* MuseAbuse: So much in the point of the Doctor's use of the ''Voyager'' crew for his holo-novel that he had to make revisions and forestall its release.

* {{Flanderisation}}: In the Doctor's thinly-veiled holonovel about his shipmates, Chakotay is defined entirely by his religion (with comically huge facial tattoos and Bajoran earrings), "Torrey" is angry all the time, "Tom Marseilles" is a lech, and "Captain Jenkins" is a cruel viper with a itchy trigger finger. Tom gets revenge by reprogramming the sim, depicting the Doctor as an insufferable ass who spends far too much time on his recreational subroutines (like golf).

(The only character we don't see subject to this is Seven of Nine's expy, no doubt because the Doctor sees Seven as the only crew member on board who is truly sympathetic towards him.)

The Doctor is busy writing a holonovel to submit to a publisher on Earth at the same time that ''Voyager'' is testing out a new communications relay system so that they could have constant access to Starfleet. Unfortunately, the crew finds out that the holonovel the Doctor is writing is about a ship that's so similar to ''Voyager'' that it has Expies of ''Voyager'''s crew in it. The Doctor tries to have the holonovel recalled so that he could make changes to make it less obvious that it's about ''Voyager'', but the publisher has already published the work in progress, catching the attention of the Federation and resulting in a trial over whether the Doctor is enough of a person to be granted rights of control as an artist.
