: Works for me Am - Since you did such a good job : setting up the archiving, perhaps you could help : out on this issue...? I still say that I think : we're getting a little carried about JMS reading : our stuff. The man is very busy, and so I doubt : he even has time to regularly visit Byron's Site : much less spend time reading The Forum - much less : BYRON: The Early Years!. I apologize for being : snippy but I think we're putting too much emphasize : on thie issue. Fine - let's s start a Fan Fiction : page linked to this site and be done with the squabbling. : Just my humble opinion. : Anwenn - hoping not to have upset anyone too much. : : : : 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. : : Well why doesn't one of us set up a fanfiction page and post the address here? : : Fanfiction kept Star Trek alive over the years between the first series and the : : Next Generation and has produced some wonderful work. as long as people love B5 : : there will be fanfiction written about it and in my mind this is not a bad : : thing but a great thing. I understand jms point, in the litiginous US society he : : is worried about being accused of stealing other writers ideas. But there is : : always going to be fanfic.
