Another year has gone by, and it's time for round 5(!) of babylon5_love.

So, once again: what is babylon5_love? It's a month-long multimedia celebration of all things Babylon 5, a community where everyone picks a day to post something related to B5 or Crusade. Any pairing, any character, any media. In the last three years, we've had people contribute everything from fanfiction to fanvids to craft patterns to original songs - check out the tags to see all the old goodies.

What kind of thing will you do?: fic

About the date... since I have a finished but never posted B5 fic on my hard-drive, I could basically post whenever. Only thing is, so far, I could not find a beta reader for my fic and since English isn't my native language, I would hate for it to go public without being beta read.
Would it be possible to search for a beta reader through a post in this community?

[ruuger]

How long is your fic and what pairings/characters does it focus on? I might be able to do the beta myself, and if not, I'll see if I can find someone :)

Let me know if you need fill-in; I'm striving to have two fics ready. The second can either wait for the free-for-all or fill a blank.

[ruuger]

The 19th is yours, thanks for signing up. And I'll keep you in mind - it's pretty likely that there will be empty days left :)

What kind of thing will you do?: I have a B5-related craft project underway, so I thought I'd post the results. :)

I'm also thinking of doing either fic or some sort of meta, but I'm not sure if those are going to work out. If I get something else finished besides the crafty stuff, I'd love to post it here. Maybe on the 16th or thereabouts? Mind you, I'm not promising anything just yet. ;) But I might have something.

[ruuger]

The 9th is yours. And I'll keep you in mind if there are still empty days left when the month begins :)

Preferred posting date: I'll take the 4th off your hands. :)
2nd preferred: Another one of the early ones.
What kind of thing will you do: I was thinking meta on introducing people to the show and soliciting ideas for episode watching for getting people hooked.

Also if it's all right and there are some days still unfilled, I have some B5 stories I've written for kink_bingo (http://kink-bingo.dreamwidth.org/98847.html) this year and haven't posted anywhere yet; I could certainly polish them up and post them here. (Three stories so far.)

[ruuger]

The 4th is yours - and I was kinda hoping that someone other than me would take it since it's my birthday :)

And sure, the kink bingo stories are fine, just let me know which day(s) you want.

What kind of thing will you do?: honestly, I'm not sure yet. Probably -not- fic or icons. Probably something crafty, or some drabbling. I'm sure I'll figure something out when the inspiration hits me.... Just want to get signed up for late in the month so I'm done with my summer semester.
