Q: Where do you get your information?
A: A lot of official sources: the episodes themselves, comics, novels, magazines, the RPG, B5 Wars, micromachines, and JMS on Usenet, AOL, Genie, & Compu$erv. Anything I can get my hands on. Q: OK, but how come there's stuff I've never seen?
A: Good question. Compiling all this information can get... boring, and frustrating. So when I see an article with very little or no information about something from a novel or a very minor background element, the voices tell me to take creative license. (One cannot disobey the voices... ) If you're looking for canon material only, check the Notes page. Those articles with my illustrations and ideas are marked and you can avoid them if you wish. Q: How come there aren't profiles for all the characters in the show?
A: I start with my favorite characters and go down the list (a slow process). Priority is given to all other sections. For the record: I really do like G'Kar and Londo -- two of the show's finest actors. To tell the truth, I opened this section just for n’grath... Q: Who is JMS?
A: J. Michael Straczynski. Creater, writer and executive producer of the television show, "Babylon 5". Also known as the Great Maker without whom watching television would be that much bleaker for the last 4 years. And TNT would be that much poorer without the five years subscription I'll have to buy to continue with the story. Q: Has JMS seen your site, and what does he think?
A: Someone asked him that question on Compu$erve a long time ago. Here is JMS' reply: "Dunno, I haven't seen it...will investigate." Sure beats the quote the Spoilers page got... Q: Can I download this in a text file?
A: No. Sorry, for one I can't spare the time to make a new file every time I add to the site. Further, the megabytes I have available are inadequate. Q: Is this available in book format?
A:Faith manages. Q: Why aren't there any episode synopses?
A: A great number of sites have that area covered (foremost being the Lurker's Guide and the Official Babylon 5 Site) more than adequately. Q: Has the VEX won any awards?
A: The VEX has won four awards! Awards are as follows: Cool Site of the Hour (2am, Sept. 20, 1996), Geek Site of the Day (Sept. 20, 1996), a 4-star rating from Magellan, and the Shakaar Top 5 Site for December! In addition to Net Awards, Voltayre's Encyclopedia Xenobiologica has been mentioned in Sci-Fi Flix (September 1996), Sci Fi Entertainment (February 1997), TELE (Mar 15-21, 1997). The VEX was also reviewed by Science Fiction Weekly (April 6, 1997) and named their Sci-Fi Site of the Week! The July 5-11 issue of TV Guide lists the VEX among three others in an article by Jose A. Martinez. On October 21, 1997, the VEX was selected as one of the Best of B5 related sites by Best of Babylonia.The VEX is featured as a “Click Pick” in the Babylon 5 section of Your Personal Net Sci-Fi (Michael Wolff, ed., Dell Publishing, 1997). The VEX may be featured in a future broadcast of “Wild, Wild Web,” an upcoming issue of StarBurst, and Sci Fi Universe. |
