Hmm, I'm starting to become more and more fascinated by the idea of Lennier/Ivanova. :) Not sure if I can 'see' the pairing either, at least with the canon versions of both of them, but I'm very curious to see how you pulled it off!
To be honest, I've never been much for slash pairings myself, and Londo/G'Kar is the first one I'm wholeheartedly into. Not sure why; I think it has to do with both of them being tragic and lonely and isolated from their own people (except Vir, of course), and middle-aged and not all that handsome (so no typical slash material), combined with the delicious irony of one-time enemies finding that they're, essentially, the only ones who understand each other. Plus, they're both very much in need of some happiness, and I don't see any other option for either of them, apart from pairing them with an OC, which I feel would lack emotional impact. Still, despite my over-enthusiastic squeeing about them (I'm still new enough to all of this that I tend to get carried away a little), when it comes to fic I'm still a gen writer at heart; I certainly don't see myself getting beyond the occasional kissing scene anytime soon. 'Small mercies' is my only story that's even remotely slashy, and the ones I'm working on now are all gen. Incidentally, for babylon5_love I'll be doing a Vir & Londo friendship fic, which may be more your piece of cake. ;) And 'Acts of contrition' is pure gen too, essentially a s5 missing scene set on Centauri Prime.
So tell me - why Lennier/Ivanova? :)
Thirdspace I've seen, but sadly, G'Kar is not in it. And I don't think Vir is in Crusade?
Using a voice recorder in the car: hmm, that doesn't sound any less hazardous than thinking about story ideas. :) Also, dictating lines doesn't seem that simple to me. I hardly ever think up a sentence in one stretch; I need to see it written out in order to polish it further. But practice makes perfect, I guess!
