Talking about Fanfic

[kungfuwaynewho]

So all of a sudden I'm finding myself writing B5 fic again.  Trying to finish these pesky WIPs!  The problem is, I haven't watched the show since I sort of dropped out of fandom/quit writing fic.  I'm constantly googling things or checking the B5 wiki because I don't remember shit.  "Thingy Delenn uses to make the Chrysalis" - right, the Triluminary!  "When does Delenn get the Triluminary?"  And so on.

Basically I'm the worst fan.

It was kind of fun reading through some of my old fic, though.  Every now and then I would be like, this isn't half bad!  And it's nice to take a break from all my "real" writing on occasion.  I don't know how many people are even still on LJ that are still actively in B5 thingies, but at a certain point you have to write for yourself anyway.

Totally know what you mean about getting back into writing in a fandom and not remembering all the details. Even more embarrassing, I do this sometimes the original stuff hearts_blood and I are always playing with - we'll abandon a project for a while in favor of another, then I'll go back and be like "...wait, how does this all fit together again? What was the name of that one guy? Crap, now I have to reread all the old stuff again to remember, just so I can write this one scene..."

And yay for writing B5 fic again! I shall have to try to remember to keep an eye on your LJ for further updates. Are you on Ao3 as well?

My husband and I are working our way through B5! We just finished S3, and will be starting S4 either this week or next. I'm kind of dreading it (as much as I love it, but oh, the pain). It's been fun to revisit it through fresh eyes.

*dusts off journal* ahem. is this thing on?

Hiiiii! I totally just stalked all the way back here to your journal because I just finished a b5 rewatch and am going to re-read all of your old fic. ALL OF IT. and then maybe watch b5 all over again, jsyk. So even though it's been a few months since you made this post, if you ever need canon fu or anything, just email me. ;) also, I would not be opposed at all if you did copy all your fic to ao3, it's become my absolute fave place to read fic. Should you need help with that, email me for that, too. ;)
