One New Story and Several Others Now Up on How Novel as of 6/22
by Chuck S 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Hi everyone, Nina and I are pleased to announce our next story, "What Would Dad Say? - Episode 2 of STARMAN - The Next Generation" is now posted. Like our previous one, we consider this a 25th Anniversary STARMAN Fan Fiction, this time commemorating the founding of SSI on May 22, 1987. You can see I'm big on history! It's set in the immediate aftermath of Scott becoming a first time dad of the 10 year old boy described in TNG, but can certainly be enjoyed without having read the original story. Here, Scott learns the joys and tribulations of instant fatherhood, while searching for larger quarters somewhere near his parents in Baraboo, Wisconsin to replace his cramped bachelor pad in Madison. As he tries to teach STARMAN family values to Scotty, he finds himself often asking himself, "What would Dad say?" While hiking around Devil's Lake near Baraboo, Paul and Scott discuss parenting and Scott's feelings for Julie. Scott's parental skills are put to the test when Scotty experiences his first crisis in dealing with real life, and Scott has to come up with an answer to a pivotal question his son raises. 11,126 words. http://archiveofourown.org/works/438838 Other stories posted this time are: "It's Not Magic" by Charles Leitwiler, 1989, 3971 words. http://archiveofourown.org/works/434145 How exactly does that sphere work, anyway? "Rest Stop" by Ellen Jackson, 1991, 660 words. http://archiveofourown.org/works/434131 Scott asks his father questions about how choices are made by his people about which other planets to contact. "They're Not History Yet" by Vicki Hessel Werkley, 2003, 548 words. http://archiveofourown.org/works/434094 Paul and Scott eagerly await the next edition of Blue Lights. "Our Troubles Weren't So Different" by Vicki Hessel Werkley, 1988, 4,417 words. http://archiveofourown.org/works/434085 A different take on "Peregrine" - from Waldo's point of view! "Crazy Like a Fox" by Zena Uzep, 1999, 6,356 words. http://archiveofourown.org/works/433419 Fox Mulder comes up against George Fox while trying to catch Paul Forrester. Instead, the four agents get caught by unfriendly aliens, and it's Paul Forrester to the rescue!

Marian, Yes, please do take the time to post your comments on Fanfiction.net. You can do it either as a registered user or as an anonymous poster - though anonymous allows one to put in a name. If you do it as a registered user, the author can reply to you through the FF.net Private Message system. It takes just minutes to register and you can be as anonymous as you want even as a registered user. There is a button at the bottom of each story section that opens up the window for a review. Just copy and paste what you've already written here and submit it. Reviews posted on Fanfiction.net are available for anyone to read so favorable reviews posted there can sway another person to read the story. It can be like a snowball. :) I presume anonymous reviews also show up there - not just in the author's inbox though I've never experimented with them. And as a shameless plug, since Chuck does it - :) all the time - I'm in the process of posting all my stories on FF.net as I have some that are not Starman. Note that when reading in FF.net if a story is a crossover, as many of mine are, you have to pick that at the start OR choose to search by author and you get all posted by that person. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3968921/Desertgal Desertgal AKA Effie > 1.

Fanfic and Travels with Starman

Hi all, As Chuck has mentioned, talking about the flourishing of the Starman fic project, I am one who has been very much enjoying the chance to read all these stories (as my busy work life permits) I want to take a moment to highly praise Sheeplady46's (Joyce?) saga, "Travels with Starman" ( posted on fanfic.net) I'm only 2 segments into it, but I have only been able to put it down for the most necessary breaks--working and preparing food. Joyce, I LOVE the thought you have put into your stories! Your series characters are so recognizable, and your new characters so clearly drawn as individual people with their own strengths and challenges; and your locations are so detailed and so informed with your understanding of their geography and history--I felt like I was there. I also love the flow of your stories: things that happen, do because they need to happen (although I did keep waiting for the guys in the tower, overhearing Paul and Scott talking frankly at the 4th of July carnival, to cause some trouble afterward.) My editor-fingers itched to take a blue-pencil for some spelling and punctuation and word choices, but I was too busy reading to find out what happened next to these beloved characters to get up and search for one! And I was very impressed with your knowledge and love of farm life and the politics of farming, and your way of bringing up vital ideas about these--AND with your take on Starman's home world, its character, and morality. I feel that you extrapolated beautifully from the show, and made sense of conflicting messages about Starman's nature given in the episodes you mentioned. And you brought in so many episodes as perfectly apt flashbacks. I had forgotten so much (not having splurged on series DVDs, I confess) but your mentions triggered much pleasurable remembering! I don't know how, or if, I can post this in Fanfiction.net as a favorable review, but I'm stating it in the record right here! Marian Huntsman Oh, yeah, and I have to do some chores before I can start on part 3, but I really want to start RIGHT NOW!!

Scott's Father's Day Song - "Thank You for Being My Dad"
by Chuck S 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

There are many songs out there for Father’s Day, but this one by an obscure artist nailed it. It’s simple, yet elegant in its simplicity, a song that would resonate with Scott and Paul. Whether you’re the father or the child, giving or receiving this song would be very special. It’s downloadable on iTunes if you want to play it for someone alive or passed. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWY1vFMdma0&feature=related> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWY1vFMdma0&feature=related.

Next Batch of Stories Now Up on How Novel as of 6/8
by Chuck S 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Hello Everyone, In celebration of SSI's 25th anniversary, I've chosen to feature a number of veteran writers going back to SSI's very beginnings, including stories from one Founding Parent, Chris Menefee, and a Flashfic from Vicki Werkley. Leading the list is the very first story ever publicized in Blue Lights in October 1987, mere months after SSI's formation. We also have reached a significant milestone this time out: the Archive has surpassed 100 stories, 95 under the official SSI How Novel banner. One story by Patti Hemeleski garnered kudos from a reader within hours after posting. We've heard from one writer who is already working on an entry in our "Star Return" Writing Contest, and also have some "definite maybe's" out there so far. Join in on the fun! Think about one character that fascinated you and tell us what happened to them! Details of the contest are posted at: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/STARMAN_Writing_Contest. Enjoy the stories! "Visit From Home" by Rhonda Tylinski, 1987, 22,094 words. http://archiveofourown.org/works/428370 The first STARMAN story publicized in Blue Lights. A chance encounter along a lonely road in Montana brings Paul and Scott an unexpected companion. For several weeks they live together happily until a curious magazine editor makes an inquiry that brings Fox to their peaceful haven. Fox is always amazed when help is given to the alien by others, but this time, that help comes from a completely surprising source. "She Calls Herself Lisa" by Vicki Hessel Werkley, 851 words. http://archiveofourown.org/works/428346 A writer tries to befriend a sad, lonely painter in the artist community of Mendocino, California.

Studying the many birds making their habitat in the vicinity, Scott learns something about adolescence, while Paul marvels at nature's variety. Is Wylie really a bird watcher? "The Stereoscope" by Christine Menefee, 1993, 1417 words. http://archiveofourown.org/works/414329 Shortly after their discussion of the "local option", when Scott tries to convince Paul that Scott doesn't have to attend school, father and son visit an antique shop, where Paul becomes fascinated by the images in an old stereoscope. The experience brings them closer together, and enroute to a magical place. (Editor's Note: this story occurs after the episode "Like Father, Like Son".)
