This here is the page of Captain Krenn, stalwart of the Taldren boards and special guest star of this here website! Krenn is held in affection by many – if not all – of the Taldren authors and on reading the short stories below you will find out why. As with all my Guest Authors, Krenn's stories do not take place within the universe that the TeraQuad (my new term for Larry, Jaeih, Ady, and I) operate in.
Most of Krenn's work consists of short (very short!) pieces of humourous prose based on the preconceptions of the various races, differing technologies, and even the people he "talked" to on the Taldren boards and the games rooms they hung out in online. He has, on occasion, branched out into proper stories. These stories are good work, despite his protests to the contrary for his lack in completing some. *hint, hint!*
So, without further ado, here's the man in his own words.
I was playing Starfleet Battles when most of you youngsters were still just a couple of cells organizing in your mother's womb. Starfleet Command came out 20 years later and I rediscovered my love for starship combat.
Trying to decide on a name to use wasn't hard once I decided that those fun-loving bikers of the universe were to be my race of choice.
I really don't fit into the modern Klingon image, I always prefered the TOS Klingons (much to Lara's continuing annoyance). The Novel by Mr. Ford [Andy's Note: The Final Reflection by John M. Ford] stirred my imagination and I couldn't think of a better Klingon name.
I met Jaeih in battle for the first time and was trounced severely, and thus began my life-long hatred of her :) j/k! Put down the sword!
I began writing these stories as it was just for fun and work was slow. Some of them brought good responses from the people I know and admire on the Taldren forums. (For the life of me I still don't know why.)
Anyway I hope you enjoy them.
