My First Firefly fanfic

Thursday, February 9, 2006 5:04 AM

I just posted my first firefly fan fic. It makes me nervous. Doing the Serenity Tarot cards was fun because I've never worked with photoshop before and it was just sort of relaxing, but writing is completely different. I've been writing short stories since I was about thirteen. I'm an English major. It's more than a hobby for me... In fact, in an attempt to take my writing more seriously, I once took a vow never to write fan fic after high school. But, for better or worse, I felt motivated to break it.

So, wish me luck, and please, if you like the story, tell me so and harass me about getting the next chapter done. I've posted chapter one and have half of chapter two written already. I actually have an outline that goes all the way to the end of the story. If all goes well this will be the first novel-length anything I have ever completed (or my second novella, we'll see). So please, help a browncoat out...

Here's the descrption I have posted:
Set after OIS. Much to Inara’s chagrin, Mal accepts a job offer that takes Serenity far away from New Melbourne and to an unremarkable moon called Three Hills. With Inara’s promise to leave looming over them like a shadow and the job on Three Hills becoming more potentially deadly at each turn, Mal and Inara begin to retreat into their memories while all the while trying to find out what’s going on in their present… assuming they survive to find out. Also, Simon turns to Book for help when with his latest attempt to woo Kaylee, Zoe takes River under her wing, and circumstances lead to and unlikely partnership between Jayne and…

I loved the pre-romance between Mal and Inara, so if you loved it too, this fic is for you. In fact, originally I was just going to write M/I romance nonsense, but then I felt that all the characters rule so much that I needed to have all of them in the story. Book gets to play good-guy. Simon gets to be adorable, awkward Simon. Wash gets to fret over Zoe's upcoming birthday. Jayne... well, he gets to do interesting things too.

Okay, I think this is enough self-promoation for one evening (what can I say? I am excited and want people to read). So, peace.
