Sorry if someone has already asked this and you have replied, as I'm still
kind new to this newsgroups and Usenet in general. 

  So I'm reading the second Psi Corp book (got it Monday from Amazon.com)
and enjoying it a great deal. I know the author wrote this based on (as it
says on the front of the book) "an original outline from JMS". So my
question is, how much detail does the outline have and how much does the
author get to add? Is the outline general like you must fit in A B and C
into the story but how you get there is up to you, or is more specific and
detailed? I'm just curious.

I also just want to say how bummed out I am about Crusade. I was a
latecomer to the B5 party, getting in about 1/2 though the 3d season, as
was looking forward to Crusade ALOT. I will watch the 13 and hope for the
best. I'm a big fan of Gary Cole's (ever since American Gothic) and was
glad to see him cast in it. So anyway, thanks for the whole B5 universe
and the stories it continues to generate.

The usual length of my outlines tends to be about 15-18 pages per book, so
45-54 pages total per trilogy.  It's fairly extensive and has all the major
beats worked out.
