writing is weird because sometimes I’ll have no ideas and everything in my head is kind of quiet but then something will happen and it’s like there’s these goblins living in my brain that just start shouting little phrases at me until I sit down and finally write the poem or story or whatever
ancient greek and roman poets: sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story
me, banging pots and pans together: wake the fuck up goblins!! what the fuck is up!!
Thank god someone and their goblins finally put it into words
Picard.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Not only do I LOVE this, but um, I saw this at a used bookstore earlier today (yes, while vainly checking for certain DS9 spin-off novels) and:
TWO OF THE MOST POWERFUL FORCES IN THE UNIVERSE ARE ABOUT TO COLLIDE
(… yeah, I bought it.)
Q-in-Law is genuinely one of the most delightful ST books I’ve ever read.
Okay, but do you know the behind the scenes element of Q-in-Law? Peter David was having issues getting it published, with the studio not sending him any editorial notes on it, effectively turning him down, so he went direct to Majel Barrett at a convention. She asked to read the manuscript, and proceeded to go to the Paramount offices, GUSHING about it. Within days, he got the comments from the office.
Also the audiobook version actually has Majel Barrett AND John de Lancie reading it.
Seriously, if you’re a Trek fan, you can’t go wrong with this book.
I own this, and it is great. And I hadn’t heard the last bit. Wonderful.
I just had the most hardcore nerd flashback of my LIFE this book was amazing and I had forgotten about it completely until just now.
