screen near you! THE LURKER'S GUIDE TO REC.ARTS.SF.TV.BABYLON5 Yes,
friends, the World Wide Web page you've all been waiting for--a guide to
the wonder and the mystery that is rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5! An
ever-growing, ever-linking WWW homepage that will provide all that you
could ever want to know about the world of r.a.s.t.b5! A homepage that
will feature links such as "Cast of
Characters"--Mini-biographies of the most frequent posters to the
group. At last you can find out about the freak calculator accident that
left a seven permanently embedded in jere7my thorpe's abdomen! (What, you
thought he was into body-piercing?) "Synopses"--You say you
missed the first 750 posts to the "Moderation?" thread and don't
know how you'll ever catch up? Not to worry! With our handy synopses of
all the major threads, you'll never have any trouble keeping up with all
the flamewars! "Analysis"--Still trying to figure out who
Gharlane of Eddore really is and why he says the things he does? Join your
fellow posters on the "Gharlane Analysis" link--one of dozens of
links analyzing the foibles and motivations of the group's most colorful
posters. "Cons"--Announcements of appearances by major
r.a.s.t.b5 personalities at SF gatherings around the world; and reports of
what they had to say for those who could not attend. ("Gee, you don't
look anything like your sig.") Only by reading the Lurker's Guide to
RASTB5 will you know in advance the secret hotel rooms that will serve as
RASTB5 hospitality suites. "Awards"--In an extension of the
acting/writing/production awards that he presented at the end of Season
One, "Grandpaw" Bill Park institutes seasonal awards for the
best posts to r.a.s.t.b5! An array of categories springs to mind: Best Arc
Analysis. Best Technical Discussion Thread. Best Tantrum in a Flamewar.
Best Humor Peace. Best Sig. And many other categories, too numerous to
mention here! "Humor"--A link to a WWW page maintained by Nathan
Mates archiving the creative endeavors of those wacky RASTB5 posters.
Laugh at Chris Carter's hilarious parody of Steve Orso's arc analyses!
Groan at Larry Crawford's pun-filled burlesque of a Theron Fuller rant.
Revel in the spectacle of the group's most agile wits desperately trying
to amuse themselves until the damn reruns are over! Yes, friends, it's THE
LURKER'S GUIDE TO REC.ARTS.SF.TV.BABYLON5! Coming soon to a computer
screen near you! Back
