I am really enjoying this. You've got the character development that made series and movie alike so fascinating, but it's more than that. This feels like the second season, the second coming of Firefly and it's weird and wonderful weekly adventuares. The focus is mostly on Mal, but the story doesn't dwell on him or his troubles aside from those related to weaving other characters into his narrative.

I giggled like mad at the idea of Giles-Book, too, so, while a tad incredulous-making, I'm more than interested to see how that plays out. I do hope you keep the vampires out of it, though. Part of what made Firefly so special was how human it was, and how human monsters are often the worst of the worst. I'm ready for more when you've got it!

Wow, I really appreciate hearing that. I've really missed Firefly, and SERENITY only whetted my appetite for more; I've just been trying to explain some things that haven't been, yet, by Joss. Glad to know my version is entertaining other people, too. =)

Don't worry, in my version of the 'verse when Earth-that-Was ceased to be, it took virtually all magic and non-human existence in "our" dimension with it. No Potential Slayer will ever be called now, but they haven't stopped being born, and boy do the future-Watchers have their heads screwed on wrong... I thought that might make for an interesting angle on the whole Academy thing, and the plot took off from there!
