Author's Comments
This story was written a couple of years after Please Hold For Oblivion and was originally supposed to be a one-shot. I had the idea and just couldn't let it go. Soon after I completed it, I had more ideas and ended up developing the Lost Years.
"It's Good To Be King" was 2nd place in the Best Humor/Parody category in the 2000 Alt.StarTrek.Creative awards.
