Pattern of Infinity By J. Kel
This is without a doubt my all-time favourite B7 PGP story.
The level of background detail, the obvious time, effort and thought that went into this along with how the characters are personified makes the story come to life. It is truly an amazing story, one which any B7 fan could relate to. Finally, the good/bad points of the story, novel actually, make it almost as if it where an original episode.
If you like a good B7 story, and haven't read this, you're missing out!
Here is an introduction from the author:
This was my first attempt at building an imagined world and indebted asI was to all the people who had contributed to B7, I wanted to bring to itmyself as much as I could. It was quite an experience. Looking back on the11+ years I spent doing the stories, it astonishes me that I spent so muchtime and effort on the them. Episodes 1 through 8 each took 3 months toresearch and 3 months to write. Finishing the series properly (my versionin any event) must have meant more to me than I realized in '88. And thatis good. I am working on a novel now (to be completed at the end of theyear) and I am happy to say everything I am writing has been impacted andinfluenced by my B7 adventure!
Just as an aside, here is my own assessment of the stories: the oddnumbered ones were the most difficult to write; the even numbered ones weremy favorites. I certainly didn't plan it like that -- it just turned outthat way.
