General Query From a Concerned Browncoat: Can anybody throw any light on the process by which SciFi makes it's programing and backing decisions? As I suspect many people feel - unfortunately they seem drawn toward mediocrity. Considering the money they seem to have has Joss ever approached them?

Serenity is not going to be playing this weekend near me! *cries* I was going to drag my best friend...and I mean drag, kicking and screaming. We agreed that I'd go to a stupid anime convention if she saw Serenity. Now that can't happen! I have to work tonight so I can't even go see it one more time....my day has just been ruined. Really, I'm about to cry. And she's not going to see why I'm upset...doesn't understand why supporting Serenity is so important to me. *sigh* I think I need chocolate now.

Two weeks and one day into being a Firefly fan, and I'm now at the end of my rope. The DVD set is over, the movie's gone (from my city anyway), and I'm still painfully obsessed with the show. At least I'm not alone. Almost everyone I see around here seems to be a tortured new fan like me. It's wonderful and cathartic to talk to everyone here about it... but I've still got this show screaming through my veins and just can't get it out. I think the only way I'm going to get any peace from it is to deface it with a fanfic and express what's haunting me. The story that needs to be told is already taking shape in my head, unfortunately. What I used to do when writing a fic was just put the characters in the scene and let [b]them[/b] tell it, with me just sort of pointing them in the right direction. But this Verse is so intricate with the Chinese and the unusual slang, I don't know that I can trust myself to do that with a Firefly fic. Not once so far have I casually thrown out the word "shiny" in a post. And not only am I still finding my footing on that level, I haven't written a fic of [b]any[/b] kind in almost five years. :crap: This could get ugly. I don't really feel like I have a choice, though. I've gotta do it. Sorry. If you're reading this and are curious about my writing style (and a little masochistic), you can read a Faith-centric Buffy fic I wrote between seasons 4 and 5 (summer 2000) here:
