Official since 2011. No story ideas please. Other than for promotion and PR I'm not here a lot, mostly on Patreon, so posts there will get a faster reply

From time to time, folks will see a discussion of of my work going on and say, "I didn't know you worked on (fill in the gap)." Hence, this video....

That would be the worst form of hell imaginable.

[Paul Gray @PXGray]

@straczynski Imagine if you trained your own AI on all you have said and written. An immortal legacy to take over when you move beyond the stars with the ancients. Besides, be good to see those seeking wisdom educated in your afterlife(long may that time and year be from us all). 🤗🙇‍♀️🙇🙇‍♂️

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

Discussed, yes; committed to paper, no.

[Adrián González Viña @GlezVinaAdrian]

@straczynski Hi! Is it true there was a detailled 5-season plan for 'Sense8'?

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

It's eight bucks per month.

[Lynnette @tresparfait]

@straczynski Also how much is the subscription? The article doesn't say?

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

No, we never saw them so there wasn't a need for a prototype, just having fun with the idea of the latest craze. P&T didn't come along into this until we were casting for Day of the Dead.

[Scott Advani @ScottAdvani]

@straczynski You might have answered this already, and if so, I apologize: were Penn and Teller in your mind when you created the characters of Rebo and Zooey, or was that just a happy outcome?

@straczynski Do we get to make our own AI Movies from it?

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

[Peter Weaver @cybapete]

@straczynski maybe it's time for an update then

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

Though alas way way way out of date, bits and pieces on the craft may still be useful.

[Phil @Piano_Trumpet]

@straczynski This will go nicely with my used bookstore find

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

They were first mentioned in my script for Rumors, Bargains and Lies.

[Depeche Modem @MapleSyrupLeafs]

@straczynski Did you come up with the concept of the comedy duo or was that Neil or someone else?

Anyways, always happy to see Penn and Teller on screen, in any form.

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

No that was Neil's idea to show them.

[Depeche Modem @MapleSyrupLeafs]

@straczynski This seems like a great time to ask, when Rebo and Zooty were first mentioned in an earlier episode, did you already have Penn and Teller in mind for the roles?

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

Only produced scripts.

[Steve Dunne @Itsme5teve]

@straczynski Would B5 TMOS appear amongst these?

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

Of course. Though we still have to ensure that enough folks sign on to make it viable given that once a script is made available it will be everywhere within the hour.

[Ghostbusters World Hub @GBWorldHub]

@straczynski Will The Real Ghostbusters be part of this?

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

In the Filmation Studios lobby for a long time there was a big b&w illustration with a dozen faces showing the many moods of He-Man: He-Man Angry, He-Man Sad, He-Man Happy, He-Man Confused...on and on.

They were all exactly the same drawing.

[Sir Darryl Adams is now [email protected] @FlyOpineMonkey]

@straczynski I watched one of your He Man scripted episodes recently. It had a lot of exposition in it. Did production limitations help or hinder your storytelling?

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

@snarkylicious Yes, on Bluesky, thanks.

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

1/ Starting today, with #Babylon5 "Sleeping in Light," I will be uploading a metric ton of my TV, film and comics scripts to create a digital archive for fans, followers, academics and folks with too much time on their hands. Information here:

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

2/ And here's a snapshot for what those script uploads will entail. Should be fun for those who want to learn how to write a script, as mementos, or those who want to follow along or find what was changed or omitted.

Tim Kirk created over 100 illustrations for The Last Dangerous Visions, but given stories falling out over the years, many were never used. I returned his art and the rights and now a book of his LDV art is coming out. Beautiful stuff.

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

The work by @JrRomita here, and really throughout the book, is completely off the chart.

[Spider-Man x Black Cat @victor_dut2171]

@straczynski Re-reading the
legendary Morlun arc! The way you and JRJR conveyed pure exhaustion and stakes was terrifying. Your 2001 era is the definitive Spider-Man run for me but I truly wish we had you back as the permanent, full-time writer for the main book!

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

At last it can be announced: After the tremendous success of HARLAN ELLISON'S GREATEST HITS, VOLUME 1, this coming March will see the release of VOLUME 2. (Cover art coming soon.)

The Real Ghostbusters is finally coming to streaming for free! The first 5 seasons of the 1986 animated series hits Tubi on July 15, just in time for its 40th anniversary.

Venkman, Stantz, Spengler, Zeddemore, & Slimer are back.

Were you a fan of the Saturday morning classic?

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

@Riftsrunner This is a fair point for for fans to debate; that said, to ask how the story of a fictional character in a fictional universe would have changed had someone I considered a good and dear friend not died after months of agony, well...you see the problem.
