If books aren't canon, why all the restrictions? (writers' opinions?)

Frankly I'm waiting for the next KRAD ANDROMEDA novel. Best version of the series BY FAR.

More Andromeda novels (or a comic book series) would be sweet.

Either of those by KRADs hand would be even better.

That being said, I doubt that there is enough demand to support either thing ever happening.

Of course not. But one an dream.

Hey, I'm doing my best on that one, but you try talking to the human equivalent of brick walls sometime.

I will...
There are worse things that brick walls, and brick walls can theoretically dismantled or destroyed... its just a lot of work and drudgery and stress and frustration...

And in one sentence, you sum up the first few years of my writing career so adeptly. Nicely done.

The biggest brick wall is sales. It's really difficult, if not damn near impossible, to launch a book line for a canceled series, but I threw my name in and started doing the Donkey from SHREK "Pick me! Pick me!" impression back when the show was canceled the first time and they were trying to figure out possible ways to conclude the story (before the nuts campaign really got going). I'm still jumping as high as I can on that one, even with the campaign on Universal HD going as I type.

Its working!! Don't stop! SG:A will be one of many, I'm sure.

I was hoping it wasn't so bad... but I can imagine it would be. Most of what I'm used to dealing with is the shows themselves, which is an odd play between easy (sometimes shows, even ones you wouldn't expect, get picked up fast... or good ones don't but silly ideas do instead and you're wishing that your idea or work did instead) and hard (cancellations and what comes after, the work once it comes through). But trying to continue a story from a canceled series must be nerve wracking! O.O
