Andreas Bodensohn's graphics
are stunning, his vision unique and his stories
Wagnerian in scope. I recommend you consider accompanying
him
on his evolution as a writer ... and into a universe
quite unlike any other in Trek.
Despite the pretension of having his name before the logo, Alex is a pretty
unassuming
guy—which means he'll know I'm joking. The graphics and
layout on his site are really
impressive, and his literary abilities continue to improve. Take
a chance, and a look.
DH has made a splash in the fanfic
community of late ... and its author, Michael Gray, is very
familiar to
“Lost Sheep” have each won prizes in the Star
Trek:
[How's that
for consistency?] If you like high adventure with a little
melodrama thrown in, take a gander at this site.
This is the kind of "no-frills" Star Trek you might see if
Robert B. Parker wrote
The Next
Generation—a "meat-and-potatoes" style that certain readers
might dismiss as plain ... but is, in this case, a matter
of substance over spice.
Johnny R. Call is a native Arkansan, but despite the contrary indications you
might get from that
Razorback obduracy and "Aw, shucks" accent,
he writes some compelling fiction.
I've known
him for years; it's been a pleasure to watch him grow as a writer. And
if I take some small credit
for that evolution, who could blame me?
I'm not exactly a proponent of what some people might call "
"ChickTrek";
Julie Raybon-Winningham,
though, compels me with her composition
and vision—along with a crisp, engrossing style. Now, if we
can
actually get her to finish
stories, instead of her frustrating
style of "fire and forget," we'll all be happier....
Richard Merk doesn't take
himself too seriously, which is probably a good thing.
He describes his work as "inimitably superfluous"—from
what I've seen, an
amusing little bit of reverse psychology. His photomanipulations are
wonderful, with a sense of aesthetics I've rarely seen, and
his
whimsical style belies the fiction's solidity... and
its edge. In other words, he doesn't suck.
