Today I bought my copy of A Wizard of Mars! I'm only about fifty pages in, but it's already made me do things like look up the domesticated fauna of Barsoom (because I hit page 12 and immediately went "What the hell is a thoat?"); it is also, I suddenly realized, the first Young Wizards book that has come out since I was in high school. I'm having the strange experience of reading about Kit's history class tribulations and remembering, This is what I was like as a teenager, and I just -- I love it. These books have my heart.
I finished the third season of Babylon 5 last night. I am now quietly FLIPPING OUT because I need to know what happens next; I am also, somewhat to my alarm, beginning to think about the show in what I recognize to be my fannish patterns. I want to write Sheridan/Delenn ficlets! I am wondering how much Londo/G'Kar fic is out there and whether any of it is as complex and awesome as it could conceivably be! (I may have just caved and looked at the pairing stats on the AO3; there are in fact 25 Londo/G'Kar fics, but more to the point there is a Delenn/Sheridan/Sinclair fic!! Shut up, I know that logistically it would never work, I want it anyway. Ohgod there is Lyta/Kosh fic! I need to close this browser window now.) I want to work out if any of the events in the show are fixed points in time, what would happen if the Doctor turned up on the station, and most importantly how exactly Gallifrey-Vorlon political relations work. I DON'T NEED ANOTHER FANDOM. But I think it may already be too late.
Perhaps relatedly, at least while I'm on the subject of fandom life choices, I signed up for Remix Redux 8. I have never done a remix challenge before but I've wanted to for years. (Fandoms I have enough fic written in to qualify for: two guesses, and they both start with the letter D.) So I have that and my due South big bang this next month!
I have no graceful way to end this entry, so here is a picture of Ambassador Kosh. He does not have a pancake on his head, because Vorlons do not eat pancakes.
