I imagine we'll have some info on how to deal with this soon;
we're still sussing out all the details.

Yes, the club has to serve netters and non-netters just as
well, or it's organizationally deficient.

We have a PO box now, and we'll do ads in magazines and the
like, plus maintaining a convention presence.

We'll give the info out when we've settled for sure on what
we're going to be charging, and offering, for the club. (Unlike some
clubs, which charge as much as $20 or more, we're trying to keep it
down to something a little more reasonable, to keep it more accessible
to people.)

One of the things we'll be offering for the first 100 signups,
when the details are announced, are full-color decals/stickers of the
*alternate* B5 logo designed by Peter Ledger, never actually used in
the show. These are from my own personal collection of stuff we did
during the development period. We're still looking into what else can
be included for those first in line.

What we're also going to do is to offer the first two issues of
the B5 newsletter free to those who signed onto the original
newsletter, which was going to run for only 5 issues, and stopped at
#3. This way everyone gets their full money's worth.

(The other day I suggested that we start the newsletter with
volume 5, on the theory that volumes 1-3 were destroyed or sabotaged at
the printer's, and volume 4 vanished mysteriously....)

There's a mailing list being put together, yes, but what'll
count is when the actual checks arrive, and we haven't released the
figure yet. BTW, we also plan to offer fan club members a 10% discount
on all B5 merchandise produced by the club.

There's a PO box, which I'll post when we're closer to doing
this.

The fan club was authorized a few weeks back, and we're in the
process now of finalizing all pertinent (and impertinent) elements;
price (we're trying to keep it under $15 to allow maximum
accessibility), what's going into the first membership kit, setting up
an account, that sort of thing.

We have an address for the fan club, but haven't finalized details of price
and material yet.

Unfortunately, we're not set up at the time to take credit
cards; we're a small operation. Also, we had a number of folks ask for
the regular mail route for overseas vs. airmail because they wanted to
keep the cost factor down. So we're kinda caught between a rock and a
hard place here.

They're going out in batches; anyone who hasn't received one
within the next week or two, let me know. Somebody started sending
them out bulk mail; they'll go out henceforth either 1st or 2nd class
mail.

The web page isn't up yet, WB is taking forever on the approval.

I'm sorry, but that *does* constitute a story idea, please
refrain from this in future.
