New B5 Script books via Amazon

[Jan]

Galaxycon Louisville had put their schedule out but so far there's only one panel with JMS listed. A Behind the Scenes of B5 with Peter David. Which I can see being a lot of fun but I'd be amazed if there's no spotlight or Becoming Superman panel. I've tweeted to ask....

Mira Furlan has been announced now....

Not for a simple upload which is the point I think he was making. If the 'tech' won't accept the file and keep the formatting, then I think saying that it's "not up to it" is a fair assessment. But then, the machines have to prove they're our masters, don't they? ...

[Jan]

For me the most important part, and the part that I understood wouldn't be offered again, were all the commentaries and extras. In fact, I remember seeing in some of the mail-outs that they might indeed re-issue the scripts in a different publication at some point. Not sure if it was part of an FAQ...

[Jan]

Key words being time & labor intensive. As he said, maybe at some point but not right now. Whether some folks believe something or not is quite immaterial (though I've verified it with Jason Davis who has lots of experience with the vagaries of Amazon publishing)....

[Jan]

Apparently the tech isn't up to handling script formatting so far. That was close to the first questions asked (which I added above)....

[Jan]

While not including JMS' commentary like the previous editions, many folks will like that there are more scripts per book.


To the question about a Kindle version (heck, that was my first question, too!):...

Tracy Scoggins is the first confirmed guest for the con....

Thanks. I'm betting those all sold a bunch of raffle tickets. I remember him donating a signed Sleeping in Light script for the raffle at the high school comic con he attended/supported uite a while ago....

JMS got an award from his high school and linked to this video from the event. The sound is pretty bad but what I could hear was interesting. Still trying to figure out what he announced toward the end that caused a fair bit of excitement.

I never wanted to be here, never wanted to know the things I know, or do ... or do the things I've done. "...

In case you haven't heard, the B5 Podcast has been doing a few new episodes. The most recent one has Jason Davis as a guest:

"Diplomatic immunity only applies when the subject is charged with a crime. So far, Mr. Morden hasn't been charged. We're holding him in ... protective custody."...

I know a fair number of folks are still waiting. I got the original order I put in but ordered a couple more when I got extra ARCs to give as gifts and I haven't gotten those yet. His travel schedule pust things behind and then his injury but he posted the other day a photo of (I think) 25 that were...

I don't recall him saying anything bad about it? Somebody refresh my memory? I know DiTillio was a little unhappy that the actress was covered so much with prosthetics and contacts....

[Jan]

I'm very encouraged by the swiftness of their replies, for sure....

[Jan]

Okay, I'm really rather hesitant to mention this because it's raised some red flags for me, but maybe others have information I don't about previous events.

There's a FB page advertiising a B5 Event in the UK Feb. 28 - Mar. 1 next year. https://www.facebook.com/events/9561...tab=discus...

IIRC, JMS lives in the heart of LA so he should have power. I really feel for the ones without power or at risk from the fires, thoug!...
