Why this must be read:
 
So, at some point, I got all my friends convinced I was a slashoholic. Which I am. They're really going to laugh when they see the second gen rec in a row.

Most of you, by now, have watched most of the DVDs. (if not, why haven't you?!) And I'm sure many of you are realizing that that's all there is. And that you (yes, you!) need an episode fix.

Maystone is one of those writers who really gets into her characters' heads, and can weave a plot that just feels right. So you add excellent characterization (often with some development) and a plot that reads like an episode?

Well, in this case, you get comedy gold. Last Night at Sally Ann's is a not-so-lighthearted romp about a job-gone-wrong (and don't they just always?). A nice set of believable original characters, a bar, drinking, dancing, and a slice of lovely crew interactions.

I usually don't quote the fics I rec, but this one? I can't resist:

"No. You're absolutely right, Jayne. I've been a boor and I owe you an apology." Simon smiled brightly.

"Aw, it's OK. You ain't never been no kind of a pig, though. Just kinda stuck-up and snooty." Jayne grinned at Simon and lifted his glass again. "To boars!"

That always cracks me up.
