So, I've got some 4000 words of the next part of The Slower Path written, but it's not finished yet, and I've kinda stalled a bit again as I've come to the tough parts. I *could* post the first half of it, about 2600 words worth, as Part 1 of 2, now, or I wait until I wrangle the rest of it and post the whole thing once it's done... I prefer to post in contained parts (it gets messy otherwise, like it did with Choices) but I also hate making people wait when they've been asking for it (and when I look back and realize it was friggen January last time we posted a TSP update), and also because, you know, I'd like to post it... Hrmmm....

All these months, I've been sticking Firefly posters on my toolbox, mentioning it in conversation, shown folks the FFF website, but not pushing it. No, "It's the greatest thing since...., well, like ever... ya gotta watch it", just, "I like this thing-- It's available for free on Hulu." Finally one of my co-workers said, "Hey, I ran out of stuff to look at over the weekend, so I checked out a couple of episodes of this Firefly thing. It's good. I think I'm about 90 % hooked. I gotta watch another episode when I get home tonight. Maybe a couple..." He's hooked on "that girl, the smart, crazy one, with her brother the Doctor." He watched the Big Damn Pilot and The train Job, and he finds it hard to believe that he hasn't seen the best stuff yet. Les'see, what else did he get? Got a pretty accurate reading on Simon, River and the Tam family, just from the Pilot. Flipped out over the crew salvaging the "treasure", which turned out to be food bars. Liked Mal tossing Crow thru the engine. Does seem like he missed most of our favorite stuff-- no reaction to Jayne, Wash, Zoe, or The Shepard. Nothing on Badger or Patience. Not much reaction to Inara. Didn't have anything to say about Wash's dinos.Missed the point of Mal shooting Patience's horse, and Dobson, but got it quick when I mentioned them. But he's a lot more than 90 % hooked, if he's gotta watch more late at night, since we both work swing shift.
