Sb: #Universe Today.
Fm: HART TREVOR
JMS,
Sorry to bother you but I read (in the email from the official site I
think) a post saying a new batch of the "Universe Today" issues were being
sent out with a poster. I have been waiting for any of my stuff for what must
be past two months now ( I joined through the UK fan club) and have yet to
recieve anything. I was just wondering if this is the second issue of the
"Universe Today" and as I have not recieved anything yet have I missed the
first issue. Please can you tell me if this is case?
My name is Trevor Hart and I live in East Sussex, England, in case the
gentleman running the club needs to look anything up.
Many thanks.
Trevor.

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
No, this is still the first issue. (Jim and his aide took a polaroid of
the big pallet of boxes going out the other day.) Basically, everyone's
membership date is moved to when we got around to it, so nobody loses anything.

Sb: #Storytelling Question
Fm: REBECCA ESCHLIMAN
Do you ever deliberately set out to commemorate people you've known when you
write a story?
or
Do you find that, once you've written the story, you have inadvertently
commemorated people you've known?
or
None of the above.

Sb: #575369-Storytelling Question
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
I don't know if commemorate is the right word for what you're asking...
you wanna take another stab at that and clarify? This can cover everything
from Tuckerizing to homage to using friends or whatever.

[ Summary: Found an old message of JMS' in which he stated that the White
Star could be flown by a single person "if it came to that." Asks the
obvious question, "It's not going to come to that, is it?" ]

Well, it's conceivable....we'll have to see.

[ Summary: Asks if JMS picked the name of General Hague's ship, Alexander,
because of the U.S. General Alexander Haig. If not, he asks why the
name was chosen. ]

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
I liked the sound of the name...and I was thinking more of the Hague as a
place, not Haig the military guy.

Fm: DAVID BELT
Joe,
Thanks for the quick response! Of course I will enclose a self-addressed and
stamped mailer. I also found Othersyde! It will be a couple of weeks before
the books get to me, but as soon as I get them I will send them off to you.
Thank you so much for helping me out with this! Are there other novels
(besides Demon Night and Othersyde) that I should know about?

Those are my only two novels (at present); there's a TWILIGHT ZONE
anthology I wrote, but that's damned near impossible to find.

Sb: #Season 3 Title Sequence
Fm: STEVEN K. ANDEWEG
Before Season 3 comes to an end, I just wanted you to know that even after
viewing the opening title sequence a couple hundred times now, the CGI
end-over-end view of B5 accompanied by Chris Franke's eerie score still gives
me the chills. I never fast-forward past it. That's the best opener I've seen
on any show.
Can't wait to see and hear the Season 4 version.

Sb: #575518-#Season 3 Title Sequence
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
What remarkable timing...John Copeland and I just got finished with the
main title for year 4, which is, again, different from last year's. This time I
wanted a whole new approach, on just about every level, and designed the thing
myself, working with John and the editors to get the best shots and pull it all
together. It's *majorly* cool. We showed it to some members of the crew, and
they're all jazzed by it, they think it's our best main title ever.

Fm: TOM GENERAL
>>>
Drop a line to Jim Lockett at jplb5 at aol.com and let him know. Again, there
were some initial problems with the post office, and we have no way of knowing
who didn't receive one of the mailed items until we hear from them.

Joe,
This is completely ineffective. He doesn't respond to email. Can you come up
with a way of getting to him in person? Are the major mailings over now? What
about the rest of us? I'm really getting pissed about this.

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
No, the major mailings aren't over, they're still going out. Everyone
who signed on will get/is getting their stuff. He's had a lot of email to
contend with, but I do know that a lot of folks are a) getting their stuff, and
b) getting email replies. He's getting to it.
