just watched'serenity' again last night. i remember when it first showed in theatres. i wasn't familiar with any of the actors, but i'm a big sci-fi/fantasy fan and wouldn't miss it. there's just not that much sci-fi being put out. loved it! i kept turning to my companions asking 'who are these people? where did this come from?' in a dazed and happy voice. then some friends told me about 'firefly'. haven't had tv for 6 yrs or so (didn't have electricity with which to run the thing!. well, recently that changed. so i've finally had the opportunity to watch the 'firefly' series on dvd. what a delight! the acting is top-notch, the special effects are good, the setting is believable and well-conceived, the people are folk that most of us can relate to without being too predictable, and the writing is amazing: intelligent and very funny. very few films/shows make me laugh out loud like this one. the outtakes (a particular fetish of mine) for the movie had me giggling like an idiot- a very happy idiot. apparently i'm not alone in my ardent -if belated- admiration. the story behind this quirky sci-fi has only added to it's charm for me and i'm sorry i wasn't in the mix when it was all going down. it is a rare and beautiful thing for story telling to touch so many in the way this has. as a writer and performer- in various medium and genre- i'm thrilled to see someone do their art so well, in a way that speaks so intimately to me. and the 'firefly' and 'serenity' projects involve several of these someones. fabulous job, one and all! i'm somewhat sad that i've seen all there is to see of it now. all there is to see so far anyway... oh- and i'm new here. hear?

Okay, I know I said I wasn't gonna post any more stories, other than to finish up Archangel, which I'm doing slowly. Then Jane0904 posted 'The Couch' based on my one shot of "Jayne's Rules of Marriage". It was great! I loved it, laughed the whole time I was reading it. So I decided to post the rules here, just so folks wouldn't have to go looking elsewhere for them. Then everyone wanted to know if River had any rules, and of course, she did, so I posted them as well. And yes, that means I have, I think, already violated every last one of my New Years Resolutions. I'm just not very dedicated. That's got to be it. And I never meant that I wouldn't be around, still reading. THis is a GREAT site, full of very cool people, and home to some awesome writers. My stories, though, just didn't seem to be received all that well, which, hey, that's life! But I think I'll post more of my Rules series here, just because the first two got such good feed back. I only write fanfic to entertain. I figure if it ain't entertaining, then I'm not doing it right, that's all.
