Progress Report

From Steven Paul Petrick:

Work progresses on many projects. This week, SVC and I intend to take a first look at sending fixes for the selected fiction story for Captain's Log #36 to the author. The story is a clash between major Seltorian and Tholian units that the author, Randy O. Green, created from snippets of information from the historical backgrounds of various units. Randy melded these items into a cohesive story which SVC and I have reviewed.
No, I am not going to tell you the story here, you will have to wait for Captain's Log #36 to learn any more about the action and what elements are tied together.
SVC and I have both read Randy's story, and checked the background items he is using to build his story. We simply need to communicate to Randy some corrections that he needs to complete his story and make it mesh with the way the Star Fleet Universe works. Randy is already looking forward to these fixes, as we had the opportunity at Origins to sit down with him, and with senior staffer Michael Filsinger in attendance, and discuss several of these points. We do not often have such opportunities, but in this case we already had Randy's story (submitted some months before) and were ready to discuss it with him when he showed up. Mike Filsinger had not read the story, but served as a sounding board for our thoughts and read a further outline that Randy had brought with him during the discussion.
