If, on the other hand, you're trying to create some original fiction as good as, and reminiscent of, Firefly, PTA's your obvious first choice.
We played an excellent game imagined as a spinoff series within the Firefly setting, and it was awesome. It was still very much Firefly and a celebration of it. But not fetishy. Fetishy is weird.
I think as soon as someone starts publishing Serenity novels and the various crappy tidbits within start being treated as canon—you know, like when nerds start referring to the brand of tightpants that Mal wears as described in book 22— then it will become an unfun setting to play in. But right now it's an iceberg; the other 90 percent is totally up for grabs, and that makes it dreamy.
This makes MC go "Novels in pipeline now"
There are Firefly novels in the early stages (meaning deciding which authors) even now. Play while the playing's good!
