I have read several Trek novels where the main TV characters were not the main characters in the book... the story just occurred in the Trek "universe". Also, there are three new Trek series that have all new characters, ships etc. Spin-offs if you will. And in one of the spin offs one of the major characters did die. So, it is possible to have good stories in these "proscribed" genres.
