Hi I'm a newbie. I only discovered Firefly/Serenity 2 months ago. Posted just a few times here. I've been reading up on fanfic ettiquette and still am not sure how to get a beta. One just asks nicely apparently...sooo help please.

I am trying to write a "shooting" script (similar to what Whedon does in Firefly the official companion). I have a teaser written and would like some help making sure it is acceptable.

This episode I'm attempting is BDS2 (after Serenity-- Hey, I can dream there will be a series again, right?). I attempt to stay canon but do introduce OC. The episode will attempt to address Jayne's history and River's role in the show now that she is so powerful. I also hope to add a new mystery similar in concept to the Blue Hand men that can be woven across future episodes.

But for now I only have the teaser written, though I think it might stand alone.

So anybody out there?

To paraphrase Kaylee: Whedon's Firefly is just so lush. I want to take a bite out of it all over, you know?

I'm a beta, and I'd be glad to read your script although I've usually just done stuff in story form, what would you be looking for me to comment on?

Thanks for your help. I'm looking to know if the characters sound like themselves, if the script format manages to convey enough description to make the story palatable and any other ideas you might have on how to make the piece better.

PS how do I send you the script?

By the way, nice signature.
