And depending on how you want to define stuff, most any story can be
considered fan fiction...  The bible, fan fiction.  Roman myth, fan
fiction.  I've heard convincing arguments that they both are fan
fiction.  Roman mythology is derived from Greek mythology.  The Bible
was derived from an oral tradition and stories about God that were at
one time put down into paper.  The people who wrote them could be
considered fanatics or fans of god writing stories, truth of fiction,
about God...

"Babylon 5 was last of the Babylon stations. There would never be
another. It changed the future and it changed us. It taught us that we
have to create the future or others will do it for us. It taught us
that we have to care for one other, because if we don't, who will? And
that true strength sometimes comes from the most unlikely of places.
Mostly though, I think it gave us hope that there can always be new
beginnings, even for people like us." - Susan Ivanova
