Firefly (TV series)/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

* ''Synopsis'': Characters are spot on and all in [[Original Flavor]]. Plot revolves around Mal, but everyone is here and used to great effect. Also, Mal/Inara heavy, but hey, if you like them, this is for you.

 

* Recommended by Ryan Lohner

* ''Synopsis'': Simply put, a continuation of the series based [[Original Flavor|entirely on Joss Whedon's vision.]] The series is continued in script form and the occasional illustration past the point the actual show left off, with the remainder of season one and the first half of season two building to the film ''Serenity'', and the second half of season two being the events of that film spread out over twelve hours instead of just two. Naturally, this allows for far greater depth and nuances than Whedon himself was able to do.

* ''Synopsis'': A number of [[Original Flavor]] fics. Two complete ones, ''Kaylee's Lament'' and ''The Treasure of Lei Fong Wu'' (the latter of which, if made in print form, would doubtlessly be a [[Doorstopper]]), and one still-in-progress, ''Unfinished Business''. Superb stories with flawless characterization. A must-read for any browncoat worthy of the name.

* ''Synopsis'': Sadly not updated in a while, but what you find at The Virtual Sessions are really really great pieces of work. They fit almost perfectly, with a great blend of humour, drama, and easy plausability.

* ''Synopsis'': Started before the [[Big Damn Movie]], this follows the crew as the group of [[True Companions]] grows by five; a [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|Heroically Scarred]] tank commander, his [[Henpecked Husband|loving yet dominant wife]] and their two-point-five children - the firstborn a semi-fascistic [[Badass]]-in-training named for the ''flying tank she was conceived in''. They get into increasingly greater amounts of trouble, each catastrophe only averted by increasingly [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent]] [[Violence Really Is the Answer|Violence]], applied mostly by River. After battles with cops, bandits and secret agents, the Alliance's hunt for River goes so hot that the crew is driven beyond the Rim Worlds, where they start slaughtering ''Reavers''. Finally, they make an amazing discovery; {{spoiler|An Independent [[The Remnant|Remnant]] numbering in the thousands flying ''their own rutting Battlecruiser''. With River leading them, the Rim is about to Rise Again!}}

* ''Comments'': It's entertaining to say the least. The author knows the characters inside and out and has a very unusual way of looking at River's differences.

* ''Synopsis'': The pieces are there, but they just don't seem to *fit*. (River-centric.)

* ''Comments'': The word I'd use to describe this one is "realistic." The relationship between River and Jayne is complex and painful for both of them, and handled with an impressive degree of finesse and respect. They both feel like realistic people with realistic flaws, and shift their personalities (Jayne softening and becoming a tired and regretful man, and River hardening and becoming more cynical and bitter) feels true to the events and history between them. And despite their flaws, disagreements, and anger, one can't help but hope for them to get back together. Also, a stealth crossover with {{spoiler|[[Dollhouse]]}}
