Agreed. It becomes more painful with each episode. I can't help but wonder if TPTB realize that's the reaction they're getting.
That's one of the drawbacks to working so far ahead of the airing of these episodes...they had the whole season in the can before "New Earth" aired, so they can't get any kind of feedback before the whole thing's done.
Heh. I tend to get dragged into things via ficathons that friends of mine decide to run, which is where the Firefly fic came from (and proceeded to EAT MY BRAIN--or atleast, my life, for several weeks).
I hate trying to write fanfic to a deadline, so I avoid ficathons like the plague. I'll accept challenges from friends, but only on the understanding that it'll be done when I damn well say it's done, and not a moment before. *g* My 'Net connection did stay up long enough yesterday for me to read your FF fic, though. Hee! Very cute. I liked seeing Mal and Inara all befuddled by the baby. (I don't really like them as a ship--the canon tried way to hard to shove it down our throats when they have very little chemistry together, IMO--but I do like them paired in certain fics. This one worked for me.)
Though, I figure any writing is writing, whether it's fic or original or whatever, so it all keeps that part of you going. At least, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Indeed!
