More thoughts on 90s-channel-tv-exchange
Thank you, everyone, for explaining the nominations and matching for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
90s_channel_tv_exchange! I've played only a couple of AO3-matched games (never Yuletide) and was confused.
I'm thinking about what the90s_channel_tv_exchange timeline and participation means for fkficfest. As the new fest is due May 21, should we come due in mid to late April? Early May? Mid-to-late June? Or will overlap with the new exchange fest just use up everyone's time, energy, and interest for the year? (Easter is April 9, and Passover April 5-13, this year.) I'll get the survey up soon.
I'm pondering whether to sign up for the new exchange myself. Peruse their tagset so far. Obviously, FK and HL. (Some of the FK noms so far remind me of the risks of exchanges in dearly opinionated fandoms. I just don't do pro-evil or pro-vampirism.) Beyond them, many to read, few to write?
TL;DR: If you have a short '90s canon you think I'd enjoy writing, whether I've forgotten it or never yet met it, pitch it to me?
My other dearest TV shows hit outside the '90s bounds. Within those bounds, there's nothing but FK and HL that I feel immediately confident that I could do, for sure, to my own joy and a reader's satisfaction. Most of the canons are quite long and I haven't reviewed them in, well, decades.
I used to always offer AtS and BtVS, but it's been a long time, I'm further than ever from the characters, and we're all much less happy with anything near Mr. Whedon. Is it even okay to go there any more?
I used to sometimes offer Sailor Moon, but I originally watched and read it in the '90s, so I know the characters best by their English names and their adapted versions. That's not how it's done anymore! And the canon, of course, is so much more sprawling. It's been a long time.
I do love Rurouni Kenshin, Doctor Quinn: Medicine Woman, original Quantum Leap, TNG, DS9, Darkwing Duck, Monarch of the Glen, and Ballykissangel, and own many of them on DVD, but have not rewatched them all the way straight through ever, and not more than the odd holiday or favorite episode in many years, and some of them are very long canons. I couldn't fully re-ingest and re-process the whole canons in time.
The original Beauty and the Beast? It's been a long while, but... hmmm. Do I still have anything to say about it, does it still have anything to say to me...?
I'm still only early in Earth: Final Conflict. I could finish watching canon in time, but it would be wildly imprudent to offer to write a show I haven't even finished the second season of.
Someone has nominated MST3K, but only wants the Mike years. No. Similarly, someone has nominated Twin Peaks, but only 'ships. No.
I could rewatch Jeeves and Wooster in time, but I'm not actually a fan of the show, nice as it is -- I'm a fan of the original books by Wodehouse.
I somehow completely missed ever seeing Zorro (1990) aka The New Zorro, for all that I love that IP in general so much. Must not have aired where I was. Ah, syndication days!
Etc. :-)

Yes, '90s TV theme! Whether or not I write for this new exchange, I will enthusiastically read in it! I really enjoyed its predecessor exchange games, like MyOldFandom and a couple of others, but those did stretch far enough beyond the '90s, one direction or the other, that I always had more to offer.
