My e-mail has been sporadic all day…if you need me, use my g-mail savvix at gmail.com and I’ll answer…provided I don’t take a hammer to the laptop first.

And…

Happy Birthday, geekluvinskater! Happy Birthday to you!

First I need to say I don´t have a clue who you´re talking about in your story, I don´t know the characters or the backround. Nevertheless the story works for me and that´s because of your way with words.
If Serenity doesn’t feel right, Kaylee knows; feels it like a mother wakes from the dead sleep of deepest night to hurry unbidden to the side of a babe, feeling a sudden fever, wiping away a sleeping tear This line is plainly perfect.

I know, concrits are useful and needed to improve, but I think, to find a forum like lastficstanding where all writers are playing by it´s rules is the best way to get concrits, because they mean business and you know they don´t want to "hurt" you but help you.
I have to confess that I follow the "If you don't have anything nice to say..." philosophy of commenting. Since I´m a non-native speaker I would never dare to "rub salt in someones wound ( ... )

Firefly was a short lived sci-fi series and Serenity was a follow up movie. Think outer space meets American western. Characters were incredibly beautiful and complex. Dialogue was great, cinematography and costuming were simply gorgeous. The whole thing is brilliant. You should check it out...it really is genius.

Thank you for your kind words Heike...you are always so lovely and generous with comments and support. You mean the world to me. *hugs*

And the dog opera is very funny. They play with each other through the fence when nobody is looking...but when they see me coming it's major dog drama.

This was good, even if I don't really get the fandom. I've seen parts of the movie, but never any of the show. But I did like this part a lot.

Serenity knows how to be strong and she is teaching River, too. When River walks she walks careful inside of Serenity…places her foot lightly, delicately. Serenity is made of metal and metal is made of molecules and molecules hold together by attraction and she doesn’t want to break the attraction by the force of her steps, doesn’t want to hurt Serenity, ship or crew. If she steps gently, the attraction will hold and so will her home.

It really spoke to me about her relationship with the ship on such a minute level.

Thank you for the comments, sweetie.

I think you would love the show. I saw the movie before I saw the series but I love every minute of both. It is all brilliant. I think you (And Steve) would love it.

I think parts of the fic are very nearly perfect, but others are off. Would you like more detailed commentary here or elsewhere?
