If you look at the beginings of the Buffy/Angel novels (more into the hardbacked novels, not the nice, 300 page episode sized ones), you'll notice the majority of the ones approved by Joss (it will say so in the thanks section where they say thanks for the help during the writing) support the Buffy/Angel relationship? I always found that interesting, and comforting as well.
What would really be cool is a novel telling us about the six months between OiS and the BDM. That would be pretty cool.

At dragon con someone on the Serenity Now panel (not a star) said that there was a possibility of short animations to fill in the space between the show and movie. They moved on to another topic and my boyfriend asked them to go back to the animation thing since it was the first most of us had heard of it and they said it would be like animatrix or the short done for The Chronicles Of Riddick (I think was the movie they mentioned). Somone please correct me if I got it wrong and you were there and/or know the whole of it.

^ There are unconfirmed reports based on what one of the Big Damn Extras (Jeremy aka DVDGuy, who runs fireflymovie.com) heard on the set.

The final paperwork still needs to be processed and signed, but this is fairly close to a done deal.
First of all, thanks to Adderblack, Cybersnark, and Lindley for rising to my defense, and Gojiro? Apology happily accepted. Hey, if you've never heard of me, you've never heard of me.
I am very excited to be doing this. I've been a fan of Joss Whedon's work since I first saw Buffy the Vampire Slayer in theatres. It's also a thrill to be working on a Whedon property again, having previously done The Xander Years Volume 1 and helped out on the first edition of The Watchers Guide.
The plan is to release the book in April 2005, 'round the same time as the movie, yes.

First off, welcome to the site Mr DeCandido (or should we call you KRAD or Keith?). It is really great of you to come here and give us the straight scoop.
I must say it is comforting to hear that you are a fan of Joss and his work. I think that will help lay to rest the fears of some of us Browncoats.
Did you ever have the opportunity to see Firefly on television? Have you checked out the series on DVD yet? Any feelings on the show or the characters?
I must admit that I have not read any of your books, though I have heard of you and seen the books at the store. I will make a point to pick up the BtVS novels and check them out though.
I think I can safely say that all Browncoats are waiting w/ bated breath for your novelization. Hopefully it will lead to a line of novels for Firefly/Serenity.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you post again soon.

Should be interesting. Can't wait to read it, no matter who writes it.

No need to be formal. First name or initials are both fine. (I'd prefer Keith, but I've gotten accustomed to being called KRAD, particularly after I sold an Andromeda novel; in Drom fandom, "Keith" is Keith Hamilton Cobb, so I had to be KRAD. But I digress....)
And happy to be here!

Does religiously watching every episode the night it aired and buying the DVD set the day it came out and watching them over and over and over again even before I got this assignment count?
Seriously, love the show, love all the characters, love the setup, eagerly looking forward to getting to play in the universe.

Well, if it is religiously then I guess it counts.
Glad to hear that you are a Browncoat like the rest of us. I think this will assure all of the Browncoats that the novelization is in great hands.
So how many times have you watched the DVD set so far?
I think it is great that you love the characters, setting and show. I envy your being able to write the novelization of the movie. Has Joss approached you about the possiblity of novels set in the Firefly verse?

Great! Thanks again.

Keith, first of all, congratulations!
Secondly, has there been any discussion of Firefly novels beyond the movie tie-in? Either novelizations of episodes (a la BtVS) or new works of fiction based on the characters and established cannon? Would you be up for that?
thanks

I don't know one way or the other if there will be Firefly novels beyond this, to be honest. I'd love a shot at an original novel, certainly.
As to how many times I've watched the DVDs -- gah, I don't know. I long ago lost track.
