Syn Ferguson

Syn Ferguson has died. This news took me by surprise, even though I hadn't corresponded with her for many, many years. I remember reading "Courts of Honor" in typescript, long before it was available on the Internet. From a 2017 viewpoint, it's hard to believe how much controversy that zine generated, but it certainly gave me the impetus to write my own version of the Romulan Commander.

Syn's stories had a great influence on Trek fans in the 1980s and 1990s, and I am sorry to hear of her death.
