didn't come through... .

Sorry :alienblush: I'm just really proud of it and I want everyone else to love it as much as I do. I'm also really bad at figuring out how to promote myself without it coming across as pushy and obnoxious. So basically I'm the standard introvert nerd writer. Scripts, yes, as if it were just...

Truly - Kirsten Beyer revitalised the Voyager line to the extent that many people reported becoming a fan of the series purely thanks to her books, not thanks to the TV show. Exploring the old characters further, and introducing new characters that slotted in well and became just as beloved as...

As with many other reviews of DRG3's DS9 books, I really can't argue with anything you've said. Something about his story choices and writing style just doesn't work for me anymore, and yet it apparently worked for whoever was in charge of editing at the time because they happily kept giving him...

Seriously! How we have the whole crew of the station and the whole crew of the Robinson, and there's not a memorable character among them. I'm not quite sure how it's even possible to do that.

I do enjoy how you always refer to Blackmer as Starfleet's worst security chief because I really can't argue - not only is he bad at his job but he's such a non-entity as a character. That's part of why, when I was adapting Plagues of Night / Raise the Dawn, I removed him altogether and replaced...

I just got around to listening to Field Trip, one of the Twelfth Doctor Chronicles boxset. These are the semi-narrated stories with Jacob Dudman doing a passable-but-obviously-not-Capaldi Capaldi impression and a guest star, in this case Ingrid Oliver as Osgood. It was okay I guess, but quite...

Fortune of War was following the same "Breen trying to acquire advanced technology" story thread that Silent Enemies was (also Zero Sum Game, Ceremony of Losses and Disavowed, all also by Mack), so it's entirely possible it's the same character. But ZSG also established that Breen tend to have...

Well, I liked it. I laughed out loud several times in public while reading it, I enjoyed the silly in-jokes about fandoms and conventions and bulletin boards exactly like this one. It was a fun, light-hearted romp with super-low stakes after so much sturm und drang lately. I do agree about...

This kind of stuff is really the editor's job to catch. The author should obviously try their best, but they have a narrower view of just their own work to concentrate on. The editor exists to be the safety net with the broader view who can spot these inconsistencies before they go to print. And...

Sounds I like I made the right decision to not read this book.
