Saw this on APOD today.

W00t!

This I found interesting, after reading JMS' posts on the same topic,
and after the strike...(I'm sure the gains aren't retroactive,
anyway,but, there you are)

(though, he still should have had a copy of the contract, too, and not
relied totally on his agent)

Well, I got Cafepress's email today and ordered Vol 14 (Vol. 15 sounds
like it is gonna be WONDERFUL!) -

However, mailwasher suddenly has taken to marking EVRYTHING as
blacklisted, lately, and when I received the "confirmation" email from
Cafepress, it deleted it.

Can someone (Amy? Jan?) who has received it as well, let me know what
the email said? Was there anything more on Vol. 15 in it? Or was it
strictly just a confirmation of my order?

Thank you, and I now return you to our normal mayhem...

;-)

I just got me e-mail. If you don't get notified by tomorrow, go to
babylon5scripts.com and check out the details.

Two bits of news, beyond the announcement itself: the first is that jms
is personally signing all the copies of v. 15 himself.

The next--uh, let me copy/paste:

[ The following text is in the "big5" character set. ]
[ Your display is set for the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
[ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

All,
Just got the following e-mail in. and placed my order.!!!!

Are you sitting down?

Last week, we were having our regular pow-wow with J. Michael Straczynski,
detailing the production status of Volume 15. This is when JMS told us that
while he was adding one big, bonus piece of content (which you'll read
about in Good News #2), he also wanted to do something extra special for
the fans as a thank you for their patience and loyalty to the script books.

"You could sign them," we replied in unison, half-chuckling, as if JMS
would lock himself up for weeks to sign every Volume 15.

"That's what I was thinking," he replied.

Stunned silence. We knew he wasn't kidding.

So that's what he's doing. Right now. As you read this. Signing.

Actually, to be more specific, he's signing the title page of each book,
and the signed title page will be bound with the rest of the pages for
Volume 15.

If you're on the Cafe Press mailing list, you should have already
received (or should soon receive) news about Vols 14 and 15!

Release date March 2

JMS is signing them all!

I remember signing 2000 letters once that were being sent out for a
survey. It changed my signature permanently.

But them, if you're a "signer" to start with -- somebody whose
signature is "in demand" maybe a develop a "public signature" (for the
fans) and then your regular one, like, for your checks.

Well since I moved out to the DC area (from the LA area) I'm unlikely
to run across JMS at a con, so it will be nice to have something
personalized.

In case anyone hasn't seen yet, an email just went out that Volume 14
is available. Whole lots of goodies coming in volumes 14 and 15. I
guess now we know why JMS hasn't posted anything recently:

"So that's what he's doing. Right now. As you read this. Signing.

Actually, to be more specific, he's signing the title page of each
book, and the signed title page will be bound with the rest of the
pages for Volume 15."
