Yup, found it. This is... disquieting.

This. As much as I love sci-fi, and Star Trek in particular, plots get recycled all of the time, and often concepts are similar to one another. It's hard to separate, and so obviously some concepts are going to overlap.
The escaped slave story is nothing new, so it could be pure coincidence. Plus, again, there are TOS episodes that play on themes that Westerns were using at the same time (*cough* Gunsmoke *cough*), so I don't think there's anything concrete in the claim, though if there is, I'm sure we'll find out, and if there is to the point where it really is pulled from this author's novel, then there would need to be legal remedy.
Hopefully that's not the case, though!
This is extremely fannish, but Vic gives me warm fuzzies every time he smiles.Class acts.
He did something nice to cheer me up once and we've never actually met. A friend of mine went to Sakuracon and asked him to make a little "cheer up" message for me. The next time my friend went to the same con and Vic was there, Vic asked about me.

That sounds like Vic.
I wonder if they are hoping to get as much money as Axanar got from their fundraisers--of if they want to studiously avoid getting that much.
I don't think they would go for a million bucks. If it costs approximately $50,000 to produce an episode and they've got seven epsodes left to reach their target of thirteen in total then they'd need $350,000. They could conceivably have some stretch goals to finish their last seven batch of episodes with style (extra sets?) so then they could aim for $400-500,000.
My sense is that whatever they may do they'll probably clear it with CBS to be absolutely certain they don't run afoul in any way whatsoever.

I don't think CBS will say anything, Yay or Nay, about it. They can't give a fan film the 'ok', especially with the a lawsuit going on. I'm not saying CBS will stop it, i'm just saying you will not get CBS on record saying its OK. This is really not anything new, Cbs never gives actual permission for any fan films.
From the description of the book in question, the escape from slavery is only a minimal part of the story, with the focus being on how the slave becomes some high officer in that universe's space navy.
Since nothing of that sort ever, ever happens in Lolani, I really don't see any connection whatsoever, by any stretch of the imagination.
The author is reaching.

There will be a couple of sneak previews before for donors,
Not an official nay or yay, but there has been some communication back and forth. A recent request that CBS asked STC to do was to change the Star Trek Font on their website logos and other usage of the logo. CBS legal also unofficially greenlit the holodeck backgrounds used in the White Iris. This became a point when the episode was initially removed from Youtube. (ok, turned their heads the other way, maybe, which is not exactly an Ok.)

... including one at Fedcon! And guess who will be there?

It will be quite awesome to see it first at the big screen with a room full of people. I guess the link for donors will only come out when I am already at the con, but if not, I'm not sure I will be able to resist...
Vic mentioned on the radio Saturday night that they are building McCoy's medical lab.
Despite the troubles for Axanar and the potential ripples of anxiety for other fan productions it still looks like "ahead full" for STC.
Todd Haberkorn has announced they've just finished shooting for Episode 7.
They got almost enough for episode 7, and then Steven Dengler made a donation to make up the difference.
