Aces High: No problem. Thank you for your interest in my anthology. I'm just seeing if there's any ~other~ authors, veteran or beginner, out there in the interwebs.
I'm not really hugely interested in collaborative stories, just singular-author works with original characters and an original ship / station / homeworld that hasn't been written about before, extensively or otherwise.
I don't mind a cameo appearance of a canon character (such as Geordi LaForge, Kirk, Bones, et al.) to help the author
branch off from a certain specific point in quasi-canon text-based novels and / or graphic novels, canon TV episodes / movies.
But, I prefer the already-generously-established canon character(s) please stay within the prologue, first paragraph or first chapter (or two).
I don't mind slash but keep it somewhat sedentary, believable / realistic, (two male or two female and/or transgendered crew-persons are screwing passionately, then cuddling, one gets out of bed, showers, gets dressed, does the domestic/family thing with the dog and kids, and leaves for work.) Begin the adventure in Star Trek at this point and end the adventure in harlequin bodice-ripper style romance/erotica at this point, too.
Know what I mean?
Oh, and a few other things.
- If you're going to create a story, please add old earth-style calendar date(s) with your stardate(s).
- Schematics / orthos of ships/stations really help, too. or a series bible done in either ".html" or a ".pdf" file on your site.
- An extensively-detailed backstory / origin of the captain, crew and/or threat in your story/stories really helps out the first-time readers too.
- Oh, and please don't hesitate to mention the specific class / registry number of your starship, (I'm not a big stickler about suffixes: "U.S.S. Voyager-A", or "NCC 1701-A, B, or C") so go ahead and use them as there's only so many names in Starfleet, & in my opinion, there's bound to be one or two that will stand-out besides the Enterprise in its entire future-history.
