Suffering from DS9 withdrawal yet? There is help for this plight. Here are some things you can do to ease the loss of the late, great Deep Space Nine.
1. Pull out your tapes and hold a DS9 video party at your house. Invite not only fellow fans, but also non-fans to enjoy hours of entertainment at its very finest. Do not let the non-fans leave they've seen the error of their ways and converted to the worship of the best darn Trek show ever.
2. Build an online shrine to DS9. Include pictures, character bios, actor bios, show history, episode summaries, humour, sound bites, and a lot of love. Then please send me the URL so I may add your site to the list of best sites.
3. Read a DS9 story. Best of luck finding a decent DS9 novel, though granted there are a few.

6. Join a DS9 online community--message board, mailing list, newsgroup--and reminisce about your favorite DS9 characters and moments. Think of these folks as extended family, when you get together you'll laugh, argue, cry, fight, make new friends, scream, stamp your feet, shove your obnoxious cousin Larry in the pool--well just think about the last family reunion you went to and you'll get the idea.
