Fiona's short story in B5 Mag - no spoilers
JBONETATI
I just wanted to let you know that I *really* enjoyed your story in B5 #23!
What a cool way to tie up the story of one of the characters we saw pass thru
B5! And to tie her story in with others whose stories we thought we were
finished with...Great! It's a small universe after all <g>.
Congratulations on your first short story! It's a Doozy!

I emailed this on to Fiona, who appreciated the comments, and wanted me to
mention one thing for folks in the LA area who've asked her when and how to
obtain the issue here in the US:
Fiona (who also wrote Patterns of the Soul and the Well of Forever for Crusade)
will be signing at Dangerous Visions Bookstore in Sherman Oaks on Saturday, May
20. She will have 100 advance copies of Babylon 5 magazine Issue #23 to sign.
She will be selling (and autographing) them through DV at cover price ($6.50).
This issue isn't even out in the local news stands. Issue #23 contains the
second of three Babylon 5 stories, written by her exclusively for the mag.
Times for the session haven't been set yet, so you may want to call DV for
specifics the day before.

Thanks for taking the time to forward my note to Fiona, JMS!
Need I say that I'm really bummed that there's only one more issue of the B5
Magazine? Oh, I understand the economic necessity, but it sure seemed that
things in the mag itself were sure improving what with the timeline and new
fiction. I could have gotten spoiled quickly with a steady diet of new stories

One hundred percent AGREED! Who needs backstage stuff (that's now old) and
the rest if it can be a repository for new B5 fiction? That, alone, would be
worth the subscription. Some A4 posters from time to time (a nice one of B5
at night, for example and the crew), I'd STILL kill for a poster sized shot
of the cast and crew outside Earthdome with the White Star Fleet flying over
head (the shot from the end of SiL), and I wouldn't mind some of those
incredibly cool posters I saw in the dailies room when I was on set. Those
things rocked! Some technical stuff (who cares if it's made up? It's fun!)
about the station, the starfuries, the PPG's, the links etc. etc. An
*accurate* map of the station (the one in the Security manual was missing a
whole sector as I recall), some gap-filler plugs (like how exactly DID
Garibaldi and Sheridan make up after Mars, and how come the Captain manages
to put nearly a week of torture behind him as though it never happened?
That's one TOUGH guy if he never has a single flashback or paranoid moment
after everything they put him through, but did we see any of it? Nooooo!
What really happened to Talia, stuff on Sinclair when he first arrived as
Valen in the past.... there's SO much!).
If I hadn't had my local newsagent get the magazine on order every week,
I'd've never have found it. The distribution stank. No wonder sales were
down, you could never find the blasted thing!
I wish they would reconsider.

fact that it wasn't written for people with short attention-spans. The
articles were intelligent & interesting to read. The fact that B5 is
going to the Sci-Fi Channel here in the US has eased my sadness
somewhat, but it's still such a shame that we won't see this fantastic
magazine anymore.
