Hartwell approved the outline, and Kagan reached out to family members and friends for more information on the series such as tapes and books and wanted to know what they had never seen in Star Trek but wanted to. She was keen to have the characters sound like a real proposal for a Star Trek episode. Kagan did remember Nichols in a NASA promotional film, and desired to "give Uhura the plum role she deserved". She had committed to provide a ten-page outline plus a thirty-page sample to Hartwell within a week, and whilst watching the recorded episodes, she realised that Uhura hadn't been featured prominently and that Nichelle Nichols had never been given any memorable lines. She researched the series, and due to it being shown in broadcast syndication, she was able to record late-night re-runs using her videocassette recorder. ( Hellspark was ultimately released in 1988 by Tor Books, to which Hartwell had moved on in the meantime.) At the time she hadn't seen an episode of the show for some seventeen years. Hartwell, to whom she had submitted her novel Hellspark in his capacity as editor of Pocket Books' original-SF line Timescape though Hartwell liked the novel, Timescape did not accept novels from previously-unpublished authors – but the Star Trek line did, and Hartwell suggested it as an avenue for qualifying as a published author. She was invited to submit a proposal for a Star Trek novel by David G.
