Well, now I want to know if I'd live up to your standards, so if you wouldn't mind: http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=7808 this is chapter on of my fanfic "Over the Hills and Far Away". I originally intended it to be Mal/Inara centric, but then... well, it doesn't really feel like Firefly unless you've got the whole crew together. I have five chapters up right now.

I'm very interested if it is up to your standards. Please, let me know.

Also, do you have a list of fic you like? I think that would be a quality list. You should put it in your profiel or something.

Main focus is a very plausible River/Jayne (it's been nominated for a Rayne award) but also involves S/K and, lately, M/I. IMO the first chapter is slightly weak but the rest is great.

This link takes you to Ch. 17 of the series, can you post a link to the first chapter? I have yet to figure out how to navigate easily through LJ (is there even a way??) and couldn't find my way to the first chapter. I'm really interested in reading a plausible Rayne fic, mainly because most of what I've read in that area hasn't been plausible (authors tend to take these two out of character too much to make this pairing).

Thanks!

This thread seems to have turned into an opportunity for people to plug their writing and to try to get me to tell them that their fiction is up to the standard I set in the originating post. (With a few exceptions none of it has even come close, leaving me to find a polite way to say so after reading exactly the kind of writing I said in the original post that I am trying to avoid.) As a result, I'm not going to read posts to it anymore--so those who hope to get me to read their work, don't bother. If people find the thread helpful for recommendations, and want to read self-promoted work, that's great, but I'm finding that it's been twisted to uses other than those I intended.

Squish - http://eustacia-vye28.livejournal.com/?skip=60 is the page with it on, about halfway down.

If that doesn't work you could just go to http://eustacia-vye28.livejournal.com/ and surf back via the "back" button below the user picture till you get to the entry that includes chapter 1. At the moment you have to go three pages back to find it.

Eloisa,

Thank you for the link. 'Next of Kin' is a lovely story. Though I don't normally read anything Jayne/River centric, its amazingly held my attention. I've been thoroughly enjoying the Simon/Kaylee and family parts.

The recomendations people have made have been great. I spent all last night searching through some of the sites posted here and found some great stories.

Perhaps someone should start another thread for story recomendations so the originator of this one can stop having to wade through the unsatisfactory recomendations posted by so many people.
