I had to re-read this a number of times because I spent most of yesterday in A&E at the hospital (Accident and Emergency)

I'm also sorry if this has been asked; I had heard that you and he had thought of writing a sequel together at some point, but how much of the plot had you guys discussed? I hope this isn't a sensitive question, I've been re-reading my DW lately collection and missing him

There's probably a great reason I'm not seeing, but you could probably get a stylus custom made to look like a fountain pen and use it with a tablet? Probably a lot of effort more effort than it's worth, but that's be one hell of an aesthetic.

Part of me wants us, as in all of humanity, to collectively decide to drop the facade that Sci-Fi isn't just an extension of Fantasy. But the rest of me is a pedant, much as I try not to be.

This had somehow managed to *completely* escape my notice. Thanks for mentioning this, or I may have never even heard of them!

Later on I wondered, "why aren't I including short stories?"
Because Neil's definitely penned a number I'd firmly list as Sci-Fi, so it seems like I've got some kind of prejudice there I didn't know I had.
(against short stories I mean. 'prejudice' might be too strong a word?)

It's just occurred to me, when reviewers say you write sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, is B5 and DW the sci-fi they're referring to? Other than a few short stories, I'm wracking my brain trying to think of any

I remember you had a story about a drug that did that, in Smoke & Mirrors. It left a profound impression on me, as a kid (most of your stuff did) and always thought it'd make a great movie

Why so many gunpowder subclasses, though?

The ones who are best at their jobs may see the writing on the wall, and I couldn't fault them for leaving, but does that necessarily make them good people?
