The Three-Paragraph Saga
To my fans who hoped or feared I would never write again: I’m back at work on the Seven Saga. I have three, count ‘em, three new paragraphs! No, I’m not a perfectionist when it comes to writing fanfiction, but research is another matter. I spent half an hour making up a Romulan word for “Borg”, with the help of The Universal Translator Assistant Project.
Most of the rest of the time devoted to the Seven Saga (my infinite retelling of the Voyager story from Seven’s perspective) has been spent on a meticulous reading of the first few relevant episodes among Jim Wright’s Voyager Reviews, along with some cutting and pasting of dialogue. I hate it when people transcribe the show and call it fanfic, without even the humorous stage directions provided by Jim, but I’m hoping that Seven’s perspective will be sufficiently different from the camera’s-eye view to avoid the Sin of Transcription. I guess it will be a paragraph-by-paragraph effort.
So far, I’ve spackled the most glaring discontinuae in Seven’s history, though her fluctuating age and the Earth question are still at issue. If anyone has picked all the nits, do email me with the details.
