What is a fanlisting?
A fanlisting is, as the name suggests, a list of fans for a certain subject, which online and open for anyone. All that is required is your (nick)name, a valid e-mail and your country.
Some people don't see the fun behind it, but that is exactly what fanlistings are, a hobby and fun. Seeing how many people share one's interests, creating sites and graphics and sometimes even sharing extras and information about the subject.
So if you are a fan, there is no reason not to join, your e-mail doesn't need to be displayed and won't be used for spamming you either*. Giving a valid e-mail just helps preventing fake members to join.
And when you really like a subject, why not show it? Especially with not so popular topics you make a lot of other fans happy to see that they are not alone.
The fanlistings are all listed at www.thefanlistings.org, the idea itself is from Janine.
* The script used to manage the fans who joined will automatically sent you an e-mail when you filled out the form correctly and then a second mail once I have added you to the actual list. The only other mail might be an note about a change of the url, so you can update your links and won't bump into a dead link.
Why did I adopt this fl?
As much as I love the show and the entire cast, Marcus is one of three characters I favour above anyone else.
He is courageous, romantic, smart, a bit crazy, a fierce fighter, a loyal friend and he got a weird sense of humour. On top of that the cutest accent to be heard in the Babylon 5 verse. How could I not like him? How could anyone not like him?
Even Dr. Franklin likes him, and he was "tortured" by a singing Marcus for hours on their mission to Mars in Season 4.
Despite being punished with the most horrible of curses, after being destroyed and sent back to the dead, twice, his main interest remained to ressurrect the love of his life. Who wouldn't love a guy like this? (especially when he is wearing such hot pants ...)
Where does the title come from?
he title comes from a conversation between Marcus and Dr. Franklin. It was chosen by Abby. and I could not think of anything more suiting and so I decided to keep it..
