a typical summertime entry

[aria]

Know what I'm doing instead of packing? I'm reading all the G'Kar/Londo fic on the AO3. I haven't come across any tentacle porn yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time, considering the probable Venn diagram of Centauri biology and fandom sensibilities. Possibly someone needs to save me from myself.

To save this post from pointlessness (too laaaate) it is time for a poll, because I am genuinely curious as to how many of you know how much of what I'm talking about when I start nattering on about various fannish things. (I am not necessarily asking if you are fannishly involved yourself, nor even if you have seen the shows in question, just if you are not lost when I start talking about them.)

I clicked all of them, but I've only seen a couple episodes of Babylon 5 and none of Due South. So sometimes my understanding level is "I have heard this name!" or "I read that one other fic about him!"

Fandom osmosis is a wonderful thing.

Fandom osmosis is indeed wonderful! I deeply recommend both shows, but, y'know, just knowing about them in general is probably fun too. :D

They are both on my list of shows to get around to watching properly sometime!

It's just that, uh, that list of mine is very long, and my attention span for tv is short. So it may be a while. But I have fruitless good intentions!
