I will have to start turning over some Londo/G'Kar in my head!
Yes. Whoo! *cheers loudly* But seriously, go for it. Much as I'm complaining about too little fic being written for them, writing a not-so-polular pairing in a small fandom (at least, compared to ST or HP and assorted giants) has its advantages, too. For one, the feeling that everything's been written (which I get, for example, with ST:TOS) is completely absent here; there's still plenty of uncharted territory left! ;)
As for re-watching, did you know there's a rewatch community here at lj? They're called b5_revisited, and they discuss one episode per week; right now they're about halfway in season 2. The discussions are really fun, and quite in-depth, too.
The Peter David trilogy: mmh, I'm in two minds about it myself. It really does explain a great deal, which I loved, but I didn't find it the literary masterpiece that most of the rave reviews on Amazon seemed to suggest. The lack of G'Kar I didn't mind that much, though it was a bit of a missed opportunity; and P.D. has a pretty decent Londo voice. It was more the writing style I found a bit rushed and/or forced sometimes. But that may have been personal taste, as many people seem to like it a lot anyway.
Of course I don't mind the friending, on the contrary, I'm thrilled - my reader contingent has just gone up by about 30%, imagine that! :D In any case, I hope you'll continue to enjoy what I'm writing.

K/S I've never actively shipped, but I can certainly appreciate fic about them - though I tend to go for the platonic/suggestive rather than the explicit (which is, actually, my preference for most slash). And I can totally understand being intimidated - though, in the line of what you told me with regards to clichéfic, I'd say feeling intimidated is just as unnecessary as feeling apologetic! :)
