Hi, Joe ... sorry if this question is asked elsewhere, but I havent run
across it yet.

Long ago, you made a request about fanfic, saying something along the
lines of asking us not to do any fanfic until after the 5th season had
ended its tv run, but that we could feel free after that.

Basically, I'm asking you now if we have your permission to "play" with
your characters in B5 fanfic?  I just wouldn't feel right doing it if
you said no.

Thanks!

I can't give permission because WB owns the rights to those characters, not me.
 And I think they would still view it as a form of copyright infringement.
