Joss Whedon's epic Firefly is the little story that could.  Having been a victim of Fox networks short-sightedness, lack of conceptual understanding, and the Friday night tombs - Bitter?  Who, me? -  the series lived again in the mildly successful big screen venture Serenity.  When the box office take didn't earn the film a sequel, the story still refused to die, this time in a graphic novel and comics penned by Joss Whedon and  Brett Matthews.  

Now the adventures of Malcolm Reynolds and the crew of Serenity continue in a series of short stories coming soon from Titan Books.  Amongst the contributing authors is long-time Whedon collaborator Jane Espensen.  "I'm writing a short story set in the Firefly universe that someones putting together," Espenson said in a recent interview.  "Titan Books is putting together a collection written by various of the Firefly writers. But [it's a] very short story, ... 2,000 words."  Sounds like something I need to put on my Amazon.com wish list, doesn't it?  

Espensen has written episodes for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse, as well as other genre favorites Battlestar Galactica, Tru Calling, Warehouse 13 and most recently Caprica.
