Darling! Only make it decent, please! I'm so used to the HP fandom which is huge and sprawling - a veritable mall of fics to suit every taste, but loads of top-quality prose. Firefly is...different. For the first time in eons I'm tempted to write just because I'm tired of reading THE WORST GAY SEX EVER, coupled with ROMANCE THAT MAKES ME VOMIT IN THE BACK OF MY MOUTH. I mean, it's like they never watched the show. MAL IS NOT CUDDLY; he's a dickhead. If you want him to fuck Jayne that's great, hell, I'm all for it, but he sure as hell isn't going to have squishy moments with Jayne and share his feelings or some such nonsense. That's just a mite disturbifying.

I'm just cross because I was all excited after finding a whole cache of slash (!) that turned out to be the worst of the dreck. But dude, totally, Firefly slash was all I could think about for weeks. Cause, seriously, that shit is so gay. I know you don't like girly parts, but Kaylee/Inara... mmmmm.

More importantly, Nathaniel, we need to get together and gossip and have tea. ( ... )

Wait a minute, so a sexual encounter between Mal and Jayne would only be disturbing if they got squishy? I understand the show does have a sexual side, but whoa. Woe, even.

YES! Even J conceded that they were these weird moments of tension that could, conceivably, be translated into omgthey'resodoingit. BUT that doesn't excuse fancfic authors who have characters become v. out of character, i.e. Mal suddenly not being a cold, mercenary, unfeeling bastard. Whether he's doing Jayne or not, Mal's a jerk.

And no, the contrary of 'woe'. Nathaniel understands. Go mourn with J.

There is no woe, only when Mal has feelings and Jayne waxes poetic about his burning love for Mal! Guh! Better slash is needed!

And, yes, darling, we must have tea and gossip (really, that's all we're good for anyway). Sadly, I haven't a number to ring you at.
