Pardon my hijack of the NJOE main page for a little shameless promotion, but hey… after 7 years, I think I’m allowed!

As some of you are likely aware, I have quite the interest in Trek/Wars crossover stories and I’m pleased to announce the release of my newest foray into this genre. “The Crossing” is a little (well, not so little) series that takes elements of Star Trek: Voyager and crosses them with the YUUZHAN VONG and tosses in some JEDI just for fun… all in a universe/time frame very similar to our own.

Yesterday we released our very first episode, the first of a two-part replacement finale for the Star Trek: Voyager television show. Now, you read this and might wonder where all the Star Wars elements are, and you just need to trust me that they’re coming (and if you visit the forum thread you might just find some rough drafts that include them). We just have to move through a little setup first. And for you “purists,” I say just give it a shot - you DO NOT need to know Trek to read and enjoy this story and it’s all essential background to setup the onslaught of the Yuuzhan Vong.

You can read our first episode here in PDF form. If you like, please share with your friends. (Drop them the direct link to the file, post it on message boards, etc - always link to our file rather than e-mailing it our or rehosting it so that we can get an accurate count on readership!) If you’re interested, we’re looking for writers, artists, and a continuity manager for the series. You can find more information on those positions AND lots more background on the series by visiting our thread in the Fan Creations forum.
