Blake's 7 rewatch community

[vilakins]

I've been a bit slack in fandom lately, not writing anything despite the excellent challenges on b7friday. I'm not sure why, because I still have unwritten stories in my head, but I've been curling up with novels (and often cats) instead. Maybe it's because it's winter. I'd make a resolution to start writing this week, but it's only a couple of days till August and NaArMaMo. Eep.

I floated the idea of a Blake's 7 rewatch community two months ago--and then never got round to doing anything about it, so snowgrouse set one up, b7rewatch. I am now the mod, and have posted a poll, so if you're interested in a rewatch--or a first-time watch--please go and vote for your preferences. :-)

I'm hoping this will get people back watching and talking about B7, and also attract some new fans. :-)

It's the feline equivalent of Groucho Marx's "outside a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read."

It's sometimes hard to read through a cat who wants to be what I'm looking at!

I just looked at the rewatch info page, and I think Justin ought to be accorded the same status as Jarvik. ;^)

And I'm glad you said 'no ship wars' because I HAVE seen comments on LJs in the past 3 years that indicate it could become a problem.

There are days when I feel strangely nostalgic for the ship wars, and the days when there were enough Tarrant fans for A/Bs to have to argue their case.

Good luck!

Ah, I hope you have fun with the rewatch and it goes well. As much as I still love the canon, I can't stand the fandom enough to participate.

A lot of people I don't know have joined, which is encouraging. Of course, they may not comment much.
