The funny thing is, when I first started writing the story about 8 years ago, I had intended it to be all about Keith Ford but it's turning more into a Straker story. The thing is, it seems to work as it is-it's got it's own momentum so I'm just letting the story have its head.

Oh boy, I know  the feeling!  Sometimes a character simply takes over and all you can do is to go with the flow!
It's looking good though!

I've totally re-written the scenes between Straker and Brezhnev - the original version just didn't feel right. This version, although I say so myself, is far more in keeping with the series. Now I just have to link it in the correct place and make good the plasterwork.
THEN, I can bring Ford back from Turkey...

Do you mind my asking how you got it this far?  Do Titan Books publish fan fiction?  I always understood that you'd have to get permission from the copyright owners (ie The Anderson's or whoever owns the characters now) as otherwise having a UFO story published would infringe copyright.  Is that why they passed maybe? I dunno  Huh

I know that in the US you can submit Star Trek stories to the ptb's as long as you have an agent, is that the same thing as here?

Hope you don't mind my asking I am mega curious as to how you got it this far.

Many thanks Smiley
