Greetings all brown coats. i just was wondering if anyone has heard of any scifi writers putting pen to paper to write stories for our wonderful crew. Like the star trek and star wars universe, they have wonderful stories on paper to continue the adventure, I think they would sell (im a bit biased) What do all of you think?

I would LOVE to read Firefly novels--the more the better.

I'd love to write 'em too, and have asked my agent to inquire as to the prospects of such a thing.

I'd be willing to bet that there will, at the very least, be a novelization of the Serenity movie timed with its release. I'd be curious to see who pens it.

I was thinking about that just yesterday when I was in the bookstore looking for something new to read. Looked at all the Star Wars and Star Trek books...(lame) and thought to myself, damn, they need to get some writers doing some Firefly. I would definately read them, be even better if they made some Firefly comics though.

I believe that there is a Firefly comic in the works. Can't wait!

By the way (shameless self-promotion) you can read MY comic "The continuing Adventures of Fat Man and Little Boy..." in Plastic Farm issue #9, in comic shops everywhere March, 2005...!

Seriously, I hope that Firefly gets to spin off into all sorts of great novels, comics, games, toys, etc...

Yes a comic is in the works(most likely with dark horse) As far as novels other than a movie novel,Joss was asked that(I believe at wizard chicago con)and he said since he didn't like most of the buffy/angel novels he may hold off on the books because these characters are still new and he has a certain story to be told(something along those lines)kind of how lucas wont let certain stories be told in the sw novels,but hey a comic written by joss or other series writers on a monthly basis sounds great.....for now.
God,i'm gonna be broke after the movie comes out.

novels would be great if they were written by joss...or maybe peter david. i liked his star trek books. his wit seems similar to joss'.

i tried to kep up with the star wars and star trek books, but gave up when they started cranking them out as such a rate that the quality and continuity suffered.

I have seen some fine fanfics posted here...

I would buy a collection of Firefly shortstories written by the fans, wouldn't that be a cool idea ?

I truly, with all my heart and soul, hope to your god that Peter David never goes anywhere near anything to do with Firefly. Not that I don't like Peter David, but.... Of course, I wouldn't like any writer who wouldn't be on Joss' leash, subservient to Joss' will. I fear the worst for Firefly and all the characters if Joss were to ever lose control.

Yes, it was at Wizard World Chicago where someone asked Joss about Firefly novels. I don't recall him exactly saying that he didn't like the Buffy / Angel novels. What he did say was that he didn't like the fact that he had no control over what was written. And, once you lose control, you have no idea what was or wasn't done in any of the stories, which can confound the continuity some.
