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

Dear Chuck,
This is the first time I have read this article in almost forty years. Obviously, I have forgotten a lot of it. Some things I don't remember writing. Did you enhance it by adding things? For example, I don't think that I would have used the term "stellar navigator", which I interpret as "really great navigator". "Solar navigator" maybe. And I remember using the term "modulus of elasticity", which I did not find in this version. At any rate, the article makes me sound so smart that I am amazed at myself. Starman obviously had a powerful emotional effect on me.
Charles

Chuck and I welcome your comments on our new story, either here on Starmanet, privately or on the A03 site, and I am sure our fellow fanfic writers appreciate your feedback on their stories too.

Chuck,
Big oops! Since I wrote the article 24 years ago, it obviously hasn't been forty years since I last read it. It just seems like forty years. Oh well, just one of the problems of being almost 79 years old.

Chuck,
In rereading my piece, I notice a misspelling. Under the section titles "Limitations: Scott and the sphere", there is a paragraph that begins "But just as his teacher needs to understand". Later on, the sentence should read,"Scott apparently needs practice in both spatial relationships and in imaging". Spatial relationships refers to how various elements in a situation fit together, I would not have knowingly used "special relationships". If I did, I apologize.
Charles
