At the same time, the IRC gamers and other talkative groups are meeting on simegen.com.
Eliza Leahy helped webmasters move more than twenty-five overstuffed Sime~Gen websites into their new, capacious home on simegen.com.
Cheryl Wolverton, the widely popular professional Romance Writer, had her very first attempt at a story published in Ambrov Zeor many years ago.
Marge Robbins, another writer who started with Ambrov Zeor many years ago, then created a Sime~Gen ’zine of her own, and many years later made me my very first “home page” on the web, then became Webmaster for the simegen.com domain for several years before Patric Michael took over.
So come on over and read the Sime~Gen Novels posted on simegen.com/sgfandom/
Non-Sime~Gen titles by Jacqueline Lichtenberg or by Jean Lorrah are also available in various formats on Amazon, fictionwise.com in paper and e-book. Among those are my vampire romance novels, Those of My Blood and Dreamspy. which were published in hardcover, and are available also in trade paperback. Watch for the e-book editions in all your favorite formats.
And if you are intrigued by the underlying Star Trek connection, check out the New York Times Book Reviews under our names or book titles, and pay particular attention to the article “Spock Among The Women” by Camille Bacon-Smith in the November 16, 1986 New York Times Book Review (front page, too). The article features my Star Trek fanzine series, Kraith, and Jean Lorrah’s Star Trek fanzine series, Night of the Twin Moons—which eventually led her to writing a number of New York Times Best Selling Star Trek Novels.
“Spock Among The Women” explains the kind of participatory fiction “story-tree” that Sime~Gen has become in less academic language than Bacon-Smith’s widely acclaimed book, Enterprising Women, Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth. This article might help dispel your confusion about a series that isn’t a series written by so many people, yet forming a coherent whole.
