But maybe you're here to hear about the media franchise tie-ins. Yes, she wrote a novel based on ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', called ''The Entropy Effect'', and it was popular enough that she was hired to do the {{novelization}}s of several of the Star Trek movies: ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'', and ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome''. She is also responsible for giving Ensign Sulu of the original series his first name, Hikaru--until then, he'd simply been "Sulu". She also wrote an early Franchise/StarWars novel, ''Literature/TheCrystalStar''.

* MultipurposeMonoculturedCrop: A short story depicts Earth as having exactly two species: humanity and a plant that can be processed into literally ''anything'' imaginable -- food, construction, fuel, and everything else. What happened to everything else? Humanity essentially exterminated every other species, ''down to the microflora'', so the plant would never have any competition. We then dutifully recorded every genome and proceeded to sit on them with no intention of ever using the data, leaving humanity alone with the plant.

* HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace: The short story "Aztecs" (later incorporated into ''Superluminal'') had a variation where the subjective measurement of time was affected; people conscious through the trip tended to die of old age. Passengers were thus kept in [[HumanPopsicle suspended animation]] for the trip to keep them safe. For the captain, however, the trick is to ensure the captain has no method of marking the passage of time. No clocks, and the captain has to have his [[BodyHorror heart removed and replaced with a quiet rotary pump]], ensuring they have no heartbeat they can use to measure time with. Most captains keep the ashes of their own hearts to remind them of the permanency of this... hence the title of the original short story.

* RenaissanceMan: Marie-Josephe Delacroix in ''The Moon and the Sun'' is a Renaissance ''woman''--her areas of expertise include mathematics, "natural philosophy" (i.e., natural sciences), and music. She can also draw reasonably well, which is a very useful ability for a scientifically inclined person to have in the days before photography.

Vonda N. [=McIntyre=] is an American science fiction writer best known for her award-winning novel ''Literature/{{Dreamsnake}}'' and her various novels set in the Franchise/StarTrek and Franchise/StarWars universes.
Like most genre writers in the seventies, [=McIntyre=] started with short fiction. She won her first UsefulNotes/NebulaAward in 1973, two years before publishing her first novel, ''The Exile Waiting.'' She later adapted that award-winning short, "Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand", into a novel called ''Dreamsnake''. Initially rejected by her publisher, the novel went on to win both another Nebula ''and'' a {{UsefulNotes/Hugo|Award}}, making her only the third woman to have won the Hugo.
But maybe you're here to hear about the media franchise tie-ins. Yes, she wrote a novel based on ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', called ''The Entropy Effect'', and it was popular enough that she was hired to do the {{novelization}}s of several of the Star Trek movies: ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'', and ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome''.

Her novel ''The Moon and the Sun'' was adapted for the 2017 movie ''Film/TheKingsDaughter''.
In addition to writing, she was also co-editor of an anthology of feminist SF called ''Aurora: Beyond Equality'', and a founder of the west coast branch of the famous Clarion writers workshop. Creator/RobertHeinlein included her in the dedications in his novel ''Literature/{{Friday}}''.
