If it's presented as actual narrative fiction, then that wouldn't cut it. There would need to be a license granted for it.
Has no one mentioned "Unexpected Honor" by Christine Thompson?

Well, I used to pick it up at my local Blockbuster Video, but . . . . .
It is definitely presented as such. There's a large yellow circle proclaiming it as "original fiction" on the first page of the story.
Oh thank the Prophets (or Profits if you're Ferengi), was a bit worried there was more undead since the comics had a zombie crossover theme a while back.
Why would we follow thw authors on facebook when we can follow/stalk them here? Besides, I thought facebook was only a fad that isn't going to last, like that horseless carrage or personal computer thingie.
I'd much rather have Data as the captain of the Enterprise fiction, than a character I don't know and don't care about.
Then you definitely haven't read the story. Because there's a surprise twist!
It was an interresting twist, would make a good start to something longer. I do like the fact that a non-human is in the center seat, I guess you could say again since Data apparently was captain for a spell.
So far, Shon has been one of the only worthwhile characters to come out of STO, so I'd like to see more fiction featuring him and the crew of the Enterprise-F - however, while Thompson's short story was alright, and there was the occasional well-written mission in STO, the majority of the writing in that game has been bunk, and so I'd prefer it if the novelverse writers were allowed in a bit.
I haven't played or read any stories from STO other than the novel tha came out. Don't have the time to play it nor a fast enough computer.
I enjoyed the STO novel "The Needs of the Many", and I may be interested in a collected volume of short stories set in the STO universe.
Hint, hint.
BTW, what happened to the Enterprise-E? Is that detailed in the story? Bumping off an Enterprise is a pretty big deal - IIRC, the only book to have done so yet was "The Ashes of Eden" with the 1701-A.

I stopped buying the magazine a few years ago as I felt it wasn't value for money.
That's why it's called a short story.
There are lots of other interesting articles in the magazine. Since the demise of "Starlog", it's the one magazine I buy regularly.

Well, that's not really fair, since short stories can be anything up to 7500 words. The articles I've written for Star Trek Magazine have tended to be more around 800-1500 words, so if this story is anything like the same page count as those, then it would be pretty short even for a "short story." (Short stories under 2000 words are sometimes called "short-shorts," while stories with word counts in the hundreds are known as "flash fiction" these days.)
According to 8 of 5's blog there was another original short story by Christine Thompson in the newest issue of the magazine. My subscription ran out, so I won't be reading this one sadly.
