Talk:Star Trek: Wineland

"Behind the scenes" content

 * Moved from article page:

Well, in a film, there are actors. In a fan fiction without actually seeing what's going on, there are no real actors, but I gave the names to the crew based on names that actually really exist in another language. I live in Switzerland, as you all know, and I have some good friends I'd like to mention here.

Jane Sanders is the only non Swiss friend and she is a fellow member of Elite Roleplaying (ERP), currently inactive though. She was back some time in late May 2006, but then disappeared again. However, Jane and I have e-mail contact sometimes, and I think she's a great choice for the first officer position. Her real life has nothing to do with the meaning of her character here in the episode, please always keep that in mind. That also goes to all people I'm gonna mention from this line on.

Kathryn Shearer is a classical Swiss name conversion. Her original name is Kathrin Scherrer and she originally lives in the biggest town of Switzerlnd, Zurich. Her and I have become very good friends. I have got to know her first on a hotline phone when she asked me to solve a computer problem. That was about two years ago. Then we kept writing to each other over e-mail, did phone calls sometimes, and once we even met in Zurich. Because we are stil in contact with each other, I decided to convert her name to the chief engineer character.

Alex Hurleyman is another name conversion from a Swiss original name which is Alex Hürlimann. Alex was the partner of my mother for some time and he actually is a great guy. I still go to his wife who is a hairdresser near a small town called Wil (canton of St. Gallen). When he is at home, which unfortunately is not often, we talk a lot about the past and the present. And Alex infact is also a muscular sportive man in real life and his looks is very very similar to the man in the signatur avatar, but that's just a funny co-incidence.

Mike Furian is yet another conversion from the original Michael (Michi) Furian. Actually it's not even a big conversion since I just had to change the first name. The second name is pronounced as written, just in English, not in German of course. Michi and I are great buddies, he's been living in the same village as I do for a long time, and we played a great deal of football and we did a lot of computer and console gaming inside the house. Some of his character is taken over from real life, but his looks is completely different. He is not a black man and his hair is completely different.

Eris and Jhamel are two characters I basically took over from Star Trek. But in Star Trek, they didn't have much character development, so I decided to have their characters getting developped much more and deeper in my story arcs. Both are female and both are cute ... nuff said. ^^

Last, but not least, there is our dear starfleet command man, Admiral Mark Whileman. This is another name conversion, originally he is called Marc Weilenmann and he's a really great guy as well. In the past, Marc and I did a lot of computer gaming, but mostly in his home. His technology was always advanced to mine. Anyway, he was partially responsible for the wonderful success of my 20th birthday party when he did all the film recording with his really cool camera.

A new character will appear from Episode 3 on and in some further occasions. I am talking about Admiral Seleya, a female Vulcan character who will rarely have guest appearances in the beginning or the end of an episode. If she will have an episode with a major character development is yet unknown. More information about Admiral Seleya can be found in her introduction at the FNN forum of Star Trek: Wineland.
