Be careful what you wish for. Abandoning existing Star Trek canon and continuity, changing the characters too much and killing off a few of them might lead to a decreasing interest from many fans who have learned to love the characters they've seen on screen.
Well, no one's abandoned "existing Star Trek canon," as "canon" is usually defined as anything that occurred onscreen in the films and television series, and all books, comics and other tie-in fiction follow on from what is established in those episodes or films. Similarly, none of the books I have encountered "abandon...continuity," but rather follow on from the continuity established in the aforementioned television and/or film series (which oftentimes contradicted their own continuity, but that's a whooooole 'nother argument
).
As to the rest of what for the lack of a better term I shall call your argument, changes to characters or deaths of characters "might" lead to a decreasing interest from fans? Really? Aside from the easy response to this argument (basically just saying, "And it might
not"), you're still repeating your tired old notion that people are going to make some mass exodus from the books, which is
statistically not true, unless you have some data that shows that book sales have decreased dramatically in the more than a year since
Before Dishonor was published.
I really am a
little surprised that this argument is still going on, especially as it's evident that
Lynx is not only not going to change her(?) mind, but also refuses to even understand the opposing points of view to her own. Indeed, I keep telling myself that I'm done with this thread, but I suppose the truth is that it's so damned entertaining watching her arguments get more and more nonsensical, as those in opposition try more and more ways to persuade her to make some sort of sense.
And it's
definitely making me all the more anxious for
Full Circle!
