I noticed that Fabrux had written a short story called "Star Trek: Dark Horizon". He gave no hint in his title that this was a short story. I feel that someone writes a short story and posts on the web, he or she should alert others in the title that this a story.

I'm not quite sure what you're driving at, but you can name threads whatever you like. This is entirely different than putting spoilers in the title of a thread.

So? Fabrux created something that he wanted to share with us. He can name his threads anything he wants to. I don't see a problem here.

I think the issue here is that the title is reminiscent of a recent Voyager ep, and therefore might be avoided by people not wanting to be spoiled?

Well, that's one way to end this thread.

I think he means that people who would like reading these 'stories' would miss out cause they might think they are stories...
can't we have
Speculation here people:
'The Dominion' - WYLB $$$$
'The Ferengi' - FLS $$
'Artuis' - HAF $$$
etc.
then for other stuff its easy...
ST: Dark Horizon - fanfic
i.e. noncommital titles - that inform but DON'T spoil.
or creative titles like -
"Give me your undergarments and I will dance" - $$$$ WYLB

I rather thought he meant that he thought Star Trek: Dark Horizons might be a possible new series, and was disappointed when it turned out to be "only" a fanfic story.
I agree, though, that adding "fanfic" to a thread title might help. It's only six little letters..

Is his use of the words "Dark Horzion" a problem? So what if there was an episode called "Dark Frontier?" Ther've been lots of those re-using of book titles for episodes and vice-versa. Like DS9's The Siege.
