Day 4 - Random Love Month - Babylon 5

In the late 90s, my friend Barbie sent me a box of home copied videos of season 1 of Babylon 5 along with copies of the guidebooks for each season. SciFi tv was showing an episode every night at 7 as well. And boom, I was hooked!

I hung out online at a chat place called Delphi Forums back then and I joined a group led by a guy named Mike Helba. I helped run it for several years. I believe that Mike might have been one of the people who began DragonCon in Atlanta. He was a great guy and I've lost touch over the years, but he was instrumental in the making of a fangirl - I learned how to run and moderate chatrooms and how to run message boards from working with him. I also have a 12 inch Garibaldi that he gave me asa thank you for helping him out.

I have added many fandoms over the years but I've never left babylon 5. At the current time, I run three communities here on DW (And LJas well) - babylon5_love, universe_today and b5_revisited, all communities made by ruuger, who wanted to step away from running them.

While B5 is an old television show, it is not dead. New fans come to the show all the time - it reminds me of Tolkien. It is a large body of work that has an actual story arc that plays out over 5 years. There are books and spinoffs as well.

It's also a friendly fandom. I invite any of you looking for something new to come give B5 a look. We might even be doing a new rewatch beginning at b5_revisited.
