Attn JMS: What's Next?
Kevin Kenney
waiting for someone to latch onto it. This makes me think you have some
time on your hands (finally) - which being a workaholic, you're filling
with something that hopefully you want to do. A novel, perhaps? What
would you like to do next, if the show takes awhile to take off?
Hope you're having fun,

I've been about as busy since Crusade as during it. In addition to the comic
(which is going great guns, but the schedule is a bit off, about which I've had
some talks with the good folks at Top Cow), and the series project which is
currently in rather serious development mode....
There's the TV movie script I recently finished for CBS...the adaptation of CM
Kornbluth's "The Marching Morons" for NPR's Beyond 2000 radio series...I
finished a novel outline now being sold in NY...I have a feature film in
development that's now in script stage...I knocked down two of the B5 stories
in Amazing Stories Magazine (with one coming out this month and another due
from me in December)... the ongoing column in B5 Magazine...in the next little
bit I should finally conclude a deal for an original computer game I've
designed (have both a developer and a publisher who want to do it)...the bulk
of the original B5 novel outlines were written after Crusade was
completed...and there's been a bunch of other stuff.
But the main thing that's consumed my time has been the series development,
which has just recently begun to show signs of maybe some good news coming,
though I can't say anything more about it at this point.
Suffice to say, though, it's been kinda hectic around here for the last few
months.

IIRC, that is what Delenn said about Sheridan.

kind of exists in his head. A lot of characters pull from what he or people whom
he is intimately familiar have. I'm sure that problem-solving part of the
Sheridan character has to be a part of him; it's a necessary trait for a
producer to be able to find a way, regardless of the odds, to get the job done.
It's not always possible (as we found out with Crusade) but one has to approach
the job with that kind of mindset.

Dear JMS,
I terribly glad to see you (hell, anyone) bringing "The Marching Morons"
to the public. I got pulled into CM Kornbluth's wonderful work after I read
"The Black Bag" (might not be the complete title) in the _Science Fiction
Hall of Fame_. Great writer, great visionary, and a wonderful concept in
"TMM". By the way, can you tell me where I can find any Ham bushes? I've
been trying like heck and am getting nowhere with these canned hams--just
can't get'em to grow.

As I recall it, that's a pretty tough-minded story with some pretty nasty
aspects to it -- I wonder how Joe will get it past the PC crowd. I'll bet you
couldn't do it on TV.

I'm just wondering when it's going to air. It IS a rather evil<G>

So this is a *third* story for Amazing Stories? I enjoyed the first one
extremely, am anxiously waiting to read the G'Kar and Lyta story (as soon as my
Comic Store gets their shipment) ... If I'm understanding correctly, and there
is a third story in the works, can you share what it will be about?
Thanks in advance,

It's a story starring the Babylon 5 replacement crew seen in "Objects in Motion"
and "Object at Rest", namely Captain Lochely, XO Corwin, Narn ambassador Ta'Lon,
Centauri ambassador Vir, IA Intel Head Tessa "Number One" Halloran, and that female
doctor from "Interludes and Examinations".

Haven't decided yet.

much of the Babylon 5 characters in my head, made reading the story like a
watching an actual episode. I read it ravenously, finishing it in about 15
or 20 minutes. I'm looking forward to No. 3, and hoping it's *not* your
last one for Amazing Stories.

How have the tales been doing for Amazing? The editorial says a lot of
copies cleared down at the con in Australia. And you must've got
writer's cramp signing. :)
Any interest, from you and them, in doing more stories for the mag?

What the folks at Amazing have indicated is that the B5 story issues have been
among their best sellers, beating out nearly everything else. That's kinda
nice...

Any chance down the line (after you add a few more to the lineup) that the
stories will be collected in a single edition. or a book?
