She will be deeply missed by all....it is a sad day indeed
The Passing of Majel Roddenberry
- Thread starter BryanSorensen
- Start date
and one in TOS, Misc, not to speak of the Trek Today News forum ...
I don't know, this could be a good place to discuss everyone's favorite appearances of her different characters within the books.
Forrest J. Ackerman, Bettie Page and now this.. sorry to hear about it, but she seems to have led a very exciting and productive life. What more can anybody ask for?

Which would basically mean Number One, Christine Chapel, M'Ress, Lwaxana, and Starfleet Computer Voice. Plus a bunch of TAS guest characters, but I don't know if any of them have turned up in the lit. If they have, it's probably in something by Ward & Dilmore. (She also played Amanda Grayson in "Yesteryear," but I don't think that should count.)
Very sad news. 
My favorite Majel-character lit moments would have to include Lwaxana kicking Q's ass in Q-in-Law and Number One giving the Enterprise computer her own voice in The Rift, both by PAD. Also, Chapel walking in on a conversation between Dr. "Bones" McCoy and Dr. "Beast" McCoy in the first Star Trek/X-Men comic, the entirety of KRAD's The Ceremony of Innocence is Drowned, and any and all of the hints that Morgan Primus bore resemblance to other certain Trek characters in New Frontier.

RIP, Majel. Although not as influential as Spock or Kirk, she left an indelible impression with her roles, esp. as the Enterprise computer voice. And as the Great Bird's widow, zealously guarded her late husband's legacy. So her final performance is as the ship's computer voice, once again, in Abrams movie. A fitting epitaph. -- RR
Crap. I met her once along with Gene. They were both nice.
And, no, it wasn't a big significant moment.
At least I doubt it was for them.
I hope she went easy.

I have come up with a link to lit for her..
NF: Didnt Picard note something 'familiar' about Morgan. And when she was merged with The Excals computer, Calloun mentioned she always sounded like the computer....
EDIT: Sorry Turtletrekker, didnt see you posted the same above..

She is now one with the stars. RIP!!!!
The newest issue (#15) is getting ready to hit stands, if it hasn't started already (I got my subscriber's copy last weekend), but I imagine Editor-san is already making notes for #16.
16 is already on its way through approval, but the plan is to incorporate something this issue in the news, and something more substantial next.

But for those of us (me) who just frequent this forum, the posting of the news was appreciated. I don't have time to look at all the threads in every forum, and I forget to look at the sidebar to the right...
I was pretty shocked when I heard about this.
As for great Lit moments for her characters, my only real expeirence with them is M'Ress and Primus (ok technically isn't Majel, but it's pretty clear that's who she's supposed to be) in New Frontier, and the Ceremony of Innocence is Drowned. I enjoyed pretty much all of those stories.

i was pretty shocked when i heard too...i saw it on yahoos page when i was checking my mail.
Very very sad news indeed
I met her and got her autograph at a con in Boston back in the early 80's.
I will cherish her signed photo even more now.
May she now live among the stars with Gene for eternity
