universe_todayI update once every 2 weeks (or so) with fiction, challenges etc. Please feel free to contact me if I 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.
Summer is winding down and hurricane season is beginning here in the Eastern US. We are about to close out Babylon 5 Love Month and we are watching Season 2 at our Babylon 5 Revisited group. That means anytime is good for Babylon 5!

Fan comic:
Babylon 6 Episode 4: Driving Forces by Jameson9101322 (Various, Gen). Check it out! It’s a good story. Last chapter of episode 4
Fanart:
I am changing up the fanart selections since I use Deviantart for most of my art posts. For the foreseeable future I will feature one artist a week and maybe include a small sample of their work with a link.
This week we are featuring Overlink. Beautiful digital art of ships and space with a few crossovers, thrown in.
Bio of the week: Stephen Furst
Those of us of a certain age will always remember Stephen Furst from National Lampoon’s Animal House. That one came out the year I started college, too. Toga parties were a thing! I also remember him on St. Elsewhere. But of course, my favorite role was Vir Cotto, long suffering aid to Londo Mollari.
He was much beloved by fans and I read that his kidney transplant was from a B5 fan… He died in 2017 from complications of diabetes. He was survived by his wife of over 40 years and his two sons.
