Welcome to my Blastr blog #2! That's right, friends! Because all of you faithfully followed my online links and shameless plugs and so very loyally told all of your friends to read it too, this blog was a small success and they let me write another one! So where do we start??

Oh, I know. How about Dragon*Con?

I wonder how much of her things on Firefly she actually thinks. Although I like her ideas about Jayne.

"I really am ruggedly handsome, aren't I?"

I'll match Jewel's $20 and raise her another $20.

And I thought my imagination was out there………LOL!
Always great to read up on the ideas of a Firefly alumni. I never pass up the opportunity.

Oh, dear, why, oh. why, does Inara keep DYING in Mal's arms?

Can't he realize anything without her having to die...horribly?

There's just something really...engaging...about a pretty person dying tragically.

I would much rather have Inara die, and Mal realize nothing, and learn nothing from the experience. He could retreat into deeper bitterness and nihilism, and shoot hella people.

Or, in the alternative, they could smooch a lot without dying.

Either is cool.

I’d much prefer Mal dying in his sleep, Inara realizing, what we already know, which is, he is a violent bitter person, and then Inara and I could go shopping and do lunch together.

Would it be a peaceful, sleepy death, or more like a Reaver eating him as he naps?

You and Inara would likely enjoy lunch, and shopping, but spend the entire time talking about Mal.

And because this is the future and vast discoveries have been made in the world of medicine, Jayne is pregnant with their first child.


Kaylee writes mpreg! You see? My crazy rantings are TOTALLY VINDICATED!

It's super boring in space when you don't have Reavers on your tail and nothing has blown up. Seriously, what else would they do but write hilarious and/or kinky stories about each other?

I mean, besides browse the cortex while they're supposed to be working.

Also, Jewel's thoughts on future Firefly are both hilarious and insightful. I too imagine Saffron with Jayne in the future, Jayne's even more gullible than Mal. It would be her most favourite backstab relationship ever, oh, and their baby, which Jayne is somehow carrying? COMPLETE SURPRISE. Saffron is just that good.

I'd love to see River with her own ship. I'd also love to see Zoe with her own ship. Maybe they can co-captain.

REM death, no heroics, he never wakes up.

It would take a legion of my sisters and I to wipe Mal from Inara’s conscious, pity, she has so much potential to be a real character.

Jayne writes stories about "rippen mussels n sweat purin don his shudders likk demons. Gun wuz bukkin innis hens n shot his lode."

Also, beer and naked women, and an ecclectic collection of whores that the Gary Stu author avatar main character has accumulated via rescue or them throwing themselves to their knees at his feet. But only if you turn the page sideways and squint at the mispelling.

i ojbect to the use of the term "gary stu" to describe a male raging suethor, when there is the perfectly serviceable "mary sue", which also has the added impact of making the suethor all girly.

also, jayne writes more like Mitch Album, and whoever the blackgaurd is who inflicted The Shack on the world.

I am, a fan, of My Immortal, which, I find to be fascinating, on a variety of levels, all of which relate to authors' grammar, which while important, is not as important, as use of grammar on a forum.

Ringo is a revelation but still properly a Mary Sue.

In short...

Kaylee: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Shipping, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PairTheSpares, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Polyamory, and http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WAFF

Wash: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrackFic

Zoe: First Mate's Log version of http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CaptainsLog. Text based, as in Bushwhacked. Occasionally refers to Wash as "Swoogums" bracketed by heart symbols. Random overlap with Wash's crackfic whenever he gets in here.

River: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrackFic http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagicalLand http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Conlang

Simon: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Diary.

Jayne: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SelfInsertFic http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TestosteronePoisoning

Mal: Grammatically correct http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Troll. Secretly writes http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AccusationFic targeted at himself. May also write poetry, as he apparently knows some.

Inara: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Lime http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlternateUniverseFic http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PurpleProse

I can back most of these up with canon evidence (except maybe Zoe, but it seems likely).

Furthermore, I suspect that since Simon is most likely a little bit of a geek, he also has a hidden fondness for steampunk with wrench wench heroines. He might also like spy thrillers.

I'm really not sure at all what Book might write. Crime Drama? That is, if he does - he may be the only exception to the insanity.

I demand you furnish your canon evidence; I also demand you write a short fic, in the voice of each character, demonstrating your proposition.

If my demands are not met, I will respond with violence and/or fic of my own.

Also, there is no such thing as "testosterone poisoning"--just testosterone intoxication.

I agree on Simon and spy thrillers, and not only because of my silly fanfic pertaining to that.

MB: If you haven't read Better Days yet, maybe you should. XD

The characters sit around telling stories about what they want to do with a crap ton of money they've stumbled over. :) Things are implied.

Although the one about Mal is from Take The Sky.

Kaylee ships herself and Simon a lot (obviously), and she also clearly ships Mal and Inara, and if we allow Jewel Staite here to speak for Kaylee, and infer that Kaylee also goes for Jayne/Saffron and mpreg, especially considering what Saffron DID to them and how most people wouldn't be immediately trying to pair Saffron off, it's pretty safe to claim Kaylee ships everyone x everyone. :)

Wash does crack fic every time he plays with his dinosaurs.
