Sarah Chambers was criminally underused. So, please, write fic about her and make her a person instead of a cardboard cut-out.
I have a half written piece from her point of view - trying to get into her head - but I need to re-watch, because it felt off characterisation wise. I started it because in thinking about what I might write in that fandom I realised how little idea of her as a character I had and thought that trying to write a vignette from her point of view was the way to fix that...

I so love John Matheson... although I do wish JMS didn't have the unfortunate tendency to give so many characters names ending with -son or -sen, especially black and Asian ones. In B5, too, are bunches of minor characters who pop up for an episode or two and have names like that.
I hadn't noticed that (linguistics isn't an area that I pick up on things in very much (except for noticing uses and misuses of Latin)). I wonder if it is supposed to suggest something about the backgrounds of the characters.
