No one else can write a Ryan Thomas Riddle story. Only I can.
My voice and signature style came from writing and writing more. And from living life, with all its wonder and heartbreak and failures.
Voice is forged, not forced.

Farewell Walter. One of your Fact Trekkers met Mr. Koenig at a book signing, and he shared his personal email address without hesitation, leading to occasional contact.

#StarTrekTOS "Chekov's Odyssey"

RIP Walter Koenig, author of DC Comics Star Trek #19, October 1985. "Chekov's choice". Chekov incites the crew of the Enterprise to mutiny while the ship is out of control and on a collision course for an asteroid. Stardate 6714.3
Farewell, Walter Koenig.
I'll always remember the answer you gave 10 year old me when I asked, "How did you feel about not being in the cartoon?"
"Pretty horrible that I wouldn't be getting a pay check."
You were the best navigator and telepath heavy in the galaxy.
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
I'm watching the latest LAST WEEK TONIGHT as I work, and John showed a clip of Nick Fuentes, whom I never really seen outside of the occasional pic on socials.
His body language. His demenor. His speech pattern. His overly-sized head. Looks like he should be charging a toll under a bridge.
Just saw on Instagram that Eric Bauza, the Canadian voice of countless Looney Tunes characters, has suddenly passed away.
This one really hurts. He was so lovely and talented, and knowing he came from Toronto — and even meeting him at local events — meant a lot.
RIP.
I just realized I have no idea what WARHAMMER is all about, nor have I particularly been intrigued to find out.
I know it's a game. It's space war or something like that. But that's it.
Riker: We have to find their Worf's back!
Picard: Don't you mean Achille's heel, Number One?
Riker: Nope, Worf's back is his greatest weakness.
Worf: I should've stayed in bed today.
"The Man Trap" aired first because it was the only episode ready for air.
The actual first production episode, "Corbomite Manuever," was stuck in post-production due to all the effects.
WNMHGB was deemed too different to air first... even though they aired it 3rd, which is even more jarring.
*Yes I know they're discussing the actual La Boheme opera, not RENT. But it's still a meta joke because RENT is inspired by La Boheme, while also having a song with that name.
Writing tie-ins is *a real fucking skill* and anyone who sneers at the people who do it can go piss up a rope. You think it's easy to write an entire novel to very specific order on an almost impossibly tight deadline? And have it be satisfying to read? Motherfucker, *you* try it. See how you do.
There is a doofus currently arguing here that no "creative talent" would choose to write tie-ins, and since I just did a panel this weekend on why creative talents choose to write IP, here are a few reasons. Non-financial reasons, for fun and because frankly it usually doesn't pay that well.
