Hi everyone,
Nina and I are pleased to announce our next story, "What Would Dad Say? - Episode 2 of STARMAN - The Next Generation" is now posted. Like our previous one, we consider this a 25th Anniversary STARMAN Fan Fiction, this time commemorating the founding of SSI on May 22, 1987. You can see I'm big on history! It's set in the immediate aftermath of Scott becoming a first time dad of the 10 year old boy described in TNG, but can certainly be enjoyed without having read the original story. Here, Scott learns the joys and tribulations of instant fatherhood, while searching for larger quarters somewhere near his parents in Baraboo, Wisconsin to replace his cramped bachelor pad in Madison. As he tries to teach STARMAN family values to Scotty, he finds himself often asking himself, "What would Dad say?" While hiking around Devil's Lake near Baraboo, Paul and Scott discuss parenting and Scott's feelings for Julie. Scott's parental skills are put to the test when Scotty experiences his first crisis in dealing with real life, and Scott has to come up with an answer to a pivotal question his son raises. 11,126 words. http://archiveofourown.org/works/438838
