United franchise of anything that may remotely resemble that Trek thing.
Even in the mid 60's, how many of those futuristic studio creations actually were a first on Star Trek?
Long long time ago, back when fan film creators were allowed to speak what was on their minds and share concepts without getting their eyes poked out, Patty Wright sent me a seven or eight page? incomplete script. Patty used to write back and forth with Walter Koenig and my dear friend Amy Beth...
I am my own second largest critic, the wife as always is number one. Everyone else has to take a number.
As a story writer, I was never a fan of Trek past TOS and always considered Fan films that simply retell a trek episode as lazy even though I understand the reasons for doing so.

Something I played with once. I always wanted to write a story in the Trek universe that would follow the adventures of either a Klingon or Romulan crew.
I mean, how many times can we relive the adventures of the Federation? I'm not talking about fan films, I'm talking about Paramount, a...

After a while for me personally it became like, "Oh another new Trek reliving some old trek"
That's a Paramount problem. They call it Star Trek and are afraid to work outside of the box because fans will call...
Bones: Damit Jim, you can't sue a damn computer!
Spock: Logically Doc one could sue another at any time
Scotty: Aye but winning the suit is an entirely different matter.
Kirk: Who said anything about needing to win, the action in itself becomes the means to an end.
Scotty: Aye! A wonderful game...
That's along the lines I've considered.
I started writing at 17, away from home in a small apartment living a rather bare bone existence. A note book and pencil was about the only entertainment I could afford. Forty years latter I shared some of those space adventure stories with a fan film...
