Well, Peter David has proved that he can write to others' outlines, like all his Babylon 5 novels "based on an outline by J. Michael Straczynski."

And yes, any Firefly novels would be bought by me immediately.

Assuming they come to Canada, of course, 'cause I've had that happen.

Looked at all the Star Wars and Star Trek books...(lame)

Some of them are lame, yes, but some of them are great. That goes for both Wars and Trek, by the way.

As with anything in sufficient quantity, the results end up all over the spectrum. I'd put DS9: A Stitch in Time up against any other media tie-in you'd care to name, and I'd bet it would compare favorably. Heck, it'd do OK against non-tie-in works as well. Similar deal with some of the better Star Wars stuff......none of it would really work well standalone, but in context, some of it is absolutely phenomenal.

That said, I'd gobble up Firefly or Serenity novels like there was no tomorrow, if they were written.

Nope. Radegund, posting on the original official board, reported from the DragonCon in Atlanta:

"The one new piece of news that came out is that there will be a novelization of the movie and it will be written by Keith DeCandido. "

I've never heard of him.

If you google him, you can find his webpage. He wrote some Buffy novelizations, some Star Trek, some Farscape. I guess if Joss liked him enough after seeing his Buffy work to hire him for Serenity, he must have some talent.

I think it's a great idea. I would certainly be interested, but I think the stories should be approved by Joss for continuities' sake.

I would definitely read Firefly novels, I hope Joss OK's that. He should absolutely have some kind of control over them, if he's not writing them.

Yes, it was at Wizard World Chicago where someone asked Joss about Firefly novels. I don't recall him exactly saying that he didn't like the Buffy / Angel novels. What he did say was that he didn't like the fact that he had no control over what was written. And, once you lose control, you have no idea what was or wasn't done in any of the stories, which can confound the continuity some.

That's exactly the problem JMS had with the original B5 novels (but if you will allow John Vornholt to play in your backyard, you can expect him to leave some to clean up.

With the 3 trilogies, he provided the outlines, so the novels all can be considered largely canon and added to the overall story arcs.

I would rather see a Firefly comic, as poor writing could render a novelization rubbish.

Also, WHEN DID JOSS SAY HE DIDN'T LIKE ANGEL/BUFFY NOVELIZATIONS?! Has he read Monolith by John Pasarella and Cursed by Mel Odom?!

In an unrelated matter, all Buffy comics suck. Fray was good though, since Joss wrote it.
