Hadn't heard from River in a while. Nice that she actually cut the tension there at the end. Too often she's used the other way around, or just as a plot device.

Not by you Guildsister. Just in general. Thanks for this story.

Great finding out at least part of the secret behind the "Many Books" as well.

Excellent! I absolutely adored the dialogue between Mal and Book especially, so very painful in a gentle almost tender way. Probing deep, seeing far. I have more hope now that the Shepherd will be able to help Zoe and Wash though what the fallout will be *diyu* only knows. This series is just so fabulous, I don't have enough gorram words to thank you properly. Ali D :~)

This story is simply incredible. There's no doubt about that. You have these delightful characters NAILED. I can hear your character's dilogue being spoken by the wonderful actors and actresses of Firefly with absolutely no trouble at all. And the story lines!! So many twists and turns I'm beginning to think I've found my way into a hedge maze. One I am definitely happy on being lost in for quite awhile. Keep the chapters coming!! :-D

I've been reading your stories ever since the first segment of Truthsome, and I must compliment you on your writing. You have really captured all the characters. Their voices, thoughts, and interactions are all right on. If you aren't on your way to becoming a professional writer, you should consider it.

Hi there,
I've just sat down at my computer and spent my entire saturday reading your Blue Sun series..
This is one of the best fanfics I have ever read. Your characterisation and plot is fabulous, and reading it, I've experienced a rollercoaster of emotions.
I can't wait for the next chapter!

Thank you!
Carissa.

PS I did notice, and love, all the Buffy quotes, even if Jayne bastardised them. :)

Wow. Seems like every time I think this story can't possibly come along any better, it does. There is something so lyrical about the conversation between Mal and Book ... *happy sigh* This is awesome, Guildsister, just flat-out awesome.

Beautiful. Painful. Real.

A very shiny Book. " But the pride I’m feeling at that is going to take some atonement of its own." I just loved that! Spot on perfection.

And the way Mal tries to joke his way out of facing the Zoe/Wash/him problem. " Their bed ain’t near big enough for three." I can so hear him saying that.

"Watching the captain’s feet disappear up the stairs, Book wondered if the man had any concept of just how much he loved that woman. But could he love her enough to let her go?" Just about as painful as I could stand at that point. There's some old saw I'm clinging to now - something about if you love someone and let them go and they come back to you ...

I'm left feeling fearful and hopeful and desperate for more.

"...but to the men killed, the size of every war is as small as the diameter of one bullet, and as huge as their entire existence." Wonderful!
