"I have long
considered the creative impulse to be a visit -- a thing of grace,
perhaps not commanded or owned, as much as awaited and prepared for. A
thing of mystery." -- Loreena McKennitt, from "The Visit"

The stories here
are the result of the on-line Star Trek game played by myself and Jay
P. Hailey. Some of these short pieces are by myself, some are by
Hailey. Usually he writes in his version of Trek and I write in mine. I
am happy to say that some aspects of my universe have grabbed him
enough to inspire a few short pieces. These appear with his gracious
permission.
I
consider anything that happens in the game to be part and parcel of
Epiphany Trek, and I take it into account. Parts of the game have made
their way into ST-OM proper as well. A good deal of the plot for Rondo
in Green was extracted from game moves in the Phoenixplay game. Some of
Jay's characters have had cameos on Epiphany Trek as well. |
