That sounds wonderful, Entallat. 8-)

I know Middleman is having a busy time at work. I exchanged a couple of tweets with him last night. If you DM him I know he'll see it and get back to you when he can. @Middleman_1 if you don't already have it.

Also, the hashtag is a wonderful idea. Is it maybe a good idea to shorten it so there's more room for the rest of the tweet? Or no? Or have the hashtag itself *be* the message? Just an idea, don't know how viable it is.

This is pretty exciting, you guys!

great idea Micheal Martin wants to write more Enterprise novels.He'd probably appreciate fan support for the new Book in fact he told me recently that he asked the Editors about wanting to write more Enterprise novels but the editors haven't asked him to write Entrprise books for the time being . Right now he's working on a Titan novel. also it's a good idea to let the editors know there are fans who want to buy other Startrek fiction besides post Tng era novels being published to the exclusion of other Startrek series.That we want to see more Enterprise novels or other books that takes place during the tv series to be published .Or an Enterprise short story anthology.Staretrek magazine is going to publish an extract from To Brave the strom in their next magazine that's the Enterprise 10 th anniversary special.

I'm going to try to get the letter drafted before I head out of town this week. Somebody kick me if I don't have it posted before Saturday morning?

Yup! I got to talk to him a bit in PM.

I thought about that. There's a couple of possibilities: #stenterprise #startrekent #stent

The only ones I wouldn't suggest using are #ENT or #enterprise When I've followed those hashtags before, the trek tweets get lost amid a lot of business "corporate enterprise" talk. :) I'd like to have more room for the tweet, but I wonder if a) if might be best to leave it where it was, since it was successful or b) it can't really be confused with anything else. What's your preference?

Yes! I'm loving all of this! Count me in for any help you need, EntAllat!

Another thought. We could also add a topic in other forums to promote what we're doing, plus there is a facebook page, Enterprise News Today, which will be all for it, and would support and promote what's going on. There is also the Facebook page for TrekUnited.

My thoughts on the #tag. I think we should go with the #startrekenterprise one. Like EntAllat, I searched the #ent and #enterprise and came up with the same results. Plus, I'm thinking that using startrek would clarify everything (sorry, I'm having a brain spasm and can't think how I want to say that! :doh )

Anyhoo, that's just my 2 cents worth.

And, thank you, EntAllat and Middleman, for all the hard work you putting into this. :cheering

I have PM ed a draft of the letter to you, ENTAllat. I noticed some typos and grammar fixes needed, but we can do that as we refine the letter. This is just my first draft, so recommendations and rewrites are welcomed, and expected, because I have a firm grasp of the reality that everything I do is NOT perfect first time around!!!! :P
TRIP: Hold on. You never said anything about feet.
T'POL: Is that a problem?
TRIP: Well, for one thing, I haven't had a shower since this morning, and I know how sensitive that Vulcan nose of your can be.And I'm a little ticklish.Maybe more than a little.
