beatrice_otter: Sinclair--Not to Yield (Not to yield)
I am plowing through the Yuletide archive, but for the first time I don't think I'll be able to read all the stories I want to read before the authors are revealed, looking through the number of tabs I have open and the amount of things I have to do tomorrow.  Now, this is because I have been doing fun stuff with family while I'm home on Christmas vacation--for example, tonight we've been playing clue and pinochle (I won the last hand with a run, aces around, and a double pinochle, it was awesome)--so I wouldn't have changed things around to get to read more.  But still, it is nice to get them all read before the authors are revealed.

[personal profile] schneefink has been watching Babylon 5 for the very first time, and posting lovely reaction posts, and Babylon 5 is one of my favorite shows ever, so it's wonderful ... except that I have SUCH a hard time remembering the exact order of things and so avoiding spoilers is hard, which makes discussion hard. And [personal profile] schneefink is very spoiler-phobic (more so than I would be) which means discussing some of the great structural stuff JMS was doing, even in vague generalities, is verboten.  I am having to gnaw my fingernails off to keep from spoiling her with each post she makes, and I'm still not always succeeding.

And remember, I am doing a Posting Meme in January!  Anything and everything you want to ask me, the post is HERE, there are a lot of open days left.

I'll be going to see Into the Woods tomorrow with my aunt, and am looking forward to it.

Haha, I'm sure it must be very tempting! I'm only this strict about spoilers for very good shows. I really enjoy guessing and speculating what's going to happen, how things work etc. The only thing that's good about Bab5 not having a larger current fandom in the fandom spaces I know is that I picked up very few spoilers via fannish osmosis before even watching the show.

LK is already talking about getting other people to watch the show next, so then AV and I can enjoy watching them watch it for the first time and discover all the pieces of foreshadowing that we're not seeing yet.
