wiseheartWell, I've written the first two chapters of the alternate Voyager pilot. No real changes so far, only scetching the inner thoguhts of some main characters (namely Chakotay and Paris). The true differences will come after they've been hurled into the Delta Quadrant.
I used the novelization by L.A. Graf as a structural aid, but my take on the characters are completely different. I greatly dislike her self-righteous, arrogant Janeway. At least I think the author is a she. It seems to me that I've read a reference once...
Anyway, as with many Trek novelizations, I find the characterization a little superficial and the situations (the ones not in the actual episode) handled with a too heavy hand. Which doesn't mind that mine would be any better, of course...
Writing Trek fanfic is research-heavy business, too. The technobabble alone could drive one crazy. It's a good thing that the offcial website has a Library section where I can look up all the planets and food items and technical gadgets and stuff. Though the character list made me a little disappointed. They list all irrelevant security guards, but they haven't listened Sito Jaxa, who was in *two* TNG episodes and died heroically in "Lower Decks".
I might send the guys an e-mail about it.
Anyway, I can't post them here because both chapters are 8-10 pages long. [sighs]
