"Thinking of You" was hilarious; Greg nailed Lwaxana and Barclay, though didn't poor Barclay have enough issues without adding telepaths?.
What's one more neurosis among friends?
This was *definitely* the best of the anniversary anthologies. Almost no misses. Four Lights could've been better, and Turncoats was pretty lame, but all the rest landed.
I was really surprised at the final entry, actually; I thought the first story was a bit of a non sequitor, but then the last one made that tiny little tale into something huge and surprisingly powerful.
This anthology took a lot of chances that the others didn't, and I felt really nailed all of them; non-linear storytelling, strange new forms of life, major character turns (Friends With The Sparrows)...all kinds of good stuff.
Not usually a fan of the anthologies, as I like my stories long and epic, but this worked for me. Nice job all around.

I love anthologies from star trek to buffy to star wars . Some of the best stories came out of anthologies . Look at twilight zone great anthologies show . Will there be any more anthologies coming out for star trek other than the vangaurd one ?
bring back new worlds love fan fictions .

Hmm? I guess you're referring to Star Trek: The New Voyages from Bantam, but the fact is, for Pocket, Trek anthologies are a relatively recent phenomenon, beginning only in 1998 with the first Strange New Worlds. The first non-contest Trek anthology was The Lives of Dax in 1999. So it's more like 12-13 years than 35.
My favorite is Constellations, personally, but they're all pretty neat.
Wow, thanks! Glad you liked it.
Yeah, I'll admit I just looked for the earliers anthology I could find on Memory Beta, and that was TNV #1. I didn't realize anthologies were that recent of a thing for Pocket.
They're pretty much a PAD-only series (save for, AFAIK, the anthology).
And the NF books are still coming out.
There was a brief reference to the Exal. in one of the Destiny books, but that is all there ever is in something that PAD doesn't write (other than the one anthology). And PAD doesn't ever acknowledge the events from books outside of his bibliography.
The SCE (or Corps of Engineers, as it's been known since '06) series was put on hiatus ( I don't think it was actually officialy stopped) following the release of Rememberance of Things Past in September 2007. According to KRAD the earliest possible point that that could change would be after the last paperback collection is released, but nothing has been announced about when that could happen yet.
As for the avatar, I'm really looking forward Camelot. I love Arthurian stories, and this looks like a really good one.

Just don't get used to some of those new crewmembers. Especially those who have the same name but are completely different. 
And no, Seven is not a permanent member of the Enterprise-E crew.

No, Seven isn't an Ent. crew member, but she does go on to become a regular on another series after Destiny.
finished resistance today I liked it was a good book . for a borg type story it had it's momments like the return of the queen and worf comming to terms with jadzia passing on . but it was'nt the same as endgame from voyager or first contact .
which are my two favorite borg in counters . also , diw is a little better in the action
department .
now I am on Q&A about 50 pgs in love it so far .

That reminds me of something I forgot to mention in the appropriate thread at the appropriate time, there was a reference to an event in "Treason" in "Paths of Disharmony," which I appreciated because I'd been fuzzy on where exactly New Frontier was in relation to the chronology after the time-jump.
(IIRC, "Treason" took place about a year prior to "Destiny.")
