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.
The leaves are turning here and Jack O’ Lanterns can be seen appearing all over. As the weather cools, watching Babylon 5 is a great way to spend those chilly evenings. Also we are rewatching atb5_revisited! Join us!
Susan and Talia – a fan video I found as a tribute to Susan and Talia:
Fanfic:
Inescapable by janetcarter (Susan Ivanova/Talia Winters, Teen and up).
Devolution by janetcarter (Delenn/Lennier {one-sided}, Gen).
Regret’s Remedy by janetcarter (Lyta Alexander/G’Kar, Gen).
How Talia Cured Morning Grumpiness by DemonofPuns (Susan Ivanova/Talia Winters, Mature).
The Ghosts of All by Merfilly (Vir, Gen).
UPDATED:
The Beginning of the Age of Raiders by the stargate time traveller (T).
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.
Something a little different – a page at a website called fandomania – this one is from 2009 and features several nice pieces: Fanart from Dragon Con in 2009.
Bio of the week: Gary Cole
Gary Cole was Captain Matthew Gideon on the short lived B5 spinoff, Crusade. Gary hails from Illinois and is an actor with a long, long list of credits. He’s been many television shows and often plays a rather sleazy character – even Gideon was a bit of a rogue himself. He actually first acted in high school in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown as Snoopy. He is the same age as my hubby – 64 – and is still quite busy in television. He had one child, Mary, and his wife, Teddi Siddall, died in 2018, a year after filing for divorce.
