Sulu Novel Campaign Unsuccessful
By ChristianMay 8, 2000 - 11:03 PM
Over at Simon & Schuster's Star Trek Books Board, John Ordover just posted the following message:
That puts us at 820. I think we're coming to the end, folks.
[...]
There's a lot to be proud of and be
surprised by. The count was much
higher than I thought it would be, and I
don't think -anyone- predicted that we'd
get more letters than the Excelsior
campaign got rally participants.:)
But the bottom line is that we simply
didn't get enough response to this
challenge to justify publishing a
Captain Sulu novel, even assuming the
most favorable possible multipliers.
Just to be clear, let me say once again
that this doesn't mean we'll never see
Captain Sulu show up as part of an
ensemble-cast story. We will. But a
stand-alone Captain Sulu novel is
just not in the cards right now.
My thanks to everyone who sent in a
letter.
John
Got six Sulu letters today, but only two count, since the others were mailed past the May 1st deadline.
Psi Phi still has its novel progress report page, showing exactly how many letters were received over the course of the campaign.
