I know the name Diane Duane, and her Cats of Grand Central. Somehow I think my first exposure to her was something that started as fanfiction that actually was picked up by a star trek publisher. (Novels:"Dreadnought and Battlestations") Not sure I really should dive FURTHER down that rabbit hole until after I actually finish reading the original author's stories about that city and his primary viewpoint character.You do realize that any of the Startrek books that were not written out by Gene Roddenberry is Still Fanfiction? Even if it was written by "Professional Writers".
It did start out as a Televised Miniseries, One that got Cancelled early in the season even.
This is me, rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off.
As far as I'm concerned, Star Trek canon starts with Duane's novels, and continues on from there to the original televised series and movies.
This is, however, not the most appropriate thread for such discussion.
