lizbeeDay 02 - A show you wish more people were watching
Babylon 5. For purely selfish reasons: then I would have more friends who would understand what I'm talking about when I wibble about it, and more fic would be being written, and I wouldn't find myself staring sadly at the B5 page on AO3, sadly wishing it would update more often. Even though it is currently notable for the fact that Ivanova/Talia fic outnumbers all other pairings with 39 works (Sheridan/Delenn is the only pairing that comes close with 37), making it the only time I have ever seen a fandom where femslash outnumbered the canon het ship. Of course, both pairings are canon. Go, youlittle red fire engine fandom!
If I were going to do this properly, I would now cut to my own brilliant and witty pimping post. Only I am not certain I'm a fit person to try and promote the show, because I keep going, "Well, it has some rubbish bits, and is kind of embarrassing in places, and then it makes me cry, and also Delenn is one of my ur-characters, so obviously I'm biased but I think she is AWESOME LIKE ROMANA ONLY BETTERER, and Lennier is constantly one bad day away from a killing spree, and my other favourite character is basically a giant lampshade attached to a sparkly curtain, so, y'know, ymmv. I don't know, you should look it up and see if it hits any of your kinks, I don't want to be one of those people who pimps things so indiscriminately that she puts everyone off it. Did I mention that I love Delenn? Because I do."
aria has a much better post here. Go read hers; I have spammed enough for one day, and am going to bed. I SAID GOOD NIGHT, SIR!

Date: 2010-06-08 09:37 pm (UTC)Susan/Marcus seems to get much less fic now. That might be because it's a very conventional hot boy/hot girl ship and the people who used to write it were immature writers who didn't have a lot of commitment. Or it might be because the incredibly creepy post-show short story JMS wrote about them put people off the ship.
