'Heh. Some Firefly alums are going to write short stories, that’s all.' Hmmm, Jane Espenson, Jose Molina and Ben Edlund.

Well, novels are good, yes, but short stories and novellas, if done well, can capture more of the "episodic" feel of a TV series.
Most novels feel they have to keep trying to "top" themselves, or only tell stories that can span 500 pages. They tend to be plot-heavy; short stories can do more character-based vignettes where there's no Major Life-Changing Event happening.

I take your point though it doesnt have to be the case. In any event I was talking only from the point of view that full novels would entail more reading.
I love the fanfic on this site but I have yet to find a good way of reading them. How do you guys read the online fanfiction? I cant stand to sit for too long reading off the screen and printing them out is very time consuming not to mention the reams of paper required.

Mostly? I suspect my eyesight will start going. Worse. So very, very poorly.

Scriptwriters writing 'short stories' (story treatments!) for 'practice'...
Can't stop 'the Signal'...

My head may explode.
This is pretty darn shiny, esp with the cessation of Faux's contractual hold on the franchise ceasing in a few years....
