There is a nice article about the talk jms gave to aspiring writers at Comic Con on July 23rd
His overarching theme: the importance of writing what you deeply care about.
and here is a video link to his MIT lecture from earlier in the year.

Regarding the delay of the two Crusade books…it’s the B5 tradition.
I’ve been very pleased that so many folks who have received the Babylon 5 volumes have said great things about the them. Though, bear in mind that there is a ceiling on how long these final Crusade script books will be available at www.babylon5scripts.com so get in while the Cafe Press price breaks will give you maximum benefit.
Sorry devoted Live Feed listeners. No live feed tonight. Mike has a pet emergency and can’t host and engineer the show tonight.
No need to fear. We’ll return next week with some fresh live feed goodness.
Until then here’s a few thoughts:
Why was Lyta kicked out of her room for lack of space when all of Grey 17 was empty?
Does Rising Star work as a better ending than Objects at Rest?
Captain Jacyln wants you to know she hasn’t forgotten about the surprise mailing that she mentioned on the Babylon Podcast.
“The Scripts Team is most likely going to send the mailing next week instead of this one because the contents of the mailing have changed. Three days ago we got clearance to share something timely with the fans that has postponed our previous mailing because this is a timely piece of content and that is also super cool.”
Thanks for the update.
Check with the podcast and in the comments on this post for any new information.
Wondering what the new books from the script team are about? Find out March 4th at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific on the Babylon Podcast live feed.
Though a special arrangement with Captain Jacyln and the scripts team, Tim and Summer will be getting advanced copies of the book. They will announce the book and talk about some of its contents during the live feed.
Come and join us for the reveal and all the regular Babylon 5 insanity.
How to listen to the Live Feed
First, you need an application that can connect to a streaming feed. WinAmp seems to be the app of choice for Windows, and iTunes or Quicktime seems to work best on the Mac. One app of choice for Linux users is Amarok (with the xine engine).
To connect to the live feed, you can point your favorite audio stream catcher at one of the following server feeds:
http://stream.farpointmedia.net:8000/listen.pls (USA)
http://w2k.myftp.org:8000/FPM.m3u (Europe)
Tune in on Wednesday, find out what the new script books are all about, then join us in the chat room to discuss amongst other B5 fans and listeners!
There will be no Live Feed Wednesday, January 14th.
I really hate to post this, and I know there has been a gap in live feeds and shows for the holidays. Scheduling and technical difficulties do not allow for live feeding to happen Wednesday, but Summer and the guys will be recording a new episode. The episode will be…..
Well, I wish I could say because I’m really excited about it, but Summer would go ninja on me if I ruined the surprise. Check back next week, you won’t want to miss it.
In the mean time I hope this will help you get through one more week: Link
Before I get to Brad’s final installment I was thinking, how hard could this song stuff be? Hmmm…….
We wish you a Merry Koshmas;
We wish you a Merry Koshmas;
We wish you a Merry Koshmas and a Happy Third Age.
Good tidings we bring to Kosh and Sheridan;
Good tidings for Koshmas and a Happy Third Age.
Oh, bring us a spooey pudding;
Oh, bring us a spooey pudding;
Oh, bring us a spooey pudding and a cup of brevari
We won’t go until we nuke them;
We won’t go until we nuke them;
We won’t go until we nuke them until they glow
We wish you a Merry Koshmas;
We wish you a Merry Koshmas;
We wish you a Merry Koshmas and a Happy Third Age.
OK, I’ll stick to voicemail……
Happy Holidays Everybody!

I know you’ve been bummed this holiday season, no whitestar under your tree, and the encounter suit was just a little too tight around the waist.
What can the discriminating Babylon 5 fan do to get more out of the holiday season?
