If, with the release of "Reloaded" and "Revolutions, the year 2003 was the year of "The Matrix", then with the release of the "Firefly" DVDs in December 2003, the year 2004 was the year of "Firefly". Consequently, from 14 July 2004 through 03 November 2004, my leisure time was focussed on the "Firefly" universe by Joss Whedon. Here are a couple of "Firefly"-inspired pieces of collaborative fan fiction.

  • Firefly-Class Rose - "xJAYMANx.com 2004". | In an alternate-universe (AU) role-writing fic (RWF), this story focusses on the antics of bounty hunter and captain Jacob "Jayman" Mandara as he assembles a new crew for his Firefly-class transport, dubbed the "Rose". The characters are currently located on the large moon named Santa Maria. Along with two other smaller uninhabitable moons Nina and Pinta, the Santa Maria revolves around Columbia, the fourth planet of the Desertina star system, a frontier system about a week or so from Persephone. It is the year 2517, seven years after the "Battle of Du Khang" and six years after the "Battle of Serenity Valley"...
  • The Soldiers - "xJAYMANx.com 2004". | In an alternate-universe (AU) role-writing fic (RWF), this story focusses on a younger Jacob "Jayman" Mandara and his first meeting with Raymond Kan-chiang. It is the year 2510, one year before the "Battle of Serenity Valley"...
