You remember Steven; he wrote a Firefly novel for Pocket Books, hoping it would be selected as one of two originals they were to publish. When that didn't work out, he released it under a Creative Commons license:

The quote is all whimsy

Nevermind, I'll go back to my hum-drum life now

Keith R. A. DeCandido has written Farscape stories. Why not more stories for our canceled TV show?

That's what I've been asking for five damn years... In fact I was putting more stock in at least getting a series of books there for a long time, then I was in the show returning. I mean, when I was a kid I read all the Trekkie books and would be so thrilled to have a set of Firefly ones.

It makes me really wonder if Joss wants to do them himself, doesn't wanna do anything in case the show gets green-lighted again, or just doesn't wanna have anything to do with the books period. Seems fishy to me.... I mean we're all here and waiting, surely a book or two wouldn't mess up a show return- they already gave backstory on the good Shepard...

I just don't get it. Can someone ask him at the next convention or whatever if he ever plans to do some FF books?? Please?? Fer me? Lonely midwestern housewife whose main goal in life is some FF books- hold on let me break out the tiny violin, and the tears... Pweeease.. *sniff. Blows nose.
Thank you...

Maybe our tactic should not be to ask Joss about it, but rather try to interest other professional writers to produce their own fanfic. Brust can't be the only one who completed a story in anticipation of publication. Orson Scott Card has said that Firefly was the best SF show ever on TV, surely he might have an idea or two to contribute.

Okay, so if they write books would they have to be cannon, or could they be AU cannon. Because there are umpteen Star Wars books and not everyone considers them cannon, many Star Wars fans never read the books. Could it be like that?

Me too!

The graphic novels are fine, but I want real Firefly books with no pictures and lots of words! Trust me - the pictures I make up in my head when I read are far better than anything a comic book artist can come up with.

I want chapters, dang it!!

Amen!!

I read one fanfic novel called "The Losing Side" that was soo good I sometimes get confused about storylines and my brain thinks it WAS cannon, darnit. It's a wee bit hard to read with the copywrite stuff in the way, but I still managed...
If you can keep it separate in your head, I recommend it, just do a search for the title and Firefly fanfic... If anyone has read that and can recommend others I might like I would read them. Ever since the first day I came here I found a really bad fanfic and haven't had the courage to wander back in the Blue Sun Room since then. *shudders. Still can't get the picture outta my head.......
