Now I know this may sound corny and such but is anyone of you members and loyal Wing Commander fans writing any W.C. books? I am, I think it's coming along pretty well. This post is basically to see if anyone else is writing.

Book? Yes. WC Book? No. Although I am writing a pretty shitty story over in the Fan Fiction forum. Writing in an already established Universe is hard stuff-- especially with ten years of material to work around. Hope it goes well for you.

Go to the FanFic section

. There are one or two stories worth reading there. And my story certainly intends to be a book; halfway there in fact

. Of course, when I say book, I just mean its lenght and quality. Certainly, I do not see any chances of publishing it.

Really? Then why are there so many mainstream fiction books out there

? Are they not written about an already established Universe? People writing about the WC Universe are lucky. They only have to plough through a decade's worth of material, and throw in an obscure reference to the 20th century every once in a while - but people writing about the normal 20th century have to consider about a century's worth of obscure little facts

"Pilgrim Truth" should get out some time this year. Take a look at the CIC home page!

I`ve noticed that not all books were written by the same person, so it was kind of hard for me to figure out which comes after which, and which one I should order now from Amazon. Thanks Death

That's not what I meant.

And I never said writing a book set in the 20th Century is any easier. That's equally hard. You gotta read things more carefully before you analyze 'em, Quarto.
