Hello, does anyone possibly know if any sci-fi books have been written that will help tie up the "Firefly" series? It's frustrating to see good programs yanked off of different networks without any kind of closure. Glad to see a new movie coming out soon. Thanks. Blessings,

Magee

Hello, Rivergirl!

Oh, joy! Do you possibly know the name of the author? I can keep looking on Amazon. Oh, yes...I definitely would absolutely love sequels galore! I so enjoyed the series because it was about 'just regular folk,' and very unique--not more of the 'same-old-same-old' one usually sees on sci-fi. ...And, I do love the South and immediately saw from the first episode the correlation between Joss Whedon's storyline and the Civil War between North and South.

'Also, I can kill you with my brain.' LOL!!!

River! I love that girl. Jayne was surely watching his backside after that!

My hubby bought me the DVDs, and we have been able to see 3 episodes that never aired in our area. Sometimes other areas get things we don't. Frustratin'. ...Like Stephen King's 'Kingdom Hospital.' I thought nobdy got to see the rest of that program either, but when I went to visit my mother in Nevada (we live in Upstate New York), I saw that part of the very last episode in Carson City! I feel so cheated.

Am hoping to find that on DVD, too--as they finally did with 'Rose Red.'

Thanks so much for your very kind help. Many blessings to you and yours,

Magee

KRAD is a frequent and articulate contributer to this site.

Yes, I've ordered the book.

Hello, Keith,

KRAD has written at least one 'Firefly' book? Since I'm a newby here, how do I find KRAD, and how does one go about purchasing his book? Thanks so much, Keith. Many blessings to you and yours,

PotemkinVillager,

Oops! So sorry I called you Keith. I looked more closely at your note and realized that you had meant 'Keith' is KRAG's first name. Mea culpa. I looked at your profile, since I couldn't find KRAG's (can't find a search for profiles unless you wanna sit there and go thru zillions of postings 'til you find the individual for whom you are looking), and found your link to Amazon for Keith DeCandido's 'Serenity.' Thanks. If you hadn't posted, I would never have found his book at all.

Are there others with some worthy writing skills who have written any fiction based on the 'Firefly' series?

Thanks again, and many blessings to you and yours,

Magee

Wow Magee, you are one overly happy person! No offense, but I can't imagine how you can be that syrup-y. Are you on crack or something? Anyway, I know this is mean and I'm sorry, but I just had to bring it up. I have a feeling the other posters may feel the same way...

No, Serenity will be the first novel based in the Firefly 'verse. Without the movie coming up, I doubt we would have had any novels at all.

KRAD is the screen name Keith R.A. DeCandido posts under on the net. He has writing credits in Trek, Farscape, and Andromeda, to name a few. And, not only is he a good writer, but he's a nice guy, which is a plus. ;)

...still a little whimsical in the brain pan...

The Serenity novelization will be the first official work, but there's a ton of fanfic over in the Blue Sun Room. No idea how good it is....

Hey, Metropolis...

Heavens, no...I'm not an overly happy person. In all actuality, nothing could be further from the truth. But I'm not here to lay my soul open to other lovers of sci-fi. I will say that other people make me very happy, since I am mostly homebound, and we are miles away from any large town or small city. No large cities out here. (I am from L.A., and went to school in Hollywood; you'd think I'd be that real nasty-mc-nasty with the crack habit you are suggesting.) Okay...I gotta ask: "syrupy"? Whadya mean? Because I come off as being polite? Or perhaps giving another a blessing is "just-too-weird"? So, you think mayhaps I shouldn't post 'cause I'm too "syrupy", and we don't wanna make anybody else (other than you) toss their cookies? Please do tell...honest feedback is actually important to me. Blessings to you and yours,

Magee

I forgot to tell you how cute I think your G.I. Joe line is. How old are you? Blessings.

Hello, Sakrysta,

Thanks for the info. Well, then, we are a real happy bunch here since we get a 'real-live-motion-picture' with our favorite 'down home' sci-fi. Yeah...I got that KRAD is Keith's screen name. But thanks. I haven't been able to locate a 'search' feature for folks' user names. Some forums offer this feature. That's why I was looking for KRAD to see how I can get his book. But then I realized I read too hastily, and Keith was not the name of the individual who wrote to me, but the name of the sci-fi novelist. I did find POTEMKINVILLAGER's profile and his previous posting with the link to Keith's book on Amazon.

I noticed that there are some folks that have some fiction posted here. Maybe not entire books...dunno. Haven't had time to check them out yet. Do you think some of these are pretty good?

Be well, Sakrysta, and many blessings to you and yours,

Magee

Thanks. I thought I eyed some fiction. Will check them out when I've got some extra time. You never know...some of them are probably very good. Everybody's gotta start some where. Be well, and many blessings to you,

Magee-

I'm a 20 year old sophomore English major at the University of California, Berkeley. The GI Joe tag is from MST3K: The Movie. I have no objection to your posts, or even you. I suppose you just seem extremely energetic and almost overly grateful for the information provided you in the thread. I'm sure I sound cynical or mean when I make this distiction, but they did not save your life -- they simply told you the name of an author. I don't know, and I guess it really doesn't matter what complete strangers think of each other. That said, I hope you find your book and I hope it's all you want it to be.

Metropolis,

You are cynical, and it's a shame that you are at such a young age. Wait and learn more about people before prejudging that which you do not know. For God's sake, this is only a sci-fi forum and nothing more. I love the "Firefly" series, but it's not what I put all my faith in. You cannot possibly know an individual from a few postings. You have a great deal to learn. Patience, kindness and respect go a long way, and your posting was non-constructive and, as you said, mean. So why post it? It does matter what strangers think of one another. People always matter. You can't simply judge them from a few brief encounters, then stuff them into a categorical cube. Our world is crumbling because of a lack of respect for our fellow human being. I pray that you won't add to the sadness.

We love MST3K, too...it's one of our favorites. My husband has his bachelor's in English Literature and his Master's in Education. We both have a great deal of writing experience and have had some of our works published. My degree is in Counseling.

My comment about your citing G.I. Joe was only an illustration of the level of your maturity, not an attack on MST3K. I won't say that I haven't done some really dumb things myself, because I have. No one is exempt from making mistakes. But the best thing to come out of our mistakes is learning not to repeat them. We do indeed receive what we give. Many blessings to you and yours,

Magee
