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.

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.

Yeah, I'd of course like to do a full rewatch, but I think if nothing else, I'd like to go through the end of S2 and then all of S3 and 4 again. Once I hit the true Shadow arc, I tore through that show like nobody's business. (I watched ten episodes in one day once. Ten!) It would be nice to savor it a little bit more.

The pain is why I can't watch the finale. Ugh, my heaaaaart.
