I'd be interested in a copy of Option 2.

Any updates on this?

I'm still working on it, and should have an update in a few weeks. Just had to take a break from new projects for a while to deal with some personal stuff.

This is so slick. A buddy of mine and I were randomly discussing this episode a few days ago and this pops up. I'm going to have to get one. Mark me down.

I should have this ready for the printer in 4-6 weeks. Maybe sooner if I am able to cover the costs of printing before then.

There might be three different versions of the book when I am finally done with it.

The first printing in March/April may be a very basic filler version with the intro pages I already posted, and random content after that. I do have a work-in-progress 25 page 'story' version that repeats those same pages based on the details in the episode and the original script, but I feel that it will need a lot more time and editing before that version is ready.

The full version with a complete and somewhat coherent story will not be ready for quite a while, so I have no idea when that will be ready. Intentionally bad writing might actually be just as hard as good writing.

Sometimes, like with John Wick coins to coincide with the 3rd movie, there is an optimal time to deliver the prop.

But with this going back to the 90's, there's no real time limit for relevance.

I'm good with whenever it's done.

Actually we're going even back to the 80s. This TNG episode was originally released in 1989.

 

[Jintosh]

That's right ! Late 80's.

Yes. Should be ready to go with the prop version VERY soon. I do still need to get back to Roland with some info to complete the cover as well. I had to put it on hold for a while until I had time to give the project my full attention.

 

[Kokanee]

awesomesauce!

I had almost forgotten this, glad to see it's making progress.

Bumping this back up as I am getting ready to order the books from the printing company in November. The initial print run will be the filler version featuring a few custom pages but no detailed story. I will be posting an Etsy link to pre-order very soon.

Thanks for the update DB537 What will be the final price point for this version?

It should be approx. $25 + shipping. The final price may be slightly lower depending on printing/shipping costs.
