Repeat after me 'Serenity is an AU story". Because it *is* too good not to watch it again.
I used to write Star Trek fiction too! When I found out that some of the best of ST fanfic was published as Star Trek: The New Voyages, I was beside myself with glee (and going back and reading some of them again now after all these years, some were decidedly pre-slashy!) More recently the ST franchise has been holding contests to select stories written by unpublished authors and there must be at least 6 books in that series thus far. (I actually submitted one the first year it came out and was so stunned by the quality of the winning works that I never dared again).
I just admit, I started watching WMC in anticipation of seeing Joe and then began enjoying the show for itself! The Closer stars Kyra Sedwick and she plays a Southern woman transplanted to LA, who is fantastic at her job but incredibly inept in her personal life (which is strange, because reading and manipulating suspects is her forte). I used to watch NCIS, but I was bummed when they killed off a character and didn't warm up to Ziva as a result.

Chick-flick moments. *Shudders*
