[color=#000000  ost_uid0]Here, at last, is the promised event of this week: a major expansion of our [i  ost_uid0]Babylon 5[/i  ost_uid0] content, and changes in Sci-Fivers to go with it. Â Here's the run-down:
[*]Nan and Sa'ar Chasm are the big producers this time, having written [i ost_uid0]three[/i ost_uid0] B5 fivers faster than you'd believe. Â Their joint contributions are "Comes the Inquisitor," "Ceremonies of Light and Dark," and "A Late Delivery From Avalon."[*]Making her debut with this event is someone the forumgoers will recognize: Taya17. Â An old Deltachat buddy of mine, she's contributed Five-Minute "The Parliament of Dreams."[*]I decided to take this opportunity to do my usual fiving-the-pilot thing. Â B5 started with a movie called "The Gathering," but I went with the first actual episode, "Midnight on the Firing Line."[*]Finally, you'll notice that Sci-Fivers now has a new front page, and that the B5 and Movies sections have been upgraded to "minisites." Â This is for several reasons -- mainly to keep the size of the 5MSF front page down, but also because both sections will continue to grow, and because I just like making new graphics. Â (There's another reason you'll be finding out before long.) Â The new subsite FAQ will also appear in the next few days.[/list]And that's the event. Â Thanks for your patience; hope you enjoy it, though I admit its appeal is probably limited to [i ost_uid0]Babylon 5[/i ost_uid0] fans. Â (If you're not into B5, by the way, I seriously recommend getting into it.) Â For the next few days we'll be back to more usual stuff, including my next [i ost_uid0]Enterprise[/i ost_uid0] fiver and some new material from Kira. Â Don't miss it.
(Oh, speaking of Kira, she put in a lot of extra work on this event. Â She oversaw the editing process for the guest fivers and did all the boring parts of the HTML work. Â My thanks to her for this latest round of exemplary Site Managing.)[/color ost_uid0]
