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
