btw imagine 14-yr-old me reading about here come the brides for the first time and getting very confused about how a bunch of the characters from a star trek book had been in a television show nearly twenty years before the book was ever published.
everyone talking about the movie has got me thinking about star trek (obviously). i started re-reading the wounded sky last night and am thinking about ishmael and other books. i'm wondering if there's a comm for star trek novels on lj (or dreamwidth). if there isn't would anyone be interested if i made one? i love star trek in most of its iterations but in a lot of ways the novels were really my fandom, and i've been seeing a lot of people talking about the old books and reminiscing and a lot of new fans asking what books they should read and it would be nice to have a place that focused on that. plus i'm anticipating paramount wanting to make some more money off the movie and they'll probably start releasing movie-verse novels soon, and there's a lot of potential for awesome there.
i'm thinking we could have groups readthroughs as well as be a nice central place for book discussion/questions/ etc. if it already exists point me to it but if not i'd love to make it happen so there's a place for people to post about k's't'lk and scotty's epic love or compare and contrast vulcan culture in the vulcan academy murders and, say, demons or the lost years.
