Hi! Um. It's been awhile. I am sorry. I'm afraid I let entropy win for awhile there.
But I do want this community to live!
Does anyone have any Star Trek Book related fanworks from the past few months they want to mention here?
Is anyone interested in re-starting the read-through? (I have the rest of the Rihannsu books ready. I just ... never posted them.)
Is anyone interested in becoming a co-mod? Your primary duty would be to start discussion posts when the community is being too quiet.
I'll start things off: As a companion to
ljc's T'Kay Stories, based on Vulcan mythology from "Spock's World" and "Uhura's Song", I recently posted some artifacts relating to Vulcan Mythology that I found at Starfleet Academy's Annapolis library, along with discussion of their provenance and historical significance.

Date: 2010-03-12 01:12 am (UTC)I think re-starting the read-through would be a good idea. I'd need a chance to catch up to everyone else though.

Date: 2010-03-12 02:10 am (UTC)Would a sign-up sheet with a schedule for members leading discussions be a good idea? It would certainly cut down on the work for me, which is always a good thing.
We were going to move on to other books after we finished Rihannsu anyway! We just ... never got through Rihannsu. Because I suck.
sequel sequel yay!

Date: 2010-03-12 02:53 am (UTC)I would be up for more readthrough. I have now purchased the Rihannsu books on my Kindle (this is, I think, the third time I've bought most of them), so I am set. I just need to read them again. Oh, the hardship.
I would also like this community to live. Because this community is made of awesome. *makes note to self: post more, lurk less*

Date: 2010-03-12 03:25 am (UTC)Wounded Sky actually covers a lot of the same mystical/moral/metaphorical ground re:entropy etc as YW, only inside-out-and-backwards. I would kind of really love to see an extended discussion of Wounded Sky as taking place in the Young Wizards pleroma, with K't'lk in the part of Sa'rrahh. :D
Post more, lurk less: one of those wonderful ideas that's harder than it sounds.

Date: 2010-03-12 04:43 am (UTC)I remembered the Dairine-Doctor scene, though. I definitely am interested in reading Jack Harkness/K't'lk. (My cross-species kink, let me show you it.) I think we can safely conclude that pretty much all of Diane Duane's works are in the same universe, what with Stealing the Elf King's Roses also being in YW. (Not sure how the Tale of the Five fits, but am thinking about it.)
I think one of the things I love so much about Wounded Sky is that it reads, to me, as a rougher and more raw version of the way entropy is handled in the YW-verse. It's less codified and refined by in-universe magic rules, but I think I like it better.
...sa'Rrahh is the cats' Lone Power, right? How do you see that working? *is curious* Man, now I have to reread those. Hmm.

Date: 2010-03-12 05:22 am (UTC)K't'lk is totally the Power who brought entropy to the Universe in Wounded Sky! Only she did it *right*, that time. One of the things that fascinates me thinking about it is that while entropy is handled in a more raw way in Wounded Sky, it's also in a much more clearly *ambiguous* way than in YW - entropy is pain, but anentropia, sometimes, is *worse*; the ambiguity is there in places in YW, but it's never as inescapable.
