Yeah, I'm a bit worried about that. I've never seen Firefly, but after watching the Serenity trailer, I see definate similarities between her and Alice. Especially after the bout of fisticuffs I'm getting ready for posting. Ah well, time will tell....

Sorry folks, no addition to the story yet, but more is in the works at the moment. Just been playing around with Doga and made a pretty decent renditon of the Daedalus. Those of you with a bit more experience with Doga's texturing capabilities please don't hesitate to critisize (constructively) since I'm not 100% happy with it yet.

Edit: See the attatchment for bigger version

Just caught up. I'd forgotten just how good this story is. More! More! More!

Yep, looks like DoGA parts. lol

Hey, yell at Atrocities to email you his custom parts files; they're much more fun to work with. (Though some are decidedly proprietary, like SW and ST:TNG/OS stuff)

Nice lookin ship though; reminds me of a ship called Armageddon from some TV series,

Crap. Everything I do is really something else. My female lead is the Firefly chick, my spaceship is the Aliens ship, and aside from the fact that I created Alice before I'd even heard of Firefly, and I can't remember the ship from Aliens, I'm beginning to have doubts as to my own creativity.
Anyway, more on the story is forthcoming, I'm just home visiting my parents and it's very hard to get 5 minutes, let alone a couple hours to lay down some wordage but they're heading off on holidays of their own soon, so it won't be long until I have the requisite time.
And limitless alcohol. Oh yes, there will be writing.

In the meantime, tell me what you think of this lil fella. It's the Defiant, that wee destroyer from the start of the story. And hey, I even rememberd to tack on a sensor dealy on the front, maintaining congruity all the way!

Like the defiant pic. It looks like something that could be successfully piloted by one drunk dude, too.

ah, piss and moan. There are dozzens of other ships and adventure characters that your stuff reminds me of. its not because you copied it from them, its because adventure stories have existed since the dawn of the spoken-word. And modern(ish) space sci-fi has been kicking about for around 70 years now.

even if you didnt see alines or firefly, you were part of the same collective consiousness that the creators of those shows based their characters and art upon. its not that your not creative, its that you CANT create something that does not (at least vaguely) remind someone of something else.

I could just as easily picked dozzens of other characters or ships that those reminded me of. But yours fit together in a way thats refreshing and new, and thats why this is one of my favorite stories to read.

And I like the Defiant. It reminds me of...

puke ducks as everyone in the room throws a heavy object at him. there is a loud cacaphony of crashing noises, as puke is burried under heavy, flying, blunt objects
