As to your question about novels/books - Joss Whedon has refused thus far to allow any author to write or publish any stories from Firefly or Serenity (other than the novelization of the film). I choose to believe it's because he is hoping (like us!) to one day be able to continue the stories as he sees them.

What helps for me is to listen to the various podcasts...

And also, if you Google "firefly review", you'll find articles from all over the world that show the love for our show that you feel.
Some of my favorites...

One thing confuses me. With such a huge fanbase, I'm really surprised novels haven't been written. I remember being at the bookstore and seeing novels for Halo. Halo! A videogame! And obviously Star Trek and Star Wars have a huge library of books. There are even a handful of books for Lost.

Firefly doesn't warrant a handful of licensed books? They would be pure gold for Browncoats.



Steven Brust has put his novel online as a fanfic.

And I can't get "The Ballad of Serenity" out of head to save my life! I gotta be honest, I hated the song at first, but as I watched the show more and more, the song fit perfectly and is the best tribute possible to the show. I love the song now!


I felt exactly the same way you did when I first heard this song....but it really grew on me and I just love it now! May I also suggest that you look into purchasing the soundtrack from the series? This also helps when you can't watch the DVDs because as you are listening to the CD....it takes you back in your mind to the scene when the music played. To me, it's the next best thing to actually watching the DVDs.

Anyways, as everyone else has already said....welcome aboard!!!

haha, the devil, now thats what I call a "Quote";)

As I´m not living in the US, I´m not so familiar with those networks, but it sems, watching from a distance, why arent all good writers and directors work for a channel like SHOWTIME, they never seem to cancel their shows, they are all totally on the edge, they give their new shows time and they do great.

Dexter, Queer as Folk, Weeds, Brotherhood, The Tudors, Californication, all amazing shows in my opinion, all very edgy, witty and different.

If I would be a writer or a creator of new shows I would only like to work with them.

Cheers

Popping in here to say hi and welcome to our newest Browncoat(s). I've got a suggestion for you: go read Virtual Firefly (link's in my sig, but if it doesn't work, type in http://www.stillflying.net); coming purely from the POV of a fan (regardless of my involvement in it), it's a great way to keep the goodness that is the Firefly-verse alive.
