Babylon 5 Update for 1 - 1 - 2016

[alexcat.livejournal.com]

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.

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season. It's good to be back to normal though. Be sure to check out the rewatch info at b5_revisited and babylon5_love month signups. We need more signups for B5 Love Month, which is coming up in February!
