Isn't that something from the 1950s? (Points to anyone who knows what movie that's from *without* using a search engine.)
Dunno.
Seriously -- COOL!
But, hell yeah!
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Someone wanted the corpse fic? By our own, highly talented and oh so foamy Nutty.
Okay, so it's actually called "Cradle Elbows Wide", but I like "corpsefic" better. *g* And where's the title from, anyway?

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Oh yes, that's the one I read. Good.

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, my, that was fantastic.
Nutty, that was wonderful!
I really got the sense of desperation and practicality that must coexist during war. I loved the flow of the writing, the language and structure. I got a good sense of Mal. And, damn, now I want to read the (unaired) pilot.

I haven't read everything that's been posted, but it's certainly the best piece of Firefly fic I've read. And not just because I know Nutty and not just because it involves something other than River and the guys with blue hands.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow that was good. Disturbing, but good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Number slutting, because Fay (that companion of numerals) has gone to bed.
Bookmarking Nutty's fic, since we were talking about writing style at our lunch.

My favorite detail was the VNVs.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
where's the title from, anyway?
I have no idea. It's probably a word-wrong riff on something from a children's rhyme, or some doggerel, but I can't pinpoint it.
Well, thank you all for your praise; although, from what I'm seeing, "best Firefly fanfic" is like saying fastest tricycle, because, you know, show three weeks old and inane sex stories about characters we hardly know predominant.
What have you all found? Firefly's Glow is the only dedicated fic archive I've found so far. Which, considering the three weeks old part, is actually more than I expected.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm really and truly impressed, Nutty.
