Just wondering?

[enterprikayak]

Dude, if there is anything a site about two cancelled characters on a cancelled ship on a cancelled show needs, it is some NEW story lines involving said cancelled chars/starships/whatever. Get writing. Sounds great to me.

Or you could read my reboot. Just saying.

The other thing I just thought of since this is fan fiction is there any risk that someone would sue you for using characters from other series?
CX I have read your fiction and I am sad that your stopping with the last run for season 6.

[CoffeeCat]

I think the risk is pretty minimal - particularly with Star Trek. But usually TPTB with any series will encourage fan fiction because it's a free advertisement for their show or movie.

I have written a little bit I am unsure if I can post it here or who I should have read it before I post it. Any help would be appreciated.

It honestly depends on whose work your using (other than Star Trek, that is). I know that fanfiction.net, for example, lists these authors:

* P.N. Elrod
* Raymond Feist
* Terry Goodkind
* Laurell K. Hamilton
* Robin Hobb
* Dennis L. McKiernan
* Robin McKinley
* Irene Radford
* Anne Rice
* Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb
* Archie comics

as being ones that do not wish fanfiction of their work to be posted on the Internet, so any story based on their works (or using their characters) is not allowed there.

Most TV shows/production companies don't care too much, though there are, on occasion, some that get a bit overzealous and want to stop anything and everything that isn't "officially" approved by them from being posted.

I kind of figured that Anne Rice would be out. Ive stuck with series where I have found other fan fiction that exists on the net. Personally I would love to see Anne's vampires in the star trek universe but I doubt that she would. And since I have read so much of her stuff I am not sure how to pull off a vampire story without it sounding cheesey.

IMOHO, they're pretty stupid for being like that. As I said before, it's a free advertizement for their show and it also gives them some indication of what the fans really want to see.

Weird off topic comment....but my dad is friends with Anne Rices Cousin.....he has gotten to meet her AND eat lunch with her.

Said she was nice.....but a bit on the creepy side.

:O

Here are a couple of my ideas...
My first idea involves Borg nanoprobes,Trip,T'Pol and the crew of Voyager, as well as the Borg Queen. I usually hate temporal stories but I have this idea of Trip and the Borg.
My second idea involves several characters from Anne Rice and the Vampire Chronicles as well as Trip,T'Pol,Soval and Section 31
My third idea involves the Taelons and Ha'gel from Earths Final Conflict and TnT.
Still working on a 24 version and a Farscape version.
I am unsure of a way to work TnT into the SG series.
What does everyone think?

I'd be careful with Anne Rice. I have also heard that she won't allow fan fiction. The SG link would be interesting, but it would probably have to involve time travel (since SG is supposed to be taking place now at some secret subterranean base) if you're going to include the SG-1 team. Maybe get SGA involved and have the ancients come up with a time travel device which pulls one of the SG ships to the future and have the future be the ST universe since WWIII destroyed all of the stargates and forced the development of warp technology. They're out in the middle of nowhere with no way to get back to Earth because Earth's stargate is destroyed and along comes Enterprise to the rescue.

Farscape would be easy. Just pull out another wormhole. Same for Firefly. Come to think of it, I've read a Firefly/Enterprise crossover, but I didn't think it was very good. I'm pretty sure it's posted on HoT. I'm afraid I know nothing about "Final Conflict" and the idea of Trip and the Borg really doesn't interest me much, so I have no suggestions there.

[evcake]

Yes - No Dominion is one story I've never managed to get into. Crossovers are pretty hard to keep afloat.

Uh, what? FND is taking a mid-season hiatus, but we're only in our first season.

[Hondafan]

I think it would be interesting to see Trip as a Borg and T'Pol has to rescue him. Basically ending up where both Trip and T'Pol are in some future together.

[Hondafan]

You guys can probably figure out that my second favorite Scifi series is Earths Final Conflict by now.. That series just lends itself to overlaps. The more I write the more idea's I get is that like that for everyone that writes here? Or am I a super nerd now?
