Federation Starbase 23 - Scottish Andy's Stories

Scottish Andy's Stories






Hello everyone and welcome to my very own fiction page. Here you will read about the more ordinary crews of the Federation, Romulans and Klingons – they do have them, you know – of whom consist the backbone of the Fleets where the Kirks and Sulus are the star performers. It's been my goal to write stories that don't rely on flashy plot gimicks or impossible feats and events, but still have them entertaining and exciting.

It'll be up to you to decide whether I've succeded or not.

Let me know what you think of them: what was good, what could have been better, and what you didn't like. I may even take requests for storylines or guest characters!

In case you are wondering where this weird point of view came from, or how I come up with my somewhat convoluted ship nomenclature, or basically why I do things the way I do, take a look at my 'Essays & Rants' section. I'll eventually answer your questions in either one way or another, but feel free to request one anyway as that'll prompt me to tidy up something I'll have already detailed for myself and post it.

But enough of my babble, and on with the show!
