There is a wonderful web site called 1001 Trek Tales which publishes vintage Trek fiction with the permission of the authors. Two of my stories are on it, though not the best. They just happened to be in the collection the editor had. I wrote about 150 fan stories in my time.<br /><br />I mustSue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-53583162361521686972018-02-15T13:40:09.300-05:002018-02-15T13:40:09.300-05:00Hi, again, Sue!

I tried watching a couple of NextGen episodes, but never warm up to that version of ST. Ditto with the other versions. For me, Star Trek is Mr. Spock, Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Chekhov, Sulu, and Chapel. They're my gang!!! Lol.<br /><br />So you've written ST fan fiction? AWESOME!!

Those were the days when fan fiction was published in printed fanzines; I would buy them at Trek marathons and go home to curl up with my new zine... or I would get my contributor copies in the mail. <br />This.

I'm lucky to have this GREAT Indie bookstore, Booka & Books, right here in Miami, as they have author presentations all year long! I haven't gone to any recent book events there, though, because I'm trying to hold back on book buying.
