: This is, obviously, a common problem that has come up many times before. JMS's attitude on this is he does not want alternate storylines posted in such a way he might inadvertently read them. He does not 'punish' the actors for this. The net abounds with fan fiction about every actor on the show. I think adding a Fan Fiction section will solve any further questions on this.
While I agree that jms would not hold Robin responsible for fanfict posted on the net, I'd suggest that folks think about a couple of points. B5 fanfict writers have traditionally kept their work out of jms' sight, private, by some means or other. The purpose of this site, I should think, would be to put Robin in as PUBLIC a position as possible. The two seem rather at odds.
And, while I won't presume to speak for them, I'll guess that Jeffrey and Doc Rock have their hands quite full with all they've already planned. Perhaps we should not create new tasks for them without consulting them.
