Shiny!

So I think that perhaps only one other person will care about this, and I could just tell him in an email of IM, but I think I'll make you all hear about it. There is apparently a new Firefly novel, which has been released online and is free for download. I'm having difficulty seeing how this isn't just another fanfic novel set in the Firefly universe, but I found the link on IMDB, so something makes this novel different from the (I'm assuming) thousand of other ones out there.

Perhaps it is because this one is by a real, published author (19 novels) who is published by Tor (which is one of the biggest sci-fi/fantasy publishers out there). So if you like Firefly (which anybody who has ever watched it should), you should perhaps check out this novel (it doesn't sound too long) during those boring lunch breaks when you're obviously not commenting on my blog.

Disclaimer: That last comment was not directed at anybody in particular, but the author of this blog has had no sarcastic outlet for quite some time, so you will probably see a lot of it coming out in posts.

Dear Becca,

The fact that you feel the need to apologize for sarcasm saddens me. I hope that graduate school kicks some sense back into you.

Hugs and kisses,

Stacy

I comment!! I am just glad someone else is posting!!

They were talking about that novel at work, the questioned wisdom of giving away a novel for free... I got the impression a series was in the making so the author is trying to get people hooked.

I think he released it like that because it wasn't approved by Joss, and he just wanted to get it out there. Or at least that's what seems lost likely to me.

If I'm watching movies during my lunch break I'm not bored, so then I wouldn't be commenting.

Sweet. That's all I have to say.
