Create your own dámņëd characters and universe and do whatever the hëll you want. ![]() You want to make fan films about space adventures but you don’t like the Paramount decrees? Fine. The fact that they loosened up to the degree that they have should be something fan filmmakers should feel dámņëd grateful for. At one convention I attended, Paramount lawyers actually came into the dealer’s room and confiscated peoples’ fanzines from right off their tables. It was copyright infringement, plain and simple, and not to be allowed. When I was producing a “Star Trek” fanzine back in the 1970s, Paramount issued a decree: No one could write “Star Trek” fanfic. So thanks mostly to the efforts of the “Axanar” people, the guys who raised a million bucks to produce a “Star Trek” based film which resulted in a lawsuit, Paramount has now issued specific guidelines for anyone who wants to make a Trek fan film.
