Check out any of the Whedonverse websites and you will find thousands of fictional stories based on the shows from Joss Whedon such as Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Firefly has now joined the prestigious ranks of fan fiction status.
There just weren't enough episodes of Firefly but during the show's short life, a loyal army of fans grew to love it and really care about it. So much so, those people have gathered on FireflyFans.net and written many fan fictions spawned from the series, in an effort to get their Firefly fix and keep the show alive.
The stories are written by amateur authors but you'd be a fool to let this put you off. The writers are obviously talented and have a deep understanding of the show, it's characters and it's surroundings. Coupled with passion, the stories shine. They give the readers a chance to see what might have been had the show not been axed prematurely.
If you are a "Browncoat", the name given to any Firefly fan, get yourself over to FireflyFans.net and indulge yourself in the fabulous stories. They will see you through until the movie Serenity hits our screens in early 2005, and no doubt, that, too, will inspire the Browncoats to continue telling their stories of Mal, Kaylee, Jayne, Zoe, Wash, Book, Inara, River and Simon.
Here's a taster of what you can find at FireflyFans.net:
CHECK MATE: Black Queen back to start, Red Queen moved into position.
Written by Kispexi2
Mal drains his coffee which tastes nearly as bitter as he feels right now. Sure is glad he di'n't make a ruttin' fool of himself by making unwanted declarations of love to his shuttle tenant. Anyway, right now he ain't so certain that he does love her. He knows he loves Serenity – she gives him everything he needs and asks for nothin' in return, 'cept fuel and the odd spare part. He knows too that he loves Kaylee because he wants to give her everything and needs nothin' back other than her smile and joy in living. His feelings for Inara are jus' too gorram complicated. He wants to take from and give to her in equal measure. Trouble is he's not sure he's got a right to the one nor resources enough for the other. Best leave it alone. There's pain aplenty in this 'verse. No point in grabbin' more'n your fair share. |
