Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Do not be fooled by the title, I am wondering if all you Star Trek fanfiction writers on here could give me and everyone else a few good tips on writing a masterpiece of Star Trek magic, tips for plot creation, characters, ships and so on, hope anyone can help.
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Well, Characters are a semi-ongoing process.
For example, there are archetypes in the Trek universe that can be toyed with.
In my own fan comic I'm making, there's a Klingon serving aboard 'my' ship.
When I came up with his character, he was a security officer- naturally.
As time went on, I realized I'd love to see a Klingon in a different station.
So eventually he became a pilot, and chief conn officer.
Captain: "Can you pull off this maneuver?"
K'rux: "If not I will die a warrior's death!"
Captain: "Lets avoid the dying part for now, yeah?"
I'm not sure how helpful that is. But I'm getting at two things.
One, it's a process. Nobody strikes gold with a character right away.
Even the best characters in Star Trek evolved over time.
Secondly, a function can define a character. A Klingon pilot.
An Andorian chief of security. These stations can tell you something about the character. And it'll give you a canvas to fill in as the story goes on.
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
That's a big help, at the minute i am working on my team using crew also from my STO account from a while back, it will be a big help.
Any more tips on anything else is welcome
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
If I think of any, I'll definitely let you know!
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Don't do a Voyager.
Essentially, don't rely on overly-complicated technobabble (unless of course you're writing about an SCE team). Don't resort to fighting to get out of every situation, yes it's dramatic and exciting to write/read, but there are other ways to get that into your work. Keep track of the little things--torpedoes, shuttles, crewmembers.
Don't just have a character for the sake of having one, for example if you don't have an interesting person to be Ops Manager then don't have them as a main character but just someone recurring, that way you can give proper development to those who are more interesting/diverse to work on. Those characters that you do focus on, be sure to have them continue to grow and develop rather than stagnate--however, if they're not working for whatever reason, be willing to let them go (or even a well-liked character as well if the story calls for it).
Don't have the status quo resorted by the beginning of your next story, to all intents and purposes, these men, women and others are "real", they will change over time and experiences.
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Do your research. But, that having been said, don't allow canon to handcuff you. Just because we never saw McCoy play squash doesn't mean he never has. At the same time, don't turn characters flawless. People aren't, so characters shouldn't be. They should fail. They should forget. They should sometimes be mean, or arbitrary, or impatient.
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Avoid characters that are related somehow to an established on-screen/treklit character unless we've already heard of them.
Don't have the characters quoting themselves from episodes and movies.
Avoid matching up a character's ethnicity to the name of the ship he/she commands (i.e. having Chekov command USS Potemkin just because it has a russian name).
Keep hybrid characters to a minimum. Vulcan/humans, bajoran/cardassians, Borg/Magnavox, whatever. These types of folk should be rare.
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
That ones a good point, the only hybrid on my crew is a Vulcan/klingon
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Have a Human/Vulcan individual, not a Human/Vulcan/Klingon/Bolian--after a point it just gets ridiculous. If you want a blue-skinned, lumpy foreheaded, pointy eared character, then create a new race to fit the bill.
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Also, the character setups from the Trek shows are designed for long running TV shows. They have a Klingon there for the potential of future stories, for example, and they didn't use him for quite a while. The whole setup Captain, First Officer, Navigation, Ops, Tactical, Chief Engineer, Counselor is based on that.
If you don't want to write a season full of stories, I think you should be asking yourself "Why do I want a half Vulcan/half Klingon in here?" What is the purpose of that character in the story? Basically, ask that for all your characters and you should come up with something that doesn't feel like it's been copied from a blueprint. If you want a crew full of aliens and hybrids, what are you going to do with them?
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Everyone has different tastes, obviously, so it's a little difficult to create a list of hard-and-fast rules beyond the basic rules of storytelling that apply to all genres. That being said:
I'm sure you know the drill. Characters should speak and act like believable people. (I find it helpful to say the dialog back to myself to be sure it sounds like something that would come from the mouth of an actual person) Be consistent: don't introduce a super-powerful alien creature like Q then have him defeated in a fistfight. Make sure your story gives your characters some kind of obstacle to overcome or problem to grapple with--don't just have them standing around and talking. This is especially true if your story is populated entirely by characters you created yourself. It may be enjoyable to see Kirk and Spock shooting the breeze, provided it's written well, because those are characters we have a preexisting affection for. Nobody will care about Captain Quigley and Mr. Kl'plorth unless you give them something interesting and exciting to do.
Apart from that, here are a few other things that I find helpful:
Use the vastness of space to your advantage
Space is big, and the things in it are really really really really really REALLY far apart. Use this to your advantage. If you're writing a story about a starship on an exploratory mission, they'd realistically be too far away for the Captain to call Starfleet Command and request instructions when he gets into a sticky situation. This way, the tough dramatic choices are forced upon your Captain, not delegated to some Admiral on a viewscreen.
Place realistic limits on sensing devices
The idea that a character can look at his magic sensor display or tricorder and learn everything about a situation, down to the DNA of the aliens aboard an approaching ship that's thousands of miles away, has robbed many a Star Trek story of the mystery and danger of space exploration from which the franchise theoretically derives much of its appeal. Don't let this happen to you. So what if it happened on Enterprise or Voyager? Don't let yourself be bound by other people's lazy writing choices. And don't feel obliged to "explain" via technobabble infodump why your ship's sensors can't instantly tell what color underwear the people on an approaching vessel are wearing. Figure out the parameters in your head and then simply have the story abide by them without overexplaining.
Avoid alien stereotypes and monocultures
The only country on Earth where everyone dresses, acts, and speaks alike is North Korea. So unless you're writing about an alien planet that's a similar kind of dystopic totalitarian hellhole don't make everyone on it act, speak, think, and dress alike. And keep the same thing in mind when writing about established Star Trek races. All Klingons are not war-obsessed Space Vikings; they can't be, or there'd be nobody to design starships, build buildings, or fix the plumbing. All Romulans are not sneaky humorless guys with soup-bowl haircuts. Again there is no reason for your to abide by the lazy writing choices that other people have made.
Canon? Schmanon!
For understandable reasons, anyone who writes an officially-licensed Star Trek novel or comic has to abide by the Offical Canon Policy. But you're writing a fanfic, which means you can do whatever the heck you want. The important thing is to stay true to the spirit of Star Trek and the essence of the preexisting characters, organizations, and alien races that make up the Star Trek universe. If Douchey McNitpick wants to point out your story's "canon violations" don't let it bother you. If you're writing good stuff, people will enjoy it.
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
You could also do background bio's for your characters.
Where they came from
Service history
Key events
But keep adding to the bios as you use the characters. During my PBEM days I created plenty of characters and the bios evolved as the character did. And yes some of them had flaws and issues in part due to events that happened to them. In many respects is was more fun to write for those characters than the ones with fewer issues and flaws.
I would also agree with hybrid characters keeping to a minimum of two (mother and father), with one provision. If you must have a character with a multi-species i.e 4 generations ago they had a vulcan ancestor then make sure it's for a reason for mentioning it or raising it in story and not just for the sake of it.
As for plot, keep technobabble to a minimum.
Re: Tips for writing a great Star Trek fanfiction story or series.
Honestly, what's the point of hybrid characters? The only good reason to have one is to hold a mirror up to the human condition in some way.
Spock's Vulcan-human mixture highlighted the internal struggle that most, if not all, people face at some point in their lives. But you can't really do that kind of "torn between two halves" thing anymore because it forces you to ignorantly assume that all races EXCEPT humans have built-in, predetermined personality traits. It's not okay to assume that all Asians are computer nerds or all African-Americans are rappers, so why would it be okay to assume that all Klingons are warriors or all Ferengi are greedy? It's not believable
Ziyal's hybrid nature nicely illustrated the condition of people whose parents belong to two different national or ethnic groups that do not get along. Ziyal was never "torn between two halves". She was a whole person-Ziyal-who at times found herself torn between two cultures without fitting into either of them. This is a dilemma faced by many folks here in modern society, so it resonates. In my opinion, this is the only way you can pull off a hybrid character believably now.
But 99.9% of the time, especially in fanfic, the only point in having a "hybrid" character is just to be all fanwanky. Your helm officer is a Klingon-Bolian hybrid? What does that even mean? Either it doesn't figure into the plot at all, or the author does that "character torn between two halves" thing that the Original Series already did, only they do it way worse.
Also, a profusion of hybrid characters makes a story veer too close to comic book science, in my opinion. If two mammals from Earth-say, a horse and a moose-can't interbreed, why the heck would two people from completely different planets be able to interbreed easily? On the 1975 album "Inside Star Trek", there's an "interview" between Gene Roddenberry and Mark Lenard as Sarek where it's revealed that it took a whole lot of medical intervention for Spock to come into being. Such hybrid births, therefore, should be exceedingly rare and not possible in all cases.
Again, just my two cents.

In C++11 what happens if matches of a regex have intersections with each other? For example, if the source string is
"ababa" and the regex is
"aba", first if I iterate on matches of the regex in string, are there two matches or only one? And next, if I replace all instances of
"aba" with
"C" using regex_replace, what will be the final result?
I cannot test that because I don't have access to a compiler that supports regex yet.

Thanks boss, I even did a little homage to this site and Dean of course in theme 18...

Hi!! Great themes so far! I've tried all! It would be great if you make one dark, dedicated to the Silent hill Series, with Pyramid Head obviously!!
awesome job condorstrike, my new theme is gonna be Onyx, thanks a lot keep up the good work.
I'm actually thinking of making xmb themes... but I'm not sure if to hold-off, since I don't know if custom firmwares are going to replace the xmb or just incorporate into it... most probably the latter.
either way I'm still going to make multiMan themes, but want to do more...
any suggestions?
did you figure out the icon problem yet?
not yet, but it should be fixed with dean's next release... and if he implements the xml to install themes, then that should also take care of the problem, can't wait... hopefully by tomorrow...
well, Dean released his new 01.12.00 version and now the icon should be fixed...
confirmed, it works... after you install the new theme and go in/out of multiMan, the new Icon will be changed, thanks Dean.
When I rename my MP3 file from PC it shows as .BIN.MP3 instead of just .BIN file. Do I need to convert it to .BIN first or will .BIN.MP3 format still work from the directory? Thanks!
no you need check the show extensions for known file types box in the view properties dialog box within explorer, then you can delete the .mp3 and replace it as .bin

Why didn't I think of that. Been through that before on PC. Thanks for the reminder.
ok guys, here's an new theme. Condorstrike 21: Star-Trek 2k9. and as always thanks Dean and Ps3news.
If you like it, please say so... and sorry for the crappy camera pics.

First off I want to extend a big heartfelt Thank You to all the teachers out there who devote so much time and energy to teach our kids whether it is academics ,music, sports or clubs. You are appreciated very much, if not by the kids all the times, by us the parents.
It was a sold out crowd for the first-ever celebration of bacon in Duluth.
Most people will admit that they have a few butterflies on their wedding day, hoping they don't faint, trip, or say the wrong thing, not these two....confident as can be.
I am so out of my element talking about something like a Comic Convention, but I did have a little insight from 2 of my co-workers who were going to go and are huge Sci- Fi fans.
The internet can be described as many things, but sometimes this very powerful medium can do good things as well. Like bringing two strangers together to save a life.
Every parent hopes that their children get a good education, and If that child chooses to pursue more schooling after High School, we all know that comes with a big price tag.
Jessica Hickey had lost her mom more than twenty years ago, and ever since she got married her dad has been bugging her about when they are going to have kids?
If by some chance you have no idea what I am talking about, then gather around kids because a new tradition/celebration is about to hit the Twin Ports and you will want to be a part of it.

Am I wrong, or is that a Danish asking for Putin to enjoy him for dessert?
'Never Forget' has a fairly well-established meaning. A large group of people intone 'Never Forget' one day every year (different days in different places: 27 Jan, 27 Nissan, etc).
Which makes 'Never Forget' as a rallying cry in favour of those Ukrainians from the formerly Austrian bits taking total control of the Ukraine a bit incongruous, since some of those from the formerly Austrian bits strongly support the staunch anti-Communist who died on 20 April '45 and who was responsible for causing the world to have the day of 'Never Forget'.
Added to which, the Hammer and Sickle were from a time when all religion was banned in the CCCP, and Putin never misses an Orthodox Church service. Under Putin, all the Orthodox churches are being fully restored to where they were BEFORE the hammer, sickle, and CCCP. If one wishes to give Putin a relevant tattoo, it should be
Thank you for some truth, Michael.
"Very similar to the Prussian double eagle. The Russians probably stole the idea from the Germans, which is pretty much the entire history of Russian ideas before 1917 beginning with Peter I"
The double-headed eagle was used by several European monarchies. It still appears on the Albanian flag. As for the notion that Russia "borrowed" from German culture for most of it's history, you obviously haven't looked at Russian history, religion, architecture, or language.
You do have one thing partially right. The Russian people don't have a very long or good history of thinking for themselves. Putin is doing what the Soviets and the Tzars did before him.
I think you're being too literal here. Just because he goes to church doesn't mean he's not of the mind as the hammer-and-sickle set in other areas.
How is retaking the Russian port in Crimea like eating a quarter of the world?
We appear to be in the non-hysterical minority.

DECATUR — The Norcross boys basketball team recorded an impressive first-round victory in the Converse Invitational, defeating Mississippi's second-ranked team late Wednesday night at Columbia.
The Blue Devils (6-4) downed Meridian 59-44 to advance to today's quarterfinals of the 16-team tournament, where they will face defending Florida Class AAAAAA state champion Miami Norland in the final game of the evening.
Norland defeated Tucker 55-46 in its quarterfinal game Wednesday night.
Meridian (13-3) won a Mississippi Class AAAAAA state title in 2011, the same year that Norcross won a state championship in the largest classification in Georgia.
Norcross led 27-24 at halftime and increased the lead to 43-33 going into the fourth quarter.

Sheriff warns of distraction schemes
By TBN WEB STAFF
Article published on
Wednesday, May 14, 2014
Detectives assigned to the Pinellas County Sheriffs Burglary and Pawn Unit are currently investigating a distraction scheme by a group of individuals targeting elderly residents in Pinellas County.
The suspects approach residents in their homes, request access to the backyard and as one person is distracting the homeowner, other suspects enter the residence and steal their jewelry and cash.
Four incidents have been reported to the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office since January 2014. All occurred in South Pinellas County in areas south of State Road 60.
According to investigators, the suspects approach residents in their homes and tell them they are there to inspect a water leak, to check property lines or to trim trees in the backyard. While they are distracting the homeowner, two to three other suspects enter the residence and steal items, such as jewelry and cash. During the schemes, the victims were distracted for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Six suspects have been reported as taking part in the schemes. One is a Hispanic male in his 40s with a medium build, clean-shaven round face and dark short hair. A second is a black male, 30 to 40 years old with a thin build and full trimmed beard.
Three are white males. One is about 25 to 40 years old with a heavy build and short dirty blonde hair. The second is about age 25, 5 foot 10 inches tall with a slim build, short black hair, brown eyes and scruffy facial hair. A third is about age 50 with a heavy build. Deputies had no description of the female.
During the schemes the suspects used various vehicles, including a dark brown, Ford F150 crew cab with a dark brown topper; small black pickup truck; white pickup truck, two-door, possibly ten years old in decent condition with tree branch debris in the bed; newer white full-size pickup; and a small white car with the trunk open.
If you have been a victim of this crime or have any information on these thefts, call Detective Creaser of the Burglary & Pawn Unit at 727-582-6200.

This paper describes the design of a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for a low-power, short-distance, high-density fiber-optic interconnect communication system. The single-ended circuit has been designed in an 80-nm digital CMOS process and consumes only 2.2 mW from a 1-V supply. The measured results show a transimpedance gain of 52 dBΩ and a large bandwidth of 20 GHz. This work presents the highest bandwidth at the lowest power consumption for CMOS transimpedance amplifiers reported to date.

Southridge explores STEM Camp
11 Southridge HS students were invited to attend STEM Exploration Camp in July. Students were selected based on recommendations from their advanced math and science teachers. They spent 4 days visiting three different technical work sites to meet professions in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields and to participate in hands-on activities to explore STEM careers.
The first day was spent with Kadlec Hospital. Students attended a presentation on health care careers. Students were surprised how many different career paths are open to them; besides the standard of doctor and nurse, there are specialties and a wide variety of support staff. They broke into groups and toured the Hospital and Columbia Basin College's Richland Health Science Center. Students enjoyed trying out the practice robotic surgery machine. Then Occupational Therapist Dawn Niccum and Physical Therapist Ashley Manry spoke to the students about their professions and demonstrated some techniques and exercises. Students were surprised by how difficult small exercises used by the physical therapist were. After a break for lunch, Students received two wonderful hands-on presentations from Respiratory Therapist Edna Felix and Audiologist Dr.Curtis Woolf. It was amazing how small and ingenious hearing aids are and how audiologists can help people hear.
The second day was at Irrigation Agriculture Research and Extension Center (IAREC) in Prosser. IAREC runs the State AgWeather Net System which consists of 166 weather stations across the state and growing. The weather stations update every 15 minutes. The information from the stations is available online at http://weather.wsu.edu/awn.php. The students learned about each part of the weather station. Then they toured IAREC and observed a working weather station.
IAREC consist of a group of scientist and research who run the system and do research using the information from the weather stations to benefit agricultural growers and wineries. The students talked with the professors and graduate students about their research. Then students came up with and researched their own research question use the weather station data.
The third day students visited LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory in Hanford. LIGO is a joint research facility supported by MIT and CalTech that as LIGO states "seeks to detect gravitational waves -- ripples in the fabric of spacetime. First predicted by Einstein in his theory of general relativity, gravitational waves are produced by exotic events involving black holes, neutron stars and objects perhaps not yet discovered."
Students toured the facility and got to watch controllers in the control room. Students were matched with an employee and shadowed the employee, which many said was the highlight of the day. After lunch, the students tried to model a Laser Interferometer, a very difficult task, but several group achieve the patterned waves of light indicating success.
The fourth day students invited their parents to attend a dinner and discussion with their student of what students have done during the camp. Parents enjoyed touring LIGO and learning about what their student has been up to. Parents were very enthusiastic about the experience and the opportunity of their student to be exposed to these STEM facilities.

Amazing nachos! Service a little slow but overall a great experience.
Not the best hotel I've stayed in. On busy road, room smells, traffic at night is obnoxious & air conditioner from our own room & others run all night. No sleep. Breakfast not great. Don't recommend.
If there's a line for drive-thru, go somewhere else. They always screw up your order.
Mac 'n cheese pizza is the way to go.
First time eating here! Food was fantastic. Definitely going back for dinner.
Popcorn shrimp tastes like plastic. Would definitely not recommend this place.
Get ready for a good laugh! :)
Pam is the best. She's always able to get me in on short notice.
Get the bbq pulled pork sandwich. Also share the basket of fries. Yum.

Dump the food pyramid that the American Dietetics Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Cancer Society all implore you to follow for the sake of your health. Take antioxidant supplements (but skip most of the foods that naturally contain these nutrients). Eat a high-protein diet that has received the thumbs-down from major medical and nutrition experts and associations and has been deemed especially dangerous for women, as it depletes the body's calcium stores. If you believe that Dr. Atkins somehow knows better than all those experts and organizations, here's his latest--a plan to defy aging through eating a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, taking lots of supplements, optimizing your hormones, detoxifying your body through chelation therapy, exercising, and taking brain-boosters like ginkgo biloba. Free radicals, insulin resistance, sugar--these are the reasons we age, get sick, and get fat, insists Atkins, not dietary fat. Eggs are good for you. The cholesterol you eat does not affect the cholesterol in your blood, he says. He scoffs at "the unholy alliance among the American Heart Association, American Medical Association, American Diabetes Association, and U.S. government in its many manifestations (FDA, Department of Agriculture, NIH, et al.)." One wonders why Atkins thinks all these medical organizations would band together to promote an unhealthy diet and not herald Atkins as a genius if, indeed, he had the answer. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
The author of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution argues here that the use of supplements and a change in diet can eliminate many health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and stroke. Most diets focus on reducing the consumption of fat rather than cutting back on sugar; according to Atkins, people should reconsider their intake of both. Along with an explanation of how the body processes chemicals, Atkins examines the negative impact of carbohydrates, explaining that their refining "is in reality the greatest unacknowledged cause of death in world history." He discusses the equally damaging impact of free radicals and offers advice on which supplements everyone should be taking, including Vitamin C, Vitamin E and lipoic acid, among others. The actual diet portion of the book is only about 70 pages and does not include a meal-by-meal plan or caloric charts, omissions serious dieters will notice. Instead, Atkins continues to promote the two key principles--everyone, regardless of their weight, must reduce the amount of carbohydrates they consume, and everyone should also eat a variety of antioxidants, primarily from vegetables, fruits and supplements. Atkins's philosophy on taking supplements and eating a range of foods is sound, though other physicians may well question the doses he recommends. Author tour.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Casa Gonzalez Mexico City
A hotel for experienced travellers
We stayed in the Casa Gonzalez in February 2004 and found it a perfectly delightful small hotel, among the very best we've stayed in during a lifetime of travelling. It may not be for people who like the anonymous opulence of the big international hotels but we were charmed, first by the hospitality of Jorge Ortiz Moore and his staff, and secondly by our fellow travellers, an intrepid and interesting group of people whom we got to know over the delicious breakfasts served at communal tables. It may take a while for the water to heat in the older rooms (not in the newer ones) but the courtyard and gardens and kindness of the staff make up for such trivial inconveniences. English is spoken fluently but so is French and Italian. Casa Gonzalez will always be our first choice in Mexico City.
Carroll Klein
Hospitality is Second to None!
I stayed here, along with several other architecture students from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and the hospitality at Casa Gonzalez was supurb! It felt as though I were a member of the family, especially with the friendly staff and Jorge. Even when I needed help in finding prescription medication for my asthma, Jorge went and purchased my medication for me! I have to say, this was the most hospitable group of individuals I have had the joy of meeting. I will hopefully stay again soon!
Perfect Home Base for sightseeing in D.F.
I have stayed at the Casa Gonzalez twice; once alone, once with students I brought with me. Before heading off to San Miguel de Allende for a month of language studying, the Casa Gonzalez offered us an excellent home base for three days of sightseeing Mexico City's many historic tourist attractions. In one direction, it's an easy walk to Chapultapec Park with its museums, lake, castle, memorials, and amusement park. In the other direction, one can walk to the Z�calo, Cathedral, National Palace, Palacio Nacional de Bellas Artes, the Diego Rivera Museum next to historic Alameda Park, and of course the ruins of Ten�chtitlan with its beautiful museum. Also, there are cafes, fantastic restaurants, and even a convenience store nearby. The Casa Gonzalez staff is friendly, courteous, anxious to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. Meals are always great and the guests represent a broad mixture of nationalities and interests. The rooms are perfect; not opulent by any means, but comfortable, clean, and fairly priced.
The Casa Gonzalez offers a safe haven right in the middle of bustling Mexico City. A real bargain!
You'll Forget You're in Mexico City
A charming guest house that has been run by the same family for several generations. The current proprietor, Jorge Ortiz Moore, grew up here when his father ran the inn. He is charming, and very dedicated to making his guests feel at home. Very safe, very cozy grounds. Lovely dining room. The rooms vary in quality, but for this price and location, it's hard to complain. Reserve long in advance for the best rooms. Jorge is bilingual (Spanish and English). The rest of the staff speaks Spanish and little if any English.
Great Place
Casa Gonzalez is a great place to stay. The location is in or near the Zona Rosa just a few blocks away from outdoor cafes, bars and shopping.
My wife and I stayed there in June 2003 and enjoyed the converted mansion with hardwood floors, inner courtyard, shared dining and living room, variety of foreign guests, and traditional rooms with skeleton keys for access. There's nothing modern about it but it's still very cozy and worth the $30-$40 per night rooms. Great experience!
Great location - nice place
Stayed for three nites recently. Right across from British Embassy. Semmed very safe (maybe extra security for war protests). Charming accomodations especially for price. Showres soemtimes don't heat. No phones in room. But its a neat place to get around Mexico City from. Esay 4 block walk to Metro thru Zona Rosa on pedestrian only street.We spent one nite at JW Marriott and think we liked Cas Gonzalez better at 1/4 the price.
Made me feel at home
I stayed at Casa Gonzalez in January 1998 for a week. I was traveling alone and stayed for a couple of days on the ground level and I could hear the street noise at night. For the rest of the week, however, I stayed in a lovely single on the second floor. The Gonzalezes are warm, friendly hosts and made me feel very welcome. I had breakfast there most mornings, which were wonderful home-cooked meals. I spent about $25 a night. Meals are extra. Be prepared for makeshift showers in the rooms and space heaters that don't warm up the room entirely during the winter.
Casa Gonzalez, 69 Rio Sena, Sept 02 visit
Affordable, $30 for, two twin beds. I unexpectedly in Mexico City for the weekend, a single women alone. Don't expect much social etiquette from the staff or much in the way of service either. No one was at the desk and the women who checked me in was a bit hostile or inconsiderate. The room was not my taste, but was clean and acceptable for a short stay. My room was near the exit, so it was difficult to nap; the sound of the slamming door when someone entered or exited was jolting. One of the beds needed a new mattress and I think they used outdoor carpeting, but the grounds and location are lovely. It was easy for me to get to the Museums, Zocalo, and the park. Although I would have like to, I did not have a meal at the Casa, you need reservations. The dining area was pleasant and the food smelled great. If this Inn suits your budget and your location standards I recommend it, but try to select your room. I think I might have been given the worse one in the house, being I arrived without a reservations and for just one night stay. Have a pleasant trip.
Casa Gonzalez
When I was 15 (38 years ago) my Spanish teacher, Mrs Knight, took a group of us to Mexico City for 3 weeks. We stayed at Casa Gonzalez. Jorge Gonzalez was the proprietor at that time. I don't know if he's still alive but he and his family were GREAT. The hospitality was excellent. The food was "to die for" as was the evening's Cocoa parties. If I ever travel to Mexico City again, you can bet I will be staying at Casa Gonzalez. You can't go wrong staying there.
Sharon Pilgrim Bremerton, WA
Great Value
Stayed there a year ago upon a friend's recommendation.
Small room, but comfortable and clean for about $25/night - great value!!!
Definitely recommend.
