CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

[Jay]

Funny you should ask. We cover that on AxaMonitor, too.

Carlos you have a quote from Dave Gallanter about Axanar and he's a Trek author. Was he asked to be one of these authors?

I checked California's charitable organization database at the secretary of state's website, and there was no Axanar or Axanar Productions there.

Check the state of Nevada...

Not David Gallanter but I see David Gerrold's name was mentioned on Axanar page:

Gerrold was going to write two maybe? Sounds like authors were not lining up to participate.

Were they not written as pdfs? I have them on my tablet

But not everyone was paid, right? I don't know how many people worked on a real movie for free, but I'd bet only interns.

"Actually Tony was never signed to the project. He demanded $ 15,000 a day and they passed."

You might be getting these short stories confused with the 'Four Years War' novellas by Stephen Fender (link here)

That's a separate thing. Stephen Fender wrote, Kickstarter'd and self-published four "Four Years War" fanfics which Axanar has hyped on their site, I'm guessing as a substitute for their anthology.

EDIT: Ninja'd by RedForman

How did CBS let him get away with that?

Alec said he could

Nonprofit budgets need to show little or no profit each year, and they need to have a budget correlating their planned and most recent cashflow with their declared exempt activities upon filing. I think it might be a bit difficult to make this case for last year given they weren't really doing exempt activities as far as it seems to me.

Cash reserves are permissible, but that's assuming you've cleared basic hurdles like, as you suggest, "did you do any exempt activities last year?"

He was never that serious of a threat. I love Star Trek literature, and I had never heard of those "novels" until this mess came along.

Are they good?

 

[RedForman]

Something I stumbled upon that's even more interesting than those "novels" is Fender's project for a 4YW/Romulan War Tech Manual (blurry pics of which reveal more than a passing similarity to Neale Davidson's Jaynz works)

Haven't read them. Considering that even AP didn't associate himself with them until after the lawsuit, I doubt they are very good.

Actually, I downloaded them and the battle scenes are great - a lot of detailed ship to ship action with boarding parties and defensive actions by crews on both sides

Highly recommend them

I've said it before and I'll say it again: fan fiction does not need professional editing.

I skimmed the beginning of one of his original works on Amazon. I would agree.
