[quote]Just some quick, minor updates....
In the comics world...Supreme Power 12 came out last week, and the next Amazing
Spider-Man comes out this week, and I'm very happy with how both of them came
out. It's a good time to jump on board.
I was recently in NYC for a big retreat/conference with Marvel about upcoming
projects, and while there are several I can't talk about yet, one thing I can
mention is that I'll be doing a Silver Surfer miniseries that should shake
people up a bit.
There's also going to be something very weird and funny coming from Marvel
soon, which will give them cause to never, ever invite me to one of these
things ever again.
Also, the first of the last three Rising Stars issues comes out next month as
well as the co-written first issue of the Doctor Strange miniseries.
On the TV front, I have final confirmation that the last batch of Jeremiah
episodes will be airing on the regular Showtime channels starting September
3rd. The episodes are:
Sept 3: Crossing Jordan and Running On Empty
Sept 10:: The Question and The Past Is Prologue
Sept 17: The Face In The Mirror and State Of The Union
Sept 24: Interregnum (Parts 1 and 2)
All of them are really strong episodes, and I'm glad to see them finally being
aired.
Pending contractual negotiations and formal pickup by the networks involved,
I've been offered two different series, so we'll see which goes first. They
could both be very cool to work on, but one of them could be insanely
successful. I should know more about this situation in late October. (Neither
is Trek-related, just to nip any potential rumors in the bud.)
Starting sometime in October, in an unrelated project, our friends in Britain
can expect to see me hanging about on-and-off in the general vicinity of
London. Just, y'know, workin', doin' stuff.
I've also tentatively agreed (pending working out some details) to appear at
FedCon in Bonn, Germany in May of next year. In an unrelated story, my radio
series, The City of Dreams, will also apparently be airing soon on German
radio. For those of you who can speak the langauge, you can get more
information at [url]http://www.sf-radio.net/radio/spezial/[/url]
The next of my novels to be reprinted from ibooks/Simon and Schuster is
Tribulations, due out in December, which can be pre-ordered at Amazon.com at

Buddy the Miracle Cat (or Buddy TMC as he is known to his hip-hop friends)
celebrated his first re-birthday last month, and has decided that he wants to
be a shark instead of a cat. There's clear plastic covering one of the floors
while work is being done, and he loves nothing more than to get under the
plastic (lots of holes for air, don't worry) and circle around me like a shark,
over and over. It's all he wants to do anymore.
Oh, and in the next week or so I should be turning in the next-to-final draft
of the TMoS screenplay.

ORGASUM!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for the Jeremiah thing: about bloody time. Stupid american networks. Maybe we'll finally get S2 on DVD at last.

So very subtle… just like JMS. Any more cryptic and he'd be doing his Kosh impression again. :) It's been rumored before they were going to film in London. Do we have any news of the other B5 cast going to London in October?
btw, jms beeing in UK from October on doesn't mean that they are starting shooting in October. They probably just start pre-production then...
[B]OMG JMS IS GONNA BE HERE! BUT WHERE IN LONDON? MUST FIN OUT! [/B][/QUOTE]
[url=http://www.aboutbritain.com/TowerOfLondon.htm][b][size=9][color=red]HERE!!!!111!!!!1!!![/color][/size][/b][/url]
Or perhaps [URL=http://www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com/index.html]this[/URL] after he's finished?
Worf
I think he's gonna be in england for about a year. Why?
[quote]
I've also tentatively agreed (pending working out some details) to appear at

To this day he hasn't been to a german con (as far as i know), because the traveltime was too long. Now, from england, it's just about 2 Hours with a plane....
[B]Now lets not turn in stalkers everyone! [/B][/QUOTE]
Now who said anything about stalking? Im just gonna show up at his flat at odd hours & take as many pictures as possible :D.
Question, if hes gonna be at the comicon or the London expo whose goin? If you guys want make a list of questions you want to ask the big man, I'll ask them. (assuming Im still in London when this starts.)

I was going to say that, since I will be going to both regardless of JMS (or any other B5 people) being there or not.
The problem is, he might not be able to answer questions for legal reasons and I wouldn't want to trick him into thinking I was asking for another site.
Worf
if it's because of the mods, the easiest thing is not to say a name of the page, just say "for a fanpage" or something.
as for questions: something that'd rater interest me is, if they are going to update any designs (ships etc), or use them as they were in the series...
[B]hm, what legal issues?

It is the mods and like I said, I wouldn't want to trick him as he would be in trouble too.
Worf
maybe someone should make a site that is "not involved with firstones" that can be used as cover for interviews ;)
JMS is active online, so he will ask what the site is.
The best chance we have is to give him a copy of the questions, the site url and an email address to send the questions to.
That way he can visit the site and if he feels it would be ok to answer the questions, he can, if not, then he wont.
If you dont tell him the site url and he finds out (which he will, because someone will probably post a link on usenet), I would imagine he would be rather "annoyed", it could put him off future B5 projects if he thinks the fans will treat him badly.
It is possible he might even try to shut firstones down if he gets in trouble with the law because of us.
So, not being completely honest with JMS would be a very stupid thing to do.
Worf
That could lead him to trouble, as this would be evidence that could be used against him if someone thought he was using ideas from a mod and wanted to go to court over it....
