Well. Okay, then.

J. Michael Straczynski - Hang with JMS

48m ·

When the virus has been beaten
And I can move around with ease,
I’ll try to find my passport
So I can travel as I please.
I’ll shop in France
And try on pants
Too young to match my style
And with effort and a prison file
(A process that might take a while)
I know that I can make them fit
Unless of course I have to sit.
I’ll try new sports
I’ll ride a horse
Assuming he will let me.
I’ll buy new toys
And make some noise
So no one will forget me.
I’ll visit London, Spain and Rome
And when at last I circle home
I’ll contentedly remove my shoes
And catch up on the evening news:
An asteroid is approaching Earth
Our only hope is Colin Firth
There’s volcanoes and tsunamis
A strange shortage of salamis
An alien invasion
A leprosy contagion
Archaeologists hatched a hydra’s egg
And all of Europe’s a powder keg.
But after what 2020 did to me
I’ll just smile, and nod, and make some tea
The year is 2023
And nothing you say can frighten me.

By itself, this post of JMS' paints an interesting picture. But the response is just *perfect*!!

An interesting response when an interviewer thanked JMS for interviews and mentioned wanting to talk to him about the City of Dreams audtio dramas:

Ahh potentially the first fruits of the Patreon.

Somebody tweeted JMS a passage from a law textbook where the sample characters were B5 folks.

Who knew lawyers were fans of science fiction and had such good senses of humor?

Hey! I can't see that tier! Is he discriminating against the follicually chllenged?? Shees!

Hahaha. Terrible isn't it!?

Had to post this, I just thought of JMS the minute I saw it. Maybe this is what season 6 of Babylon 5 looks like!?

Wow, can't believe that copyright debate is still going. I'd have just stopped posting if I was JMS.

And speaking of last night, there was quite a long discussion about Copyright last night. Not threaded so no link. But worth checking out if you're interested.

The tweet discussions about Copyright are still going on.

JMS announced a new Patreon tier today... personally I think this is a strong look for him and it's time all us fans followed suit.

Agreed. LOVE the logo. Not sure how I feel about subscribing and how much I should spend, especially at this time.

Having a Patreon page is an interesting way to go. I wonder if anyone will do the $250/month to have a regular phone conversation and other exclusive perks plus coffee if you are local. Starting at the $20 per month level you get "Voting power: The ability to help choose upcoming projects". That is participating in the creative process.

Well thats interesting... we have spend a long time here NOT being creative on his stuff as to not cause issue. Wonder whats up?

Whatever it is, he said that the 'no story ideas' rule is still in place.
