John and Delenn

[Looney]

I am a fanfiction writer for a different show but I'm definitely contemplating writing one for B5 where he doesn't go to Z'ha'dum! Preferably with some explosive Anna-Delenn scenes

Are "explosive Anna-Delenn scenes" your only motivation for keeping Sheridan from going to Z'Ha'Dum?

Personally I think I am more interested in peripheral stories than alternate histories. I think it is interesting to speculate on different turns the show might have taken had things like having Sheridan not go to Z'Ha'Dum or if Talia didn't end up being a sleeper agent, but I think I am more interested in what did happen. There are definitely aspects of the story that I wish had gone down differently, but mostly I just wanted more. What I mean is more of the story drawn out, like having the Shadow War last four seasons once it was all out in the open. Okay, that is a poor example. It isn't very logical because we all know that in the end a long drawn out campaign would not have gone well for the good guys, but you know what I mean. Well just look at the topic of the thread. I wish we had more of the Delenn/John relationship before they got married. And going back to what I said about "peripheral stories" I mean stories that were happening at the same time as the main arc. Things happening back on Earth with characters who went back and so on. Things that involved the main arc, but were just glanced over in dialogue and what not. Basically loads of added exposition please.

Hah, no Mainly I just want Delenn and John to get very very old together. The wife versus new lover scenes would just be a huge bonus!

As for the rest of your post: I too would have loved to see more of the courting couple before they suddenly got married off screen. It took them wayyyy too long to finally kiss IMO, and after that finally happened, we got to see wayyyy to little of the romance. Some 'in between episode' scenes would be interesting indeed. *Walks off pondering ...*

To Looney or Jan,
I started writing and have published a small first chapter on another site. Do you know if it is allowed to post links on here? Or can I add a link to that site to my profile? I don't mean to spam anyone, I'm just a crazed B5 fan looking for fellow addicts to exchange my thoughts with ...

Anne,

While we don't do fanfic here (on the far-off chance JMS might visit), you're welcome to add a link in your signture (user CP on the top left-> edit signature). Thanks for asking!
