JMS now on Patreon

[Jan]

I've only seen the first hour so far as I wasn't feeling well yesterday. Looked like there were a few technical difficulties at first and it started a few minutes late. Looked like that segment was all fan questions. The three ladies looked like they were haing a good time and are still good friends....

[Jan]

The main contribuiting factor to these forums being relatively slow is the fact that the show's been gone for so long. Open discussion means I get to participate and I don't think anybody would say that I don't make it clear when I'm posting as Admin and when I'm posting as a fan. I'm proud of the...

[Jan]

For the hard of understanding, let me point out the part of the sentence you skipped "So if this were a convention, at the discounted price, over 769 people would have to sign up for it in order for it to be worth their while." So again, IF this were a personal appearance, that's a minimum...

[Jan]

Obviously I have no way of knowing what's 'worth their while'. See above for the 'none of our business part' again in case you've forgotten. But the fact remains that the actors make their money from their time and appearance so it's perhaps not unreasonable to draw the comparison to convention appearances...

[Jan]

I don't think it's up to the actors to be responsible for the PR for a show that's been off the air for so long. As for high prices...There are at least four people involved. Now the one and only time I heard of how much an appearance fee for an actor was (many years ago) it was over $10K (plus travel,...

[Jan]

Definitely anybody can say what they like - it was just a rant.

I went ahead and got the discounted general session mainly because I want to see our own Jason Davis interviewing them. Nice to have somebody who really (!!) knows the show doing the interviews....

[Jan]

No offense, Looney, and this post just triggered the outburst that's been brewing for a while. WHY is it that anybody thinks they have a right to speculate about what anybody does with their money?!!? People were speculating about JMS' Patreon and another group was speculating about somebody with...

[Jan]

Why not LOONIE? Or LOONYE I agree, LooneyLooks just doesn't 'look' good!...

[Jan]

Way too far in advance for me to commit given 'uncertain times', but I'm glad you'll be there and will push for a panel. Let me know when you find out and I'll see what kind of swag I might still have. I doubt there'd be much call for the ribbons but I've still got some wristbands I ordered for a...

[Jan]

The poll makes it sound like the leaked script was the reason that the "Forbidden Planet" project was shelved but JMS did do the complete rewrite of the script....

[Jan]

Looney, dear...you seem to forget that if I were inclined, I could change this to "Should Phaze change his Avatar" quite easily. Just sayin'...

[Jan]

Oh, that's cool! Don't agree with all of them but very cool. Especially Clark!!

[Jan]

I thought it went well. Very reminiscent of 'old time' chats from, for instance, the AOL days. JMS did clarify the dream he's got for the Patreon and it's not small. Two screenshots.

[Jan]

Decided to go ahead and start a separate thread for happenings that are appropriate to share and any discussion. Will move other posts from the Twitter thread here....

[Jan]

For anybody who may have missed it, JMS is hosting the first Patreon chat this afternoon at 4:00 PM Pacific time (7:00 PM Eastern)....

[Jan]

Thanks for this, Sense8ional!...

[Jan]

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

[Jan]

I'm assuming for bookkeeping (or tax?) purposes. None of my business (though I've always loved that logo).



Maybe because it had/has others involved? He did mention that with plans to do audio dramas and perhaps animation, that it feels like returning to his roots....

[Jan]

Yes, Discord is a chat server that's just gotten set up. It looks like it can have both text channels and voice channels so he may use it for a number of things. Except for the initial set-up, it's quiet. JMS said he'd set chats up and give people notice so they can schedule.

And speaking...
