Babylon 5 Scripts: Other Voices

[FuryPilot]

Volume 1 is releasing next week!

A very cool thing. But now I have to rearrange my budget again.

FuryPilot,

I don't get it. Are you talking about the 15 Volume set? I am confused, could you post a link?

Thanks,

No, its an extra series of books covering the other writers of B5 scripts. There was an email today about the scripts, first saying about the deadline for the script books being extended and the other about the "Other Voices" book.

No word yet on how many of the other scripts will be in them, but I would expect them all.

They said more info next week.

I think this image tells a good part of the story!

*laughs* I was trying to be quick with kids around but yes it tells a better story.

While I feel inspired, I'll start rolling through the Lurker's Guide to see what scripts we should be looking forward to in order:

Born to the Purple - Written by Larry DiTillio
The War Prayer - Written by D. C. Fontana
Deathwalker - Written by Larry DiTillio
Believers - Written by David Gerrold
Survivors - Written by Mark Scott Zicree
By Any Means Necessary - Written by Kathryn Drennan [hmmm... I wonder why she isn't listed - maybe Volume 2?]
TKO - Written by Larry DiTillio
Grail - Written by Christy Marx

Removing By Any Means Necessary, that could be the first 7 scripts.

Then we have

Eyes - Written by Larry DiTillio
Legacies - Written by D. C. Fontana
A Distant Star - Written by D.C. Fontana
The Long Dark - Written by Scott Frost
A Spider in the Web - Written by Larry DiTillio
Soul Mates - Written by Peter David

Gropos - Written by Larry DiTillio
There All the Honor Lies - Written by Peter David
Knives - Written by Larry DiTillio
Day of the Dead - Written by Neil Gaiman

I think that's it unless we include Crusade

The Well of Forever - Written by Fiona Avery
Patterns of the Soul - Written by Fiona Avery
Ruling from the Tomb - Written by Peter David

Having the three Crusade scripts would round it up to 3 volumes of 7 each.

We'll have to see.

I was all set to order Vols 14 & 15 this weekend (finally!) but I guess I'll hold off for a couple of days until the more information is sent...

Thanks for the info ... I guess I really should subscribe to the email newsletter.

But, I am broke anyway now, so it doesn't really matter ..

Looks like I'll have to clear more book shelf space.

Thanks alot Scripts team.

I really love the new color for the covers!

I think the script team is trying to keep us in perpetual poverty.

I'm really pleased to see this is happening. Larry DiTillio told me probably a year a half ago that his scripts were going to be printed after the JMS books, but I wasn't allowed to say anything. I'm glad that it's finally become public knowledge.

[ZenoParadoxus]

I just got the e-mail announcement (and placed my order)!

Yup same here, and here is the website

http://b5othervoices.com/

They plan to release all 18 other scripts, though waiting on approval on 2.

Sure hope they get it, can't imagine anyone turning down effectively easy money but guess there might be a legal issue to overcome.

Alright then...got the email as well. Things I noticed:

1. 16 of 18 scripts approved. Who are the other two? I assume 1 is neil gaiman since he already released his.

2. Volume 2's intro is by Kathryn Drennan! She by far wrote the best season 1 non-JMS episode, and her novel is the best out of any of the b5 ones (preference maybe...but I think there's a concensus to some degree?). Very exciting to me. Maybe we can get her to write another book!

[glindros]

I'm in too, order placed.

I was hoping JMS would write an intro piece for the Other Voices series at least, if not a commentary on each of the episodes. Oh well.

1. 16 of 18 scripts approved. Who are the other two? I assume 1 is neil gaiman since he already released his.

It could be the two Peter David scripts. Or maybe Scott Frost and Neil.
