What is Star Trek: Excalibur?

Star Trek: Excalibur is an upcoming fanfiction project set in the universe of Star Trek. In-universe, our story begins in the year 2273, roughly one year after the events depicted in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Based on many years of casual notes and planning, Excalibur has been something I've been wanting to do since I was a nerdy teenager in the early 2000's. Now that I'm rapidly approaching middle age, I've gotten over myself and have finally decided to cross this one particular thing off my bucket list. Join me on this adventure to put out mediocre, self-indulgent, airport-quality, character-driven fanfiction.

So... why?

When is the content coming?

The first episode is well underway. My goal is to make each episode novella-length, similar in scope to some of the old eBook-exclusive series like Star Trek: Corps of Engineers. I hope to have something posted by the end of this year (2025).
Beyond the actual important part (writing the fic), I want the website to be in a functional state before I deploy anything. Thankfully that part can occupy me during the times when the creative juice reserves are refilling in between writing sessions.

Do you have a mailing list or anything for updates?

Nope, not yet, but something is definitely planned -- either a mailing list, Bluesky account, or something similar.

Will you be using AI tools in the creation of Excalibur?

This is a creative endeavor, and I strongly believe that generative AI has no place in the creative process. Star Trek: Excalibur is and will always be AI-free, human-created content.
