Responding to Neil's:
I'm surprised that more writers haven't exploited the possibilities opened up by cyberspace, since it lets you put the characters virtually anywhere you could imagine.

Slightly more seriously, I suspect the reason there's so little in this genre out there is that a lot of fanficcers look to the series rather directly for their inspiration for backgrounds (not unnaturally). We therefore get treated to the _Liberator_, xyz quarry, abc primitive society &c&c.
That's probably true, but I'd suggest another possible reason, also. My immediate reaction when Neil suggested B7 fic in cyberspace was to instantly flash onto two cliches: the out-of-control holodeck simulation seen so often on Trek, and the dreaded "and then he woke up and it was all a computer simulation." I have the horrible, sinking feeling that if I ever tried to write a B7 cyberspace story, it'd somehow end up turning into one of those, whether I wanted it to or not...
