There's just sooo much stuff on here, and I have very little time to read. Maybe this is to subjective of a question, but are there any fanfic's that are "classics" that I simply must read? You know, 'if you never read a single fanfic again, make sure you've at least read ______'

Perhaps there's a rating system that I'm unaware of, or maybe there was a voted-on "Fanfic Awards," or something.

I'm really up for any category, 'cept maybe 'horror'. Or haiku. Although I see that is niether in the fiction category, nor has it been updated in 4 years. Say, that's mighty tempting . . .

Anyway, thanks for the help. I welcome any and all suggestions.

The only fanfic I will read is the extended episodes at stillflying.net. They're written in script format and they stick within the framework of canon. I love 'em.

That's interesting, I almost find that the exact opposite of what I'd choose to read.

I haven't really read any fanfic yet - I'm afraid to have the purity of the canon-verse diluted - but my withdrawal symptoms are beginning to become severe enough that I'm starting to look for some, so I guess the request for recommendations goes double for me too.

I think, though, I want to steer clear of anything that's trying to be "like" canon. I haven't given up hope of more actual canon coming up and I fear that trying to hold two parallel 'verse's in my head at once, should that happen, might dilute the impact of both. Irrational perhaps, but I got the right to be my own kind of stupid, right? :)

Anyone have any good recommendations for fanfics that steer clear of territory that might end up contradicting canon? I found one today called "Free" that I liked - a little insignificant moment between Kaylee and Mal that could happen at any time without really interfering with any main storyline. Is there a lot out there in that kind of style? Any must-reads?

I've done a bit of casual browsing of the fanfics, and I have a recommendation for each of you. Yay!

A good short story that is decidedly non-canon is "I Sing of the Spirit Electric" over at Fanfiction.net (link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2626804/1/ ). It looks at what might have happened had the show had turned more science-fictiony in Objects in Sace.

I also recommend the much longer canon-centered story is "Lex Talionis," which ocurrs between Objects in Space and the BDM (link to part I: http://fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=213 ). It is a fully enjoyable story-- lots of fleshing out of characters, good writing, great dialogue. Nothing left me scratching my head saying, "wait... Book would never say that!" (something that happens more often than I would like in the world of fanfiction). Reading it helped me with the transition between series and movie: it relates just how things have gotten much worse for Mal (in the paraphrased words of Joss's commentary) in between the two. Be careful though, it does deal with very mature subject matter that not everyone would find appropriate.

I have to second the stillflying.net recommendation. If I could only read one fanfic, it would be these. If I had to pick one of these, I would pick Chains (though, I highly recommend reading all of them; some of Chains my not make sense out of context). You can find the stories at the website, or here. Look in the Blue Sun Room, under the letter V - "Virtual Firefly: Episode..."

Aside from that... hmm...

Most of the other fanfics I read are shamelessly M/I centric. Very good if you're a shipper, but some with more plot than others...

one author that has almost never failed me is Maystone http://www.fanfiction.net/u/335326/ , and Hawkmoth has some fabulous stories (can't find the link just now, there's a thread here somewhere...) Inlashal's "Least Said, Soonest Ended" is superb: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1631697/1/

"The Power of the Pen" is hysterical http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1292958/1/

I have to second anything written by Tara O'shea aka LJC. Her fic is simply amazing.

Otherwise, pretty much start at A in each category and work your way through it.

You'll probably hate a majority of it because its not your cuppa, or whatever, but you'll find little gems well hidden that make it worth the long search.

Those virtual eps at stillflying look really good. I'll have to check them out.

I helped write a virtual Buffy season 8 that was (I'm the first to admit this) not brilliant. We started writing it halfway through season 7, and of course the finale threw our own season waaaay out of whack. It was great fun though, and I'm hugely impressed by people who can write a virtual season and stay within canon. It can be really difficult to find fic that doesn't resolve all the issues nice and neatly, or mess around with the main characters and wind up changing them completely.

You might try a fic on this very site called "The Treasure of Lei Fong Wu" By a member, calls himself ScrewtheAlliance. That fic is posted here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=4790

Or a fic called "Kaylee's Lament" also by ScrewtheAlliance.

Posted Here:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=4400

both are excellent works. They're long(they both have multiple parts), but well worth a read through!

If you want to read something that's really like a real episode, try some of the stuff in lonewolf's series. I found that to be really intriguing and well written. He introduces some new characters who fit in really nicely with our BDMs. It was a nice mixture of angst, romance and everything else. It wasn't concentrated too much on one genre, and that made it really realistic.

Well, I'd say that a good bet would be to go through the Strawberry Awards nominated fics.

Oddly enough, Tara O'Shea is a rather dominant force in the 2004 SBAs, so I think that qualifies as one more ringing endorsement!

I have to second the recommendation for "Kaylee's Lament" and "The Treasure of Lei Fong Wu" by ScrewtheAlliance. Both are fantastic stories that really suck you in, and with "Treasure" not yet finished, I wait anxiously for every chapter as it's doled out.

Just yet another reccommendation for Kaylee's Lament and Treasure by ScrewtheAlliance. Great action, character development and exposistion that's actually engaging! *shameless plug* Check it out!

Also, anything by Amdobell is lovely, but my favorite is the Nine Hells Series.

(you can find both of these lovely writers right here on fireflyfans.net!!)

Hi there! Newcomer to the site here (and to the whole world of internet forums come to that!) but I'm also interested in getting my hands on more good Firefly stories. I've trawled through Fanfiction.net but, like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get (and don't you just hate biting into those coffee ones?!)

My secret shameful vice is the crossover story! I love seeing two groups of characters I love being shoved together and seing if it'll work! Okay, sometimes it really doesn't but it can be such fun when it does! I notice from glancing through that the Sun Room doesn't have a section for crossovers. Are they just too embarrassing or are there others out there that share my depraved obsession? If so where do they hide them?

BALLAD

Saturday, April 29, 2006 11:54 PM

I too embarrassingly adore crossovers. Expecially Buffy crossovers, lol. If you want the most fun Firefly crossover ever, check out the book, "Finding Serenity" there's a full article (Called Mirror/Mirror; A Parody) in there about what would happen if the crew of Serenity and the crew of the Enterprise (the newest, lamest crew anyway, from "Enterprise") switched places. HIGH-larious!

If you like Crossovers, try this one on Fanfiction.Net, a crossover with SG-1. I am finding it quite good.

Winding River: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2833397/1/

I've also been enjoying quite a lot of post-Serenity fanfictions that I think are very good (I tend to prefer post-Serenity fanfiction because I came into Firefly after watching the movie).

Just at the top of my head:

GeekUSA and CABridges are both awesome. Geek did a season 2 that read really well and true. CA did a what if Nathan was in Mal's place- truly hi-larious! You really can't go wrong, I started on the recent page and picked a few. I read a lot of the romance , if you're into Jayne/Kaylee then I recommend Jacqui,Itsawash,hisggodgirl,bookaddict, and way too many more. It's a real treasure trove out there- enjoy!

What an aim I had to go and recommend your own story! LOL. I really didn't know. But yes, I am enjoying your story, especially because I love River and I love SG-1, even if I haven't seen most of its later seasons. I wish there were more Stargate crossovers that were as well done as yours.

And, anyways, if you've searched Fanfiction.Net, then you must have seen this other crossover, with Harry Potter, which is rather good as well, IMHO:

Browncoat, Green Eyes: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2857962/1/

And there are plenty of other non-crossover fanfiction I've been enjoying a lot on this site or on various livejournal communities. You just have to search a bit. :)

I've finished a nice long chapter 8 but am waiting for an edit from a friend before posting!

I was hoping to get a conversation going as to people's views on crossovers in general.

How many out there think that they're embarrassing self indulgent rubbish?

For those who don't like them, who is brave enough to admit that weird and unlikely combinations intrigue them just a bit as to how that might work?

Does anyone have a bizarre crossover they want to suggest? I could always wrack my brains for a short story that might work!

Tuesday, May 2, 2006 1:07 AM

I'm not actually a crossover fan at all - I find that too often either the physical crossing is handled badly or one or more of the characters tends to be OOC. Maybe it's just the ones I've read. I live in hope...

Anyway, in response to the original question - if you never read a single fanfic again, make sure you've at least read these three, in no particular order:

* Next of Kin, which I only know of at the author's livejournal - http://eustacia-vye28.livejournal.com/ and go back four pages to find the first post. (At the moment it's four pages... chapter 1 is currently sitting at the bottom of the fourth page back, so you may need to look further. Posted on November 9th 2005 in case it drops into calendar.) It starts out slightly pedestrian but very quickly shifts into that rarest of gems, an utterly plausible post-BDM Rayne, with a superb supporting cast of OCs (Jayne's mother Vera!) and a star turn from Regan Tam.

* The Fish Job, which I'm surprised nobody's mentioned yet as it got rave reviews when it was being posted - very good pre-BDM story, perfectly paced, perfectly characterised and, at points, psychologically terrifying. Start from Mal4prez's profile at http://www.fireflyfans.net/fulluserbluesunlist.asp?un=mal4prez.

* Bed and Wine, by Kaynara, starting at http://www.fireflyfans.net/fulluserbluesunlist.asp?un=Kaynara. It's the sequel to a two-parter called Strange Bedfellows and a longfic called Bedlam; you need to read the others first. They're very good. Bed and Wine is brilliant. Again, the characterisation is the winner.

I tend to navigate by author as much as fanfic; the remainder of my top ten authors list, therefore, comprises an author already mentioned, LJC, and several who haven't, namely Maantre, 2x2, Amdobell, Kispexi2, and Leiasky (on this site) and Roseveare (on fanfiction.net). I always tend to go for long fiction that's well-characterised.

Next of Kin...oh let me just second and third this! That is such a great tale. She posts a chapter per week, usually on Tuesdays. And she's not even half way done with it.

Definitely a must read. Pairings are S/K and J/R.

"A government is a body of people usually notably ungoverned."

I've tried to read this and the writing is good, but I just cannot abide authors who have River refer to herself as "she" or "the girl", when she never does that in the show except in one or two occasions, one of which, in Objects in Space, just happens because Mal is talking over her head about her to Simon, with her just at his side. He asks Simon "does she understand that?" and River answers "she understands. She doesn't comprehend", and you can't tell me she hasn't a perfectly valid reason to refer to herself as "she" in the context of the conversation (and she was making a point, at that). I just get mad to see everyone -- even authors that seem to write well -- falling into that particular trap. Didn't they watch the series and the movie?

Sorry for the rant...

Edit: I have read a little more into the story and the author seems to gradually loose the whole "she" and "girl" thing (that I've been able to see, as I'm only in the 3rd chapter), but I would have liked that she hadn't even gotten into it in the first place. Oh well...

So, after reading this thread, I'm losing my life to fanfic. I'm such a geek. But in that good way. Right? ... Right?

Anyhow, I thought I'd mention one that hasn't been posted yet. Well, it's a series. I ran into it here: http://words-in-flight.livejournal.com/tag/retro-rec

http://firefly.populli.org/archive/2/spacepirates.shtml

http://firefly.populli.org/archive/3/timeto.shtml

Absolutely amazing.

Now, I have a request. I'm looking for some good post-BDM fic. I read Forward Motion, and that started so well, but kinda lost its momentum towards the end. (If the author is reading this, don't be offended! I read the whole thing and it's the best post-BDM fic I've read yet.) I have to say that I'm a bigger fan of canon pairings (not so much on Jaylee and a big no on Mal/River).

Anybody got a rec?

Thanks ... and a big thanks to all of you writers out there.

Saturday, May 6, 2006 2:44 AM

Shanna's stories are excellent. I absolutely love them.

For stories to read, do you want recs that are heavy on plot? Fluff? A mixture? Do you prefer to read specific pairings? Like not M/I but S/K or vice versa?

Janafae writes S/K and R/J fluff.

leighkohl writes S/K. Most of her stuff has a plot, I think.

Kaynara does a lot of M/I with some S/K and is definitely plot driven.

TamSibling has done some post and some pre BDM stuff and its very good. Mostly plot driven.

Wanmei does a lot of S/K stuff. She also does non-cannon pairings.

AMDOBEL writes cannon pairings with plot.

FrellingBlonde writes S/K fluff.

I do some of all of it tho' never any non-cannon pairings.

Off the top of my head, that's all I can think of for Post BDM fic.

Thanks for the prompt response.

In response to your questions, I'll say that I'm a plot kind of fan (but who isn't?). Some of the "extended vignettes" are fun, but I'm a sucker for a story.

I've got no specific pairings that I like to read, and even though it's all kinds of cathartic to read people's versions of how Mal and Inara finally get together, maintaining a tension definately helps the stories pop.

I'll look into the authors you mentioned, and if you're feeling kind, maybe you (or anyone else, for that matter) could make a specific recommendation. All y'all are a prolific bunch!

:-)

Thanks again.

I pointed a few above in a previous post in this thread (Red Run, New Prospects, GeekUSA's second season) but you can also try this one: Antebellum (multi-chaptered but still WIP). Start here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=6402

If you find more good Post-BDM fic out there, let me know, since that's the kind I tend to prefer. :)

Ah, and if you read Red Run, stick to it despite it being a bit slow on plot after the first 2-3 chapters until later chapters, it has the most amazing character development I've seen post-BDM yet for all characters, especially River. In fact, the chapters that are part of the Group Therapy and afterwards are incredible and funny and profound. I recommend this series highly, so stick with it even if the first couple of chapters seem a bit slow. It gets better and better. I thought the author might have given up on it after not posting more chapters since January but they recently published another, so I'm hoping they write more.

It can be incredibly nerve-wracking when you read a work in progress and get caught up ; only to discover that there hasn't been any progress in over 6 months.

I must be waining on continuations of at least a dozen fics(here and fanfic.net) at the moment.

I'm new here too. I've had the site saved in my list of favorites for months, but I've never really visited here to read the stories...until the last four days.

The one thing that I can't get used to is the way that chapters are set up (various stories going to different genres). When reading stories, I would have up to five different screens minimized to get to the next chapter as quickly as possible.

I read through all the types, but my main focus was romance. I went in there and searched for stories with my coupling preference and then I looked for the works by that particular author. I read some of the feedback for them and determine who wrote the coupling that I preferred.

Also, I went onto FF.Net to find any stories. There was one particular author who brought me here because of the guidelines on that site. Okay, I'm a smut whore...LOL.

Thanks for the rec on Shanna's "Space pirates" etc. story. Excellent work and it really hits the spot.

I have a rec as well: "Gutterstars" by poisontaster on ff.net:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2504171/1/
It's PreSeries. Simon tries to find River. Great story, good writing.

Other stories by poisontaster are short but good as well.

At the risk of calling attention to myself, I have written two Firefly/Serenity fanfic. There are no crossovers or unrealistic romantic tie ins. They are just true to the stories set in the 'Verse that Joss gave us. Reviews tell me I have the voices of all characters I use down pretty well. One is set before the series starts and the other is ten years after the BDM. See for yourself.

I'd agree with Eloisa...gotta read anything by Kaynara, esp Bed and Wine.

I'm such a sucker for Mal/Inara...all that sexual tension in BDTVS/BDM. Lawdy (fanning myself).

LOVE it...the 'voices' are spot on; no 'wince-inducing' bits that just aren't them. And the spelling/punctuation is fab (errors KILL the moment).

I'm anxiously awaiting the finish...and don't know what I'll do when I get it!

ScrewTheAlliance's two EPICS are just fantastic - very much like getting an entire season of new episodes (with a story arc!)

In fact, I wanted to ask if anyone out there could recommend writers/stories that are similarly gifted as far as plot and characterization (I'm incredibly picky...) I love having things I can completely escape into. Thanks!

I helped write a virtual Buffy season 8 that was (I'm the first to admit this) not brilliant. We started writing it halfway through season 7, and of course the finale threw our own season waaaay out of whack. It was great fun though, and I'm hugely impressed by people who can write a virtual season and stay within canon. It can be really difficult to find fic that doesn't resolve all the issues nice and neatly, or mess around with the main characters and wind up changing them completely.

Desktop Hippie: at one with the 'verse

I don't suppose that was the one that was published on TBC&S was it? Coz if it was I did an episode for that! I was posting as Sgt. Rock at the time. I gotta agree that it was not brilliant (assuming it's the same one), I didn't actually finish reading it, it got so far away from what I thought the show should be about.

Anyhoo, just pimping my own firefly fanfic, is based on an idea Joss had where Inara is kidnapped by Reavers. It can be found here:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=8267 and got some awesome reviews!

For anyone that's interested, I'm currently working on the sequel.

I recently found couple of plotty epics which are great.

Harri Vane - she wrote in 2003, before the movie, and her staff is fantastic, if you can get through wrong spell-checker choices which are left uncorrected. She really needed a beta...

My absolute favorite of hers is "Ties that bind". Emotional rollecoaster, Tams meet their family, kidnapping and resque, River writes poems, allusions to classical literature etc. All her staff is here:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/fulluserbluesunlist.asp?un=Harriet%20Vane

Then: Firefly The Virtual Seasons. This is differerent from StillFlyeing.net and I like it much more: http://www.firefly-tvs.com.

One more: "Choices" by Tgezha, before BDM, very tense thriller: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1217106/1/ (Add "/" to the end of URL to get a correct link).

There are some truly good fanfics out there. I found fan fic a few months ago. What I do is check the new posts read the stories that look interesting. If nothing catches my eye I pick a letter and scroll down till I find a story I want to read.

If I like a story I click on the author’s profile and read all their other works. I have found some great ones this way.

Some wonderful authors I have found so far are:
Harriet Vane
Mal4prez
Intopaper

There are others but these come to mind.

I didn't read the thread, just wanted to throw in my $0.02. These are all from this site:

Leiasky's works are great, though she is a Silee shipper.

mal4prez's stories impressed me very much, she is an excellent writer.

Tamsibling is pretty good too, though another Silee shipper.

ItsaWash writes good Jaylee smut and some pre-series Jayne stuff that is excellent.

I have a couple that are ok, but personally I don't think they are too great.

If you're into Simon/Kaylee, I have a fluff series "Pretty ... pretty" that got some good response. It's a finished series and there's a one-shot post the series called "Am I pretty?". I might make a continuation series at one point or more one-shots, but not until I can fully commit to it again.

My "Fun and Games" (which is more general humor, though with slightly shippy feel to it) series is currently unfinished. It's possible reading the first chapter as one story and just not read the rest until I've posted all of the "Hangover" chapters.

The one-shots are safe, though. All Simon/Kaylee.

Action, adventure, psychological intrigue, I'm not a shipper though that doesn't mean I abhor all forms of it.

I need something GREAT to read. I'm seeing stuff that seems pretty good, but I need something GREAT to read.

Well after that I would recommend Mal4Prez and 'The Fish Job' followed by 'Easy Tickets'.

Not as big, but just as good. I actually preferred this as I found The Treasure of fei Long Wu (or something) a bit too big. Not in size (which I loved. I hate looking for new things to read... so I like the stories to be long), but the story was too 'substantial' for me. The BDH's being far too important.

Friday, September 29, 2006 3:12 PM

Thank you thank you thank you CaroleJude and NBZ and RismyG!!

**hops around my office dancing in joy!!**

Are for other fics - I highly recommend The Blue Sun Job by Guildsister - but it starts with the little fic Truthsome here:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=894

It's got a pretty serious tone and not so goofy as some fic, but she's a great great writer and the Mal/Zoe back story is excellent! In fact - I'm writing my own Mal/Zoe history now (Easy Tickets sequel, yay!) and I've had to convince myself that the things she came up with aren't canon, and I can change them! It just fits the series that well.

BTW, Guildsister's fic is what got me started writing. I kind of borrowed a scene of hers and went from there. (I really should apologize for that - I was ignorant and never asked her permission. *guiltyface* Are you out there, Gsis? Um... sorry! and thank you!)

Let me second everything which had been said about MAL4PREZ tales, Fish Job and Easy Ticket. What a fantastic read, the best FF fanfic I've seen so far! A truly ansamble saga, not a false note in character descriptions, nail-biting plot - vow! I'm so happy to come accross it, and I see that the sequel is planned. :)
I'd like to comment on those fics, does it make sense to comment on the older fics, would authors still see it?

Yes, we get notifications when someone comments on fic (unless the site is acting up) so definitely comment on her older stuff.

And I have to echo a bunch of people's comments on Mal4Prez' stuff as well. Her stories are very well written ensemble pieces and I've learned quite a bit in talking to her:)

Gotta agree with m4p on the Guildsister Truthsome/Blue Sun Job rec. (And of course, I have to agree with everyone else on the Fish Job/Easy Tix recs, too!)

It was the first fanfic to capture my imagination the way the series had, and like you, m4p, has inspired many a scribblings (though I've never actually went ahead and turned it into something worthy...). Some of the stuff I've written I think of as BSJ fanfic!

I know the picture left after the BDM is rather bleak, but I want some post BDM 'firefly'. Not smallville/buffy/Angel with all the teen angst.

So is there any out there? (I am not sure whether I should have started a new thread for this...)

I'm resurrecting this thread to thank everyone for the suggestions, and so I don't have to go fishing for it every time I run out of things to read. Also I was hoping there might be some newer recommendations, perhaps even someone could point me in the direction of finding ones like the stories I liked best listed below.

*****minor fanfic spoilers below******

I really liked the 2.5 stories by ScrewTheAlliance, they were the best ones I've read so far. It was disappointing he didn't finish the last one. :(

The Fish Job and Easy Tickets by MAL4PREZ were really good too.

I read all the virtual episodes at stillflying.net and enjoyed them, though I quit reading for a while sometime in the second season when I read the one where Mal whores out Kaylee so he can win a race. I couldn't believe Mal would do that to his mei-mei. I'm awfully glad I came back to them though, many of the best ones were the last half of that season.

I also liked Lex Talionis, another great story, but perhaps due to pure coincidence it was about the third one in a row I read where Kaylee is either raped, threatened with gang rape, or raped in someone's dream. Poor Kaylee! What is it about that cute little girl that makes people violate her so often in these stories! :)

I also liked the Blue Sun Job, that was really good too. The Execution of Jayne Cobb worked well for me too, as did another Jayne story by Space Angel I can't recall the name of right now.

So what I'm looking for is more stuff like that, complete stories with as good characterization as possible, so I never get the impression 'he'd never do or say that!' I'm also not the slightest bit interested in 'shipping.' I don't mind romance in a story if it fits in nicely and compliments it, but I don't want to read something that's mainly a contrivance to get two imaginary characters together so they can have imaginary sex. Some good and smart people like that sort of thing, and that's fine; I'm just not one of them. There were a number of recommendations for an author named Tara, but I noticed somewhere else it was considered Mal/Inara shipping and when I went to her site it seemed from the descriptions they were mostly romance-based. Is there more to them as well? I can read a romance if there's a really good story attached to it, should I check these out?

So basically I'm looking for stuff that reads like it could be an episode on the show, and preferably set before the movie so Wash and Book can be in it. Does anyone have further suggestions?

Just go to the profile page for this writer and start reading! Though the story is Mal/River, it all makes sense given the situation as it was at the end of the BDM. Even if you can't see yourself ever believing Mal/River would be possible, these stories are amazingly like the series. And the Mal voice is spot on, every time! Hope you will enjoy them as much as I do!!!!

Thanks you, I will check it out. The idea of Mal/River kinda squicks me, but if it's well enough done I might be able to tolerate it. If it's 'Epic' then it seems probable it's a part of the story, not the story itself.

Friday, June 26, 2009 4:06 AM

Well, Kaosium, everyone recommends ScrewtheAlliance for good reason. Lots of action, lots of humour.

I think the characterization is best in Unfinished Business and The Treasure of Lei Fong Wu. For you, I'd recommend the later: it's pre movie, and Wash and Book are used to good effect.

It is a LONG sucker, just word of warning, but each chapter will keep you hanging on, and there's some great plot going on in it.

http://www.fireflyfans.net/fulluserbluesunlist.asp?un=ScrewtheAlliance

For slightly shorter fare, I think Ain't the Fall that Kills Ya by intopaper has an excellent episode feel. The crew gets a very interesting job, and the only romance that happens is a pretty bit of angst at a party in the last chapter or so.

http://www.fireflyfans.net/showprofile.asp?un=intopaper

jetflair has a nice long POW camp story that's worth a looksee, I read it for the Mal backstory, which I think is excellent. But, that's another very long one, and there's a few points about it some might disagree with. I mention jetflair mostly because she had a little fifteen chapter thing that I thought was excellent that she based off a dream she had. "Dream Sequence."

http://www.fireflyfans.net/fulluserbluesunlist.asp?un=jetflair

This one made me giggle. A lot.

http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=15337

This one makes me sniffle.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2683646/1/

This one explores just how far the crew would go to save their ship if it crashed. What? Does that sound like something I've dabbled in a little recently? *innocent*

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1996576/1/

And if you like pure pulp fiction-y action, Peptuck. Some people might think it's too much, but I kind of like the comic-book violence.

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/348055/

You've already read Mal4Prez, so there's not much else I can give you. :)

Friday, June 26, 2009 5:20 AM

Read anything by Amdobell. She has written several long, well-plotted stories that go on forever but are worth the read.

I also recommend Lieasky (I think that's how you spell her name). Anyway, she also wrote a few long stories that were excellent but she also writes a lot of sexy one shots, mostly with Kaylee and Simon as central characters. Too bad she hasn't posted anything for a while, cause I'd like to see some more.

I didn't use to like Mal/River either, but I love slummin's works. Truly amazing.

Also worth a read is Jane0904's series. She has Mal/OC and its really good. Slummin's will take long enough to work your way through (I can reread it all in 2/3 weeks, but that's reading 2-3 hours a night) but Jane0904 has almost twice as much to read through. Well worth it tho.

Thank you so much for the additional recommendations. "The Treasure of Lei Fong Wu" was the first one I read, and I agree with you its excellent. 89 chapters is indeed long, but I read it in two days, one of my gifts. :)

For anyone else who might be intimidated by the size, keep in mind it's not as much one story as it is a complete story arc with the subplots and everything and might be considered a season or part of one. Don't give up quickly on it as the BDHs aren't in the first chapter, he gets to them and does it brilliantly. Lots of great insights and inferences supported by canon, so the characters really feel like our BDHs and the original characters as people who'd fit into the 'Verse. It is written by a published sci-fi author, so it is not as much fan-fic as it is something you could imagine being published as set in the 'Verse.

If you want good characterization, plot, all the characters accounted for, and with just a tad of canon romance, try CharlieBZ.

It is post Miranda, so it starts out dark and angsty, but lightens up as you read. And her River voice and portrayal is wonderfully sweet and endearing (no romance for her yet).

Here's her page,
