been reading some from a mess o' sci-fi movies and shows... and - dammit - they suck! even the ones linked to shows i really admire...

over the past cuppla years...
(while i have heard fan fiction put down so often i've taken to forcing feeding it to people who mouth off!)

... i have read FAR better stuff HERE - and on other sites for various fandoms - than i can find between the crappily photo-shopped covers of a paper back.

why do they contract this stuff out to such hacks???

yeh yeh - jut call me Rhetorical Butler, Gone with the Whined!

i'm not talking about the serenity novel, which atleast has a feel for the language of the verse - and knows a degree of back story - jayne's scene in out of gas, atherton wing etc... and has funny lines/descriptions, such as the operative enjoying 'kicking the sh*t out of malcolm reynolds'.

keep flyin:)

I try and steer clear of most tie-in stuff, simply because it seems to be nothing more than a cynical ploy to separate the gullible and their (insert currency of choice.)
