Babylon 5 Update for 12 - 17 - 2017

[alexcat]

I update once every 2 weeks (or so) with fiction, challenges etc. Please feel free to contact me if you have news or anything you think needs to be featured here. Just send me a PM at alexcat or post it to the update and I’ll include it the next time.

We had our first and very early snowstorm last weekend. Hopefully we will not see more anytime soon. Wishing you all Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year! Babylon 5 is the perfect cure for those cold days that keep you inside! Please join us at our mirror site at Dreamwidth as well. We will be rewatching Season 5 at b5_revisited. Join us!
