I am stuck at work on a holiday. I allow myself to read fic when I have to work holidays or weekends. Not during the week. (Well, not much.)
And I do read v.v. fast :) Commenting takes a little longer. As for criticism; I liked the G'Kar thoughts better, but I'm not sure why. (I really liked the voyeur comment; my mind raced off for a moment, then thought, oh yeah, Dust. Not what I was thinking...)
Londo is hard; he is so over the top and Out There, yet hidden as well. I don't have a good handle on him, so it's hard for me to say 'this is Londo, this is not Londo.' I'll think about it. I'm not terribly good at critiquing (much less beta'ing). Oddly, I can think what works and doesn't work for me, but find it hard to convey in words.
Oh, and not thinking alcoholic here, it just struck me as a good description of the feeling, and not one I remember coming across before.
Don't worry about reading my stuff; it's all up there and will stay there, no matter how cringe-worthy some it can be at times.
Do you spend a lot of time polishing phrases? It seems like you must, or you're a natural at turning them out. I'm fussing over my next b5 love entry and think I'll soon start rubbing off the finish if I continue. Sigh. The shorter pieces can be harder than the long ones.
