Thanks. Yes, I sometimes do get notions for stories with our
characters outside the B5 arc. Earlier stuff, later stuff...you just
sorta file it away. I'll probably never get to telling any of it, but
it helps add truth to the writing because I know what they're doing
elsewhere and elsewhen. Those tales will probably never be told.
