Massive Update Part 1: Prose

Sorry for the downtime peoples, I've been rather busy, assimilating new cultures as it were, and somewhat disconnected from the ol' Collective.

Newsarmama's coverage of the San Diego Comic Convention Trek-lit events included some addition information: Editor Margaret Clark has stated TOS remains off limits for prose projects for the time being to avoid contradicting the new movie (though the list above has a number of new TOS titles which would seem to contradict that reported statement). Newsarama also offered this startling round up of how big Destiny will be: "a wide-spread fallout that will leave only 11 starships behind" *gasp* I’m scared!

Finally, TrekMovie has been continuing its extensive coverage of the first two Myriad Universes anthologies (out about now), with excerpts reviews and interviews for: Places of Exile, Christopher L. Bennett's alternate take on Voyager; Seeds of Dissent, a DS9 centered alternate universe in which Kahn reigned supreme, by James Swallow; The Chimes at Midnight, Geoff Trowbridge's look at the TOS movie era as it would have been if Yesteryear's alternate timeline with Thelin as first officer had continued; and A Gutted World, Keith R.A. DeCandido's look at the Trekverse had Bajor never been freed from the Cardassians.
