*snickers* I like. Especially Nat turning up as a daddy.

[mhalachaiswords]

Thanks. I had been thinking of the plot angle for a while, but discounted it as a bit too Mary Sueish. Then I read the first bit of the next Anita book, and thought, "wait a minute. she has sex twice a day. stuff happens." (and yes, I do think in lowercased letters)

Plus Nathaniel'd be a great dad, especially at age 503.

Hey, given I think in dyslexia.....

[irish_dragon]

Well completely off topic, looks like you like Ruth Thompson and elfquest!

[cissasghost]

I like how this turned out - it's been a while since I've watched Firefly, but the characters seem about as I remember them, and your Anita voice is perfect as always.

Thanks. I needed to push out this introduction, and it felt like a good place to stop. It develops conflict, ends on a rather important plot point, and this way I can open the next chapter with a C&C scene. Always good.

(C&C=chocolate and coffee. mmmm.)

I do not know how you can do this and the drabbles and Inevitable. But please, keep doing it.

This was very interesting. The Firefly universe is a fascinating one. (Does Serenity open on September 30th in Canada too?) It's rich with situations. I can see Anita and Mal going head to head a lot. (Not necessarily in this story but in general. I can also see her scaring the heck out of Jayne.)

[mhalachaiswords]

I do it because I can't not, which may sound silly, but I've learned not to fight the inspiration.

I think FF opens up here the same time as down there. Most movies usually do. I'm trying very hard not to look for spoilers, but I've been looking at promo photos and am noticing a very glaring absence. I'm all a flutter with questions. That I will try very hard not to ask :)

[sabriel_0405]

Glaring absence? Shouldn't be any. At least not that I remember. I was at the edge of my seat the entire time. I can't wait to see it with the appropriate music, credits and special effects.

[mhalachaiswords]

So the absence of Book from the group photos isn't plot-worthy?

[child_labor]

Your stories never fail to leave me excited. This looks like it'll be really interesting. I loved the line about Kaylee needing to feel shiny. And I absolutely can't wait to see ... well, pretty much how -any- of the characters react to each other. This is definitely cool.

[mhalachaiswords]

I figured that Early scared Kaylee something good. Jewel had a fine piece of acting in that last episode.

We'll all see how it goes, soon :)

Two words: Kick ass.

[mhalachaiswords]

Thank you :)

[emeraldswan]

Very nice River icon, by the way. :)

[mhalachaiswords]

Thanks. It's supposed to read, Little feet in my head, and I made it with this story in mind. Because River's always interesting to write ;)
