Seriously. How much does it cost? I have an idea, something I would like to read. I could sum it up in like 3 or 4 sentences. Like $10,000. Would someone write me a 400 page novel for 10k? Thanks.
Can I hire a writer?

Someone might. I sure as hell wouldn't.
There's always craigslist. 
In other words, Keith just applied for the job. Let's see, 400 pages... he'll have that for you by Tuesday.
Too late. He's only the Second Coming of Peter David - and PAD will be finished by the conclusion of the weekend. But he's insisting on killing off Janeway again, 'cos it was so much fun killing her last time.
Based on this conversation, I've decided to post a "Trek Writer for Hire" ad on craigslist:

I am the very model of a Star Trek novel writer dude
You never know what twists and turns my newest story might include
I spend my days and evenings working in a state of solitude
Wondering if the plots I hatch will just completely come unglued
(He wonders if the plots he hatches will completely come unglued!)
You give me all your money and a story I will weave for you
It will conform to canon and just maybe fill a gap or two
With all your favorite characters and nasty foes for you to boo
If the check you write is bogus then you know I'm coming after you
(You write a bogus check and he will beat the crap right out of you!)
(See what a lack of sleep does?)

Was there ever a Captain Proton musical episode??
OYG! That would be great...would it be a rock opera?
Too bad we couldn't get Queen to write the music. That would be Made of Awesome.
("Cap! A-ah!")
("Cap! A-ah!")
I always thought of Queen being good up to maybe 1979 or so. Flash Gordon being released in 1980 is part of the reason why 1979 is the cut-off year.
Yeah, but you figure they wrote the music in 78 or 79 
Queen only stopped being good when Freddie died.
PROTON'S ALIVE?!?!?!
Doctor Chaotica, Captain Proton approaching...
What do you mean, Captain Proton approaching? OPEN FIRE! ALL WEAPONS! Dispatch war-rocket Ajax to bring back his body!
Only Captain Proton, formerly of NASA, has provided any explanation...

^ We reach. Yay, brother.
Putting aside for a moment the fact that all of Ming's weaponry buttons were in English, why was there one marked "Earthquake?" Shouldn't that have been "Mongoquake"?
Yes. I guess I did. I must be in the wrong business. These writers must be racking in the dough.
