It's post-BDM, pretty much canon, and there are some folk out there that like it.
remarkable, and well written. Thanks for biggin yourself up.
Can't wait for more.

There are some truly good fanfics out there. I found fan fic a few months ago. What I do is check the new posts read the stories that look interesting. If nothing catches my eye I pick a letter and scroll down till I find a story I want to read.
If I like a story I click on the author’s profile and read all their other works. I have found some great ones this way.
Some wonderful authors I have found so far are:
Harriet Vane
Mal4prez
Intopaper
There are others but these come to mind.
Enjoy – Desert Girl

I didn't read the thread, just wanted to throw in my $0.02. These are all from this site:
Leiasky's works are great, though she is a Silee shipper.
mal4prez's stories impressed me very much, she is an excellent writer.
Tamsibling is pretty good too, though another Silee shipper.
ItsaWash writes good Jaylee smut and some pre-series Jayne stuff that is excellent.
I have a couple that are ok, but personally I don't think they are too great.

If you're into Simon/Kaylee, I have a fluff series "Pretty ... pretty" that got some good response. It's a finished series and there's a one-shot post the series called "Am I pretty?". I might make a continuation series at one point or more one-shots, but not until I can fully commit to it again.
My "Fun and Games" (which is more general humor, though with slightly shippy feel to it) series is currently unfinished. It's possible reading the first chapter as one story and just not read the rest until I've posted all of the "Hangover" chapters.
The one-shots are safe, though. All Simon/Kaylee.

HELP!
I've finished ScrewTheAlliance's amazing 'Treasure of damn-I-can-never-get-the-name-right-sorrySTA' and am jonesing bigtime for some new Mal4Prez, I need something that is similar to those two, who I find really have something special (with all due respect to all the great writers out there who I just haven't read yet.)
Action, adventure, psychological intrigue, I'm not a shipper though that doesn't mean I abhor all forms of it.
I need something GREAT to read. I'm seeing stuff that seems pretty good, but I need something GREAT to read.

Well after that I would recommend Mal4Prez and 'The Fish Job' followed by 'Easy Tickets'.
Not as big, but just as good. I actually preferred this as I found The Treasure of fei Long Wu (or something) a bit too big. Not in size (which I loved. I hate looking for new things to read... so I like the stories to be long), but the story was too 'substantial' for me. The BDH's being far too important.

Thank you thank you thank you CaroleJude and NBZ and RismyG!!

Are for other fics - I highly recommend The Blue Sun Job by Guildsister - but it starts with the little fic Truthsome here:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=894
It's got a pretty serious tone and not so goofy as some fic, but she's a great great writer and the Mal/Zoe back story is excellent! In fact - I'm writing my own Mal/Zoe history now (Easy Tickets sequel, yay!) and I've had to convince myself that the things she came up with aren't canon, and I can change them! It just fits the series that well.
BTW, Guildsister's fic is what got me started writing. I kind of borrowed a scene of hers and went from there. (I really should apologize for that - I was ignorant and never asked her permission. *guiltyface* Are you out there, Gsis? Um... sorry! and thank you!)
