Sorry; I missed this whole thread. I thought lj would automatically cc me on yours and Frog's comments, but no.
You're suprised we got this one? It was the easy one! I know Star Trek: TOS even better than I know hp canon and fanon, to be honest. But I drifted away from that fandom about 20 years ago.
Myself, I guess I bought, oh, the first 70 or so ST books before I gave up on them, as the quality did decline. Some amazing h/c however, since Vulcans and Romulans can take a lot of punishment and come back for more. And the homoerotic subtexts (even in the "official" Paramount stuff) just killed me, at the time.
Yes, "How Much for Just the Planet" was very different. Sort of a clever slapstick atmosphere. But "The Final Reflection" had a much greater impact on me. To this day, I could summarize every scene for you in some detail.
You made up a fictional universe based on this? Man, you had one of the coolest set of friends I've ever heard of.
