Worst Tie-In Novels Ever

May 03, 2006 22:53

I'm making this post public because I want as much input as possible.

I have convinced myself (with a little encouragement from grey_bard) to run an unofficial reading party at this year's Dragon*Con (probably on the Marriott's tenth floor) celebrating the worst media tie-in novels ever written. I already know that I want to treat you all to some dramatic ( Read more... )

buffy & angel, conventions, babylon 5, star trek, general fandom

Apparently, it exists, and is called "Queen of the Slayers". You heard it here first.

Did I mention the half-vampire miracle baby is the child of Angel *and* Spike as well as Buffy?

That so wins! You're right - we definitely need to acquire this one.

Oh I have GOT to read that one!

Moselle Green suggests the Star Trek tie-in "Triangle" by Sondra Marshak. Spock and Kirk in a love triangle with Secret Agent Mary Sue! With added ponn farr!

And I found a copy at my used bookstore for $.65! Rock! Needless to say, I bought this work of deathless prose.

Planet X is a legit published cross-over novel by an actual legit author...

...that crosses Star Trek: The Next Generation with X-Men.

O.O

Hey now, that was a GOOD novel! That was like the only time MJF wrote Q well!

I read Planet X and it was acutally good.

I can't really match a miraculous half-vampire baby, but I can give you my pick for the worst Star Wars tie-in ever. I used to review all the SW books that came out (under the name Toryn Farr) until I got fed up with the unrelenting horror that is the New Jedi Order, but the Boba Fett duology by Jeter is far and away the most execrable writing I have experienced in that fandom.

The Fascape Tie-Ins are legendary for thier level of Bad. House of Cards was the only one that was any good - the other two? *shudders* Moya being powered by coal! Pilot in John's quarters! More horrid characterisations than you can shake a stick at!
