What's going on over at The Trek Collective?

[Defcon]

The TrekCollective is back!

As a certain song goes: "It's been a long time..."

Last year I decided to have a few days break from the Trek-sphere, and with the busy busy life I've been living lately, that accidentally became a whole year!

I've been clamouring to get back in the game ever since, but struggled to get back up to date with all the Trek goings on - Star Trek has also had a rather busy year!

But, now I have, and here I am. Normal service from 8of5 of The Trek Collective resumes today. As ever you did before you'll find here all the latest news on every aspect of Trek, with particular love for all the tie-in fiction, model ships, and other Star Trek things!

It's going to take me a little while to get all my schedule and resource pages back up to date, so please bare with me on those. But regular news posting starts now. I also intend to back fill all the news I miss, as much so I'm back in touch with it all as anything; so look out for all those back-dated posts too!

I switched off all my 8of5 communications channels when I took my break, but I see I've had a LOT of messages of concern and requests for updates. Sorry for leaving you all in limbo, and thank you for caring! I'll try and send replies to all those who contacted me individually in due course, but I am really grateful and moved that so many people cared!

Now, I've got some posts to write!

Hi all,

I'm really really Really touched there was so much concern for me! And also really sorry I caused that concern!

I've had an awful lot going on in the rest of my life for a couple of years now, and it got to a point last year where I was just too exhausted, so I decided to give myself a few days break and switched all my Trek Collective stuff off. And then life continued to be busy, and I didn't manage to get caught up.

But I really wanted to, I enjoy doing what I do, and missed all my Star Trek friends. So finally, I've whipped myself into shape, and made the time I need to get back in action.

Sorry for the absence, and the worry. Glad to be back at last

Was really glad and really surprised when I heard from you this afternoon 8of5. Glad you are back and if there’s ever any way I can help you out to keep your pet project from being too overwhelming to continue, let me know. Would hate for you to have to reach that point again.

Good news to have the site back, but better news knowing it wasn't due to misfortune.
