I love hearing that you liked their interactions–I so laboured over being true to the characters, the dialogue, and the overall feel of the show. Aliens were part of the request, so even though they aren’t part of the Firefly ‘verse, it was fun to work them in and see how it went.

It’s good to hear that this has eased the pain of losing Firefly, which ended far too soon. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy our other works!

What I liked most was the dialogue and crew interaction. It felt coherent and consistent, just like from any Firefly scene – though it would have been awesome if you included some of their ridiculous Mandarin expletives!

Extraterrestrial life isn’t something that’s considered in the ‘verse at all, so I found it quite interesting you used that as a primary premise for your plot; it worked nicely though, and certainly gave a horror-esque flavour to the story.

When fan-fiction is written like this, and is an enjoyable read, it certainly helps ease the pain of the lack of a canonical Firefly continuation – so cheers for this; I’ll be sure to check out your other works

I’m glad you liked it! I think being familiar with the show would make this a little more fun, but my goal, ultimately, was that people who are complete strangers to Firefly could read this and still enjoy it without having to rely on knowledge of the show to understand it

I’m really happy to hear you say that it felt like an episode, because that was what I was going for – I saw the whole thing playing out in my head like an episode (to the point where I even imagined the intro music after Mal’s line “Seems to me we’re in a ghost town.” Haha!) and I was hoping to capture that feel, even though aliens were never featured in the show.

I think I just really wanted a chance to work with aliens. It’s fun to create freaky creatures that bear no resemblance to Earth life

I’m also really glad you felt the relationships and interactions came across well. I struggled with this in places because, I mean, Joss Whedon! How do I replicate that!? It was fun to work with, though

As always, your faith in me is an inspiration~

And not just that but you managed to nail each of their relationships & how they interacted with each other on the show. Which can be hard for a writer to do. If there was anyone I could trust to do a Firefly fanfic justice, I knew it was you. <3

…and now I want to read more Firefly fanfic by you dammit! LOL But I guess I'll have to settle for fic written by other people. *pouts*
