Do you want ongoing novels on the Kelvin Universe

Yes. I never understood why there couldn't be any novels in this universe, but there is a whole series of comics.

Official name for the universe? Where?
I think it's being used in the game "Star Trek Online." I haven't seen it used in relation to anything else in the Trek franchise, though.

Reportedly the Okudas settled on "Kelvin Timeline" as its designation in the updated Encyclopedia that's coming (which includes the new movies' timeline, yet still inexplicably fails to include the animated series). Star Trek Online was the first to announce it, though, in connection with a new campaign that includes elements from that timeline.
Of course, I'd love some novels set in the movieverse. I was deeply gutted when the initial four Kelvin Timeline books were cancelled in summer 2010.
If we don't get any novels in the new timeline, I'd settle for an explanation as to why Bad Robot won't allow any. They owe us that much.
Honestly I have conflicting opinions on this. I initially decided to never get into the Kelvin Tineline tie-ins as it seemed like a good cut off point to limit my always massive reading pile. So I have no intention of reading these books if they ever came out. But at the same time I really wouldn't mind them being published too much, as they would take places from Prime Timeline books, and allow me to read my backlog of them faster.
Huh. I'm usually more on top of updates from Star Trek Online.
Interesting. It's good to hear something out of the Okudas.
What do you mean "if there are novels"? In case you missed them, we've had the novelizations of both the 2009 and Into Darkness films, plus the 4 book Starfleet Academy series (The Delta Anomaly, The Edge, The Gemini Agent, The Assassination Game).
And there are also the four unpublished Kevlin Timeline novels, Refugess by Alan Dean Foster, Seek A Newer World by Christopher L. Bennett, More Beautiful Than Death by David Mack, and The Hazards of Concealing by Greg Cox. They even released covers and descriptions of them before they were canceled.
If they're good, then yes.
Sure I'd read them. But the fact that the timeline now has an official name really has no bearing on that either way. (And I personally don't really like the name, anyway.)
