Fan Fiction – Week XII – “Star Trek: Worlds of Doubt”

Written in 1996, “Star Trek: Worlds of Doubt” was only my third fan fic and my first attempt at a longer, multi-part story.

Inspired by an encounter with actor Gary Lockwood at a science fiction convention, I wanted to explore the earlier years of Kirk’s command, when Gary Mitchell (portrayed by Lockwood) was ship’s navigator and the chief medical officer was Mark Piper (Paul Fix) as seen in the classic episode, “Where No Man Has Gone Before.”

In this adventure, the Enterprise is summoned to the twin worlds of Voitaan and Dreknor to render aid after a disaster. However, Kirk and crew soon learn that there is more here than originally reported including missing scientists and a potential planetary disaster…

Fan Fiction – Week XI – Star Trek: TNG/DS9 Crossover

And now the conclusion of “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – Lasting Impressions” in which we learn that the murder of Daimon Gresh is linked to the mysterious Gul Drojeer and the crew of the Enterprise uncovers the truth on Chandai II, but not before narrowly escaping a skirmish with the infamous Gul Dukat.

Next week, we go back to the original five-year mission of classic Star Trek during a time when Gary Mitchell was at the helm of the Enterprise and Doctor Mark Piper was Chief Medical Officer. Stay tuned for “Star Trek: Worlds of Doubt.”

Fan Fiction – Week Nine – Star Trek: TNG/DS9 Crossover

For me, Deep Space Nine was the last great Star Trek television series, yet this story from 1997 is the only DS9 fan fiction I ever wrote. “Lasting Impressions” is a crossover tale that brings together the crews of Deep Space Nine and the USS Enterprise-E immediately following the events chronicled in the film Star Trek: First Contact.

Opening this adventure, we meet legendary Bajoran resistance fighter, Reve Talin, who resurfaces a decade after escaping his home planet during the Cardassian occupation. In hot pursuit is the ruthless Gul Drojeer. Each accuses the other of murder, but is there more to the story?

Fan Fiction – Week Seven – Indiana Jones

Written in 2001, my first and only Indiana Jones fan fiction pits Indy against the infamous Nazi Colonel Erwin Rommel (aka “The Desert Fox”) on a quest to unearth an ancient lost city in the sands of Saudi Arabia’s Rub al Khali desert, also known as the “Empty Quarter.”

In part two, we catch up with Indy as he arrives in Saudi Arabia in the company of businessmen from Standard Oil, but when he parts ways with them to join fellow archaeologist Diana Forrestal, Indy draws the attention of the Nazis.

As an added bonus, I’ve included excerpts from the unofficial comic book version of this throughout the story. Click here to read part two of “Indiana Jones and the Towers of the Empty Quarter.”
