Early post today because I'm not sure I'll be able to get to the computer in the evening.

Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!

May the magic be with us all!

And since I'm here already... I've managed to type up 4 pages from what I wrote the day before yesterday - and I promised you a snippet, didn't I?
It is from Chapter 22 of Kansas 2 - The Yellow Brick Road (https://archiveofourown.org/works/17671289/chapters/41678375), which is my ongoing Babylon 5/Star Trek: Voyager crossover; the second part of a trilogy, actually.

Excerpt:

“Can you or your Sisters be of assistance?” Delenn asked.

“No,” Zhalenn replied. “Even if we would allow any outsiders in the Temple, we currently have no strong mind-healers among us. It has been a dying art for centuries; to my knowledge none of the few Minbar still has would be strong enough to perform such a task.”

“Could more of them together do it?”

“I am sorry, Delenn; it does not work that way. This is a delicate and deeply personal process. The patient would block the invasion of multiple minds instinctively and flee to an even deeper coma – or to imminent death.”

“Is there nothing we can do to help, then?” Delenn insisted, still not willing to give up without a fight.

The priestess who had once given her life shook her head again. “Nothing that we can do, to my regret,” she emphasized. “But perhaps the Earth people can help. They have some very strong telepaths among them… even if they serve the other side.”

b5 is a fav of mine. so much to mine ideas-wise.

B5 is a very cool show indeed. Even though JMS had to mess it up at the end. The end of the Shadow War was woefully anticlimactic; something I intend to change in this AU.

don't even get me started about the shadow war!

Especially how it was solved! For all that JMS and the cast mouthed off being so much better than Star Trek, Sheridan pulled the worst "Kirk talks the enemy to death" trick ever seen on television. At least the original Trek had the excuse of being a 1960s show with no fancy computer tricks and a tiny budget. What's JMS's excuse for such a cheap solution? Thinking of something better wouldn't have made his budget explode, methinks.

okay, you've done it now, you've got me started..... i'm into the realms of ferretconspiracy here, but the moment in any scifi when something really good is going on, the executive powers that be pull a Friedberger and the writing goes to pot. it's like some alarm bell goes off and someone says "we can't do this, it's too good, and the ideas are too intense it's like staring into the sun of truth, kill it, kill it now." so we end up with something that's like having the air sucked out. very odd, very jarring. they did it with Stargate Universe too, just when it was getting good, they pulled the plug on the story arc and killed it.

I'm trying to remember the Voyager characters, and which one would have been the strong telepath. It's been forever since I've seen it. Look forward to seeing you mix these universes.

Well, there is Kes, of course, although they got rid of her way too early. I brought her back in this AU. And there is Tuvok, their resident Vulcan - the one they need to find help for in this case.

Look at you go! You are leading by example!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Haha, I can't expect people to do what I'm not doing myself, right?

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Leading by example is always the best way.
