Oh yeah, forgot to mention, TTN's Orion's Hounds is also out...and you could make up some nasty reason why no info on either title or author has been released to us mere mortals yet

There's been a BBS at simonsays.com for longer than Marco has had a Q&A page there. Marco is likely to find any questions posted at the BBS, but if he's particularly busy, the Q&A page may be a better way to reach him.

Re: TrekLit FAQ
That's kinda sad. John Ordover's Q&A was my first introduction to the Internet Trek fiction community. I used to read that thing religiously. These people kept on mentioning something called "Psi Phi," and so I went there, and then the rest is history...

If they brought Mr Mollman into our lives, a slow, uncertain death was only what the Q&As deserved.

Re: TrekLit FAQ
Yeah, Marco's Q & A was the first place where I dared to post a question in english, although I was lurking on various "english speaking" boards for some time. My reasoning was that since he's an editor, at least there was a chance that he would come to my rescue and edit my question if I would butcher the english language too much.

Re: TrekLit FAQ
Sorry for asking a question that's probably been addressed numerous times in the past (possibly even previously mentioned by me), but it wasn't on the FAQ. I've just recently purchased the relaunch titles for Deep Space Nine and while I know that "A Stitch in Time" was published before the other books and was retroactively added into the relaunch, I wondered if there was a "preferred reading order" for where to slot it in with the rest. It doesn't really seem to make sense to include it as the first title since Avatar is kind of like the premiere of the relaunch (which I am currently reading).
I understand that it is referenced in one of the Worlds of DS9 stories but I'm wondering if there's any other point where it would be best to read.
Secondly, I see that "The Lives of Dax" is included on the list above as being immediately after "Rising Son", being included in its republishing date rather than it's first publishing which also would place it early on.
I wondered about what others' thoughts were about reading order (and what order to put them on the bookshelf! ).

Here's one:
Why have you never written for on screen-Trek KRAD? I know there are tonnes of people who'd watch Enterprise if you'd wrote an episode.

Re: TrekLit FAQ
Screenplays and prose require different skillsets entirely when writing. Just because someone may be good at one is not an automatic indicator that they'd be good at (or even comfortable with) the other. There are some who've done both (Dave Mack, for instance), but I've seen very good screenwriters whose prose work is unreadable, it's so bad.

Re: TrekLit FAQ
What Terri said. I've never been 100% comfortable in the script format. Plus, to be a screenwriter, one really needs to live in the Los Angeles area, and that's very low on my list of things I want to do, right under "driving hot pokers through my eyeballs."

^ Whereas, I don't have either of those goals on my personal list at all.
But that's just the way I roll.

Re: TrekLit FAQ
Word.
I attempted to write for a TV show (The Wonder Years) and sent them some scripts on spec. The problem was--while they said they liked the scripts--they already had similar stories under development. To work in Hollywood you have to be there, so you can pitch ideas to the shows and such. And while I know people who love it out there, I'm with KRAD, it's not my cup of tea.
By the way...this is my first post here, I think.

Welcome, Dave! I'm glad you've decided to join the ranks of your fellow authors in this forum. I looked forward to discussing books in the future.

Re: TrekLit FAQ
Thanks!
If you looked back to discussing books in the future, I'd think you really were The Doctor.
