We already have a Karen Traviss thread feel free to use that. If you look far enough back into the thread you will see that Mrs. Traviss used to post here on a regular basis. She left mainly due to the fact that posters couldn't have a civilized discussion. Furthermore whenever the issue comes up, it happens in cycles, at least one person usually end up banned. Please do not take that as a threat but merely a s a warning that when we have tried to go down this road before it has always ended badly.

In the future when you have this type of request please bring it to FF s to not clutter up this thread.

Apologies Broox, generally I follow the rules, but it just seemed topical I guess.

I have a question for Sue as well:

Would LFL ever consider publishing novels to fill the gaps between NJO, DN and LOTF (not necessarily in this contract, but as a future possibility)? And how about expanding on the NR-IMP war when Ackbar clashed with Pellaeon between 14-20 ABY? - we see lots of the Big 3, but not the main war.

Would like to know and have those times filled in aswell.

I would hope to see the big 3 take part in the Ackbar vs.Paelleon war in a future novel if it's written. Also I hope there will be more big 3 novels outside FOTJ set between NJO-DN-LOTF or more set in the classic trilogy era or early NR era. I'm glad were getting LSATSOM. But I hope there will be more big three novels set in the early New Republic era or Classic era.

Yeah... my local bookstores still don't have MF listed in their release schedule for the next 2 months :/

May i ask what the hell is going on with the UK's distribution of MF? Or am i going to have to try and import it?

I emailed Century and they confirmed it is not on their schedules. My theory is that they had a contract to reprint X number of books, and the addition of an extra hardback means Millennium Falcon has fallen off the end. Just a theory mind.

Sue, are there any chances that this Untitled Game Novel is somehow connected with just annonced The Old Republic? Or there is another game in development and now it's secret

Who comes up with the names of the characters that appear in the books/comics/games etc., I would think that all the minor characters are the creations of the authors but what about the main characters children, and other main characters that well be appearing in later works?

If they are all from the author do they have certain guide lines, and what are those guide lines.

I saw the audio version of M. Falcon today and was pleasantly surprised to see 10 hours, 8 discs, unabridged and all that... Haven't bought it yet but I was wondering if the FOTJ series get the same treatment?

Yes, I believe all the future audio programs will be unabridged.

Jeff,
I'll have to look into your questions... I'm not certain, but it may be an error.

was curious if there were any plans to to have the OT novels to be rewritten(or at least edited) to help fit better with the PT novels?

Nope.

s this normal or is Allston usually that quick in turning it in? Do you usually get a manuscript 3-4 months before the release date?

No, this is actually late. Ideally we'd like to get a ms a year before pub date, but that rarely happens. 3-4 months is almost not enough time -- After the manuscript is delivered, and read, edited, rewrites done, etc., it goes into production -- it gets line-edited (someone reads for verb agreement, typos, etc.) then it goes to the typesetter and then off to the printer. All that takes time too.

Do you have a list of top ten that are your favorites?

We don't keep a top ten list here, and I try hard not to pick favorites as it doesn't seem professional to me, in my position.

We consider almost every gap we can find -- it's a matter of what the story would be and who wants to write it....

There is some chance of that, yes. There's also some chance it's connected with some other secret game title.
