nenya_kanadka: young girl with maple leaf flag on cheek (Susan/Delenn)

Long time no post!

In case anyone's interested, I'm reccing Babylon 5 fanfiction over at [livejournal.com profile] crack_van for the month of July 2012. I signed up in about March, and expected them to call me up in the middle of something awkward, but nope, it looks like I'll have time for it! \o/

B5 has been recced over there twice before, in June 2004 (which netted us a fantastic fandom overview) and September 2008. So I'll be promoting fics that have been written since then. There'll probably be a lot more humans and Minbari this time around (as those are what I'm into, and there was a lot more Centauri/Narn stuff earlier), though keep an eye out for the Na'Toth femslash fic coming up!

There'll be about a dozen fics over the course of the month, and you can follow them all at the Babylon 5 tag at [livejournal.com profile] crack_van.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS POST IS PERFECTION. Right down to the 'current music' and 'current location'. I'm super excited to see your recs! :D

:D!

I am wallowing in the glorious fanfic, simply wallowing. Plus, connecting people to shiny things they may not yet have seen! And maybe more hits for awesome authors! Whee!

Lyrics for that song (http://www.leoslyrics.com/the-be-five/the-touch-of-your-hand-lyrics/), btw, include the lines

The One who is, the One who was
Wants me back just because


Which may have made me choke on my tea. LOL.

(Hi, Jeff/Delenn icon! <3)

Yeeeeessss, those are the best things! Man, fanfic recs are great in any shape or form.

Hahaha yeah, I know, those are my favourite lines. I didn't even notice at first, but then, after a few times, I suddenly realised that yes, she was actually singing that. Hilarious.

(So many BFF-feelings. So, so many.)

I need to butt in here with this iconnnnnn.

(I don't ship them in a sex way. Just in a... like, soul way? IDK. THEY ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN ETC.)

And Nenya I love you bb where you been keeping yoself?

Weirdly the only B5 thing I've written of any quality since 2008 is ... Ivanova/Garibaldi. Wut. I know, I know, but [livejournal.com profile] icepixie dared me and I wrote it and it started to make an awkward kind of sense. I FEEL WEIRD.

I really wanted to be like LOOK AT THE TALIA/GARIBALDI I WROTE AND IT'S AMAZING LET'S CONVERT THE REST OF THE FANDOMMMM but I don't really have any. Ugh. Apparently I take dares requests though.

(bb, I linked you just FYI, not because I'm expecting you to rec me! I just got excited because B5!!!)

Also is that music you're listening to real please tell me it isn't or it's fan filk or something because it's kinda wigging me out.

/haven't slept in a while you'd never have guessed right? xoxox

It is a real song in the real world, and it is not really Jeff/Delenn but it has a few lines that make it sound B5-ish. It is in fact sung by Mira Furlan, off a CD she did with a couple of the other B5 cast (Claudia Christian, Bill Mumy, Andreas Katsulas, and Peter Jurasik, I believe) in the late 1990s.

These are the lyrics (http://www.leoslyrics.com/the-be-five/the-touch-of-your-hand-lyrics/). I have the song on my computer but can't seem to find it on YouTube anymore, although there's one by Claudia Christian here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4kojZepG7E).

Ahaha! Awkward position to be in! I remember you posting it and me being all, "I think Garibaldi ships that but I don't know if anyone else including me does," but I should go read it now!

My Jeff/Delenn was here (http://archiveofourown.org/works/335852) if you are curious. Basically Delenn is my favourite and nobody talks shit about Jeff around me without getting a smack. <3

Oh it is Ivanova/Garibaldi not Talia/Garibaldi! Hmm.

(Garibaldi ships him and Talia. Canon doesn't supply anything Ivanova/Garibaldi that I can see, though your story (the first couple of paragraphs in) is completely convincing. And I've seen a fair bit of Jeff/Susan/Michael for Season 1, written Back In The Day, like when it was first being broadcast. Oh, Geocities...)

Yeah, the ivanova/garibaldi is really odd. I wrote it as a challenge and still don't like the pairing, but used it to sneak in some of my obsession with day of the dead :)

Butt butt. ;)

(YES, that is exactly how I feel about them. Like, I wouldn't want them to be together in a romantic sense, but they are just so perfect together. FEELINGS.)

From: [identity profile] mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com
YES. FEELINGS. I shrieked out loud with so much joy when it's like OMG SHE IS A CHILD OF VALEN ... OMG ... OMG because suddenly their cosmic connection was even more awesome. It's always been my sekrit fanon that Sinclair is the person who most affected Delenn's life (and that she knows that) - even more than Dukhat or Sheridan - because Sinclair's the one who set her on the path of turning human. I just get really excited about it. We were right about youuuuuuuu.

And then people in fandom harsh on Sinclair and I'm all THAT JUST MEANS YOU WEREN'T PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THE AWESOME. HELLO, HE'S ALIEN JESUS, YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.

:-D

HI YOU I have been well, just sporadic in my LJings, and occasionally reading your blogge and feeling awkward about saying hello because I have been quiet for so long. HI! HUGS!

I feel very much the same way about Jeff and Delenn. All the feelings. I actually did write them in a sex way once, believe it or not, but it faded to black at the end because it wasn't about the sex, it was about the Chrysalis and being Minbari and being Human and having Destinies and all that stuff. (It was only sex because a) a Porn Battle prompt b) I tend to sex everybody and c) they're both hawt. :P)

Apparently I will ramble on this subject forever and am delighted you share my opinions. XD I need a Jeff/Delenn (Jeff-Delenn?) icon though.

I"m super excited to see these recs. You did the first one really, I thought.

Thanks! Second one is now up as of about 3 am this morning, and I'll do another before we skip northward for music on the weekend.

I'm not in that fandom, but I wanted to flail at you over the joys of recc'ing in fandom (in my case it's BBC's Sherlock over at 221B_recs last month). So here's to you having a wonderful month of sharing fan works you love!

Thank you! :D I hope you enjoyed your month of reccing! I haven't really done this before in a concerted way, though I try to leave notes here on the blogge if I like things. This is a lot of fun, though.

YAY!
