So... what is the problem? You seem to be saying that the ultimate control is to not publish AND that you want ultimate control. Is someone forcing you to publish?
I'm not trying to be snarky, but why do you write? Honestly, I mean that. If it's to make a living, I think you have a better chance with the state of things now than you did with the traditional publishing model of yesteryear.
If only because didn't you say your books are Star Trekky? That was a tough niche to break into, if I understand correctly -- lots of good/established/decently-famous authors happy to churn out Star Trek fic on the Star Trek dime. How would you compete?
