Fantasy novelist Steven K. Brust wrote a Firefly novel but couldn't get Fox to authorize it, so he's releasing it online: [link]
Early reports are that it's quite good.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

How much backstory do we have on Toshiko from Torchwood ? Is it impossible for her to have been a Duelist from the group after Utena?
PLEASE SAY YES (fingers twitch).

Chrismg, you're asking me not to enable a TW/Utena crossover?

Have people seen Heidi8's Schoolhouse Rock crossover vids? This one is Heroes, but she has some Harry Potter ones as well.

Art Crawl!!!
The Captain Jack Harkness episode has some of Toshiko's family history - as in the family had been in the UK since before WWII. Does that help?

Resonant has a new SGA genderswitch story that I think is hilarious (a bit graphic for the prudish, though): Girlfriend

I did one of those Unpopular Opinion memes and said I didn't love Written by the Victors. I'm fully expecting to be run out of fandom on a rail.

Sumi, not much. On the one hand, it probably means she's enough generations down that her parents didn't have the urge to send her for schooling in the Old Country. On the other, she and her mother were speaking fluent, accentless Japanese in "End of Days," so they almost had to have spent some time immersed in it.
I don't know....I supposed I'm just intimidated by the idea of writing dialogue for Jack and Akio at the same time, to each other.

I thought it was quite good myself, but I think the story is too enamored of its style and lets us down plotwise. But I've been accused of having a too-plebian attachment to straightforward storytelling before now. But it is a good story.

Thrive to spite them
I liked the story quite a bit but I never understood why it got such an intense reaction.
