Greetings, all. I'm Larry Stovall and I obsessively write Star Trek fan fiction. Below are the stories that Andy has graciously offered to host on his site; I have to say that being included is quite an honor.
Most of the tales presented here were written for the Star Fleet Command II Fan Fiction Forum. The lion's share of my stories revolve around the group of Klingons that form the command crew of the IKV Hiv'laposh. My goal with these stories has been to create the kind of 'Horatio Hornblower in space' atmosphere that The Original Series did so well, just from the other side. I also wish to present my own interpretations and insights in regards to one of sci-fi's greatest antagonist groups. Writing Klingon 'heroes' has proven to be a challenge, especially since these tales are set in the 2270's, when relations between Federation and Empire have yet to thaw. I've found accepting the challenge to be quite rewarding and I hope that any readers enjoy what they find here.
I should probably mention here that, while Jaeih's and Andy's technical theories and timelines are an amazing collection of work, the details present in my stories may differ in small ways. Jaeih has honored me by including my stories in her exhaustive timeline, but sometimes our universes don't meld perfectly even when we're writing about each other's characters. Fortunately, we all agree that creative freedom is paramount, so just label any odd discrepancy as a 'Berman Inconsistency'.
Enough rambling (for now anyway). The good stuff is listed below, though try to forgive some very rough proof-reading on the earlier tales. Andy edits 'em a bit before he puts them up. (He put 'u's in favor and honor! That's just wrong!) Enjoy!
