101 Things We've Learned From TrekLit

[Hartzilla2007]

154 Braeg, Donatra's dead ex was died from being both executed and blown up in a bombing.

^Donatra's ex was called Braeg. her name's not Braeg Donatra.

I really remember a TNG Tholian/Defiant novel. A delegation of Tholians boarded the E-D. They were conducting territorial negotiations, which included getting the Defiant back. There was a lot of Troi/Tholian stuff and I think one of the Tholians (that were always on the other side of thick glass because of their atmospheric requirements) died or was killed.

I guess it's possible I'm confusing several old novels, but I really don't think so. I'll have a look through VoI when I get the chance.

It sounds almost like you've combined the Lost Era novel 'The Sundered' with the Next Generation novel 'Sins of Commission.'

I had a look through VoI and I'm utterly bewildered. There's no sign of it. I remember this phantom novel as one of the early Trek books I read, but...wow.

Sorry, everyone.

155. Read too much Treklit and the stories will eventually merge in your head into entirely new ones which will cause confusion later on.

... died from being both executed and blown up in a bombing.

That's gotta leave a mark.

Could it have been a work of fanfiction?

Nope. I've only started reading fanfic recently, and even then only TOS stuff from the 70's.

I'll have a look through Sins of Commission and The Sundered to see if anything familiar from my "phantom book" jumps out at me.

^Donatra's ex was called Braeg. her name's not Braeg Donatra.

Sorry forgot to add the comma. It's fixed now

^There were at least two other post-"Tholian Web" Defiant stories. A TNG novel whose name escapes me (negotiating with Tholians on the Enterprise-D, they weren't crystalline), and a movie-era comic called "Raise the Defiant!"

That ship gets rescued a lot.

Well, obviously the interphase effect softens the barrier between universes and all these alternate versions of the Defiant keep falling into the same reality.

Somewhere there's a spacedock with a dozen of them...
"Admiral! We just rescued the USS Defiant from the interphase!"
"What, again? Oh. Just park it over there next to the others."

Or interphase has a some kind of duplication effect, allowing the same ship to be rescued in different realities at different times.

Does that mean that there's extra Kirk's out there too then?

Does that mean that there's extra Kirk's out there too then?

According to "The Fate of the Phoenix", there's a spare Kirk in Romulan guise and, according to "The Infinite Vulcan" (TAS), there's also a giant Spock clone still at large.

 

[Almost Unique]

A giant clone at large? That's gotta be on purpose

 

[Therin of Andor]

A giant clone at large? That's gotta be on purpose

A small joke. And quite accidental, although I could pretend otherwise. (I'm just cloning around.)

153) Mirror Kirk created the Klingon/Cardassian Alliance to get back at the Terrans for kicking him out.

154) Mirror Kirk was a deranged, psychotic hellspawn demigod of destruction...until he decided not to be.

155) Evil Empress Sato finds Andorians with missing antenna attractive.

Ewww...actually, that's pretty cool. But you just added a whole new layer of creepiness to the Empress.

Had Aenargh, eh?

139) Except that even with authors working together, there are still two different climates for Boreth, Ogawa's child is both a son and a daughter, Rager is serving on two different ships, Miles and Keiko had two mutually exclusive conversations about Keiko going to work in Cardassian eco-recovery, Kadohata both hated and was attracted to Leybenzon, etc.

Clearly, it is Mirror-Rager...and if I know you, you'll find a clever way to tie it into the whole continuity.

I know, I know. You can't talk about it.

 

[Therin of Andor]

Clearly, it is Mirror-Rager...

I'm sure many fans have had fantasies about the possibility of identical twin Ragers.
