Ha! Thought I'd reached the end of my LJ, but there was one more chapter. And a sequel! w00t.

Wanderd in here by way of S&0, thought this was a great story, can't wait for the sequel.

Thanks! It's total crack!fic since I'm a sad little fangirl but hey, someone's got to write it. LOL

This was a marvellous story - you captured the FF crew and Riddick really well, and told an engaging tale!

This will be going in my memories :)

Ohh, this is so delightfully shiny. Gritty, and dark, and true to both 'verses. Great work!

[aeneas_fic]

Thanks! I'm amazed how well the verses go together pre-Chronicles of Riddick. Haven't quite figured out a way to fit the Necromongers anywhere so I'm pretending the world stopped with Pitch Black for now. :)

It does feel so much better that way, doesn't it? Kind of like pretending there was no such thing as Alien 3 or Alien: Resurrection. : )

By the by... I have no idea whether you're familiar with Joan Vinge's work, but your crossover helped spark a plot bunny I now want to chase down -- Firefly/Catspaw. After all, the experiments to develop River's abilities must've come from somewhere...

Alas, so far it's only a concept. I'll need to come up with a plot 'n' stuff. *grin*

[aeneas_fic]

Woohoo! Plot bunnies! :) I'm not familiar with Joan Vinge. *googles*

Wow. To be honest, when I read the rec on my flist I was really sceptical. Both of these verses and all of these characters are touchy subjects and handled badly this could have been a testament to badfic everywhere. However, all of your characterizations were right on the money. The interactions of the crew and Riddick were really well done, as were Riddick's reactions to suddenly waking up on Serenity. I loved your River especially, everything she said and did was masterfully multi layered. I loved too that Mal was left thinking that Inara "serviced" Riddick and you just know she won't bother enlightening him. To her way of thinking, if Mal won't come out and ask what really happened then he doesn't deserve to know.

In short, I thought this was wonderfully done. Interesting, engaging and yet entirely true to what I would expect from these characters. Really excellent!

Thank you! And I have to admit that I consider this to be crack!fic written by a sad, little Riddick fangirl. LOL I've been very surprised that people aren't patting me on the head and sending me off to the men with straight jackets. :)

[linduvan]

Hee! I think maybe there's more little Riddick fangirls in the world than you might expect! Me, for example! ;)

And there is such a lack of good Riddick fic! It's quite sad. Our fandom, by and large, is pretty sucky.
