Review of chapter "Familiar Stranger" from VillageOrchid
Review:
Good tension and resolution. Good recognition of casting. Good thing Xander didn't see Jasmine (same actoress as Zoe).
Comments from author:
Thanks! Yeah, I'm just as glad I don't have to play wiht the Jasmine/Zoe thing, though Mal/Caleb I had more fun with than I probably ought to have -- I felt a bit guilty writing the scene, actually, cuz it just seems so cheesy... But it was so much fun *laugh*

Review of chapter "Familiar Stranger" from Duchess
Review:
I'll have to read more of this in order to give it a rating I'm comfortable with, but I'm certainly liking it so far and looking forward to more. :)
How ARE they gonna convince Xander that Mal isn't the one who poked out his eye? Somehow I doubt the time difference is going to make much of a dent in his emotional upheaval. I wish them luck, especially since I don't want Mal throwing him out the airlock! *vbg*
Comments from author:
I look forward to seeing what I wind up earning! Glad you're enjoying it thus far, and I hope you continue to. Time... not so much, given how many immortal or practically-imortal things Xander's known. But things'll work out... Thanks for the review!
Review of chapter "Familiar Stranger" from ElaineRhodes
Review:
Well, as afraid of Mal as Xander was, I think he earned some points with Simon for trying to protect River from someone Xander thought gouged his eye out.
Please don't leave us hanging - now I really can't wait for the next part.
Comments from author:
Yeah-- Xander's instinct seems to be to protect, no matter how scared he is. Gotta respect that. Hope the next chapter lives up to expectation!

Oops. I forgot about that little complication. Oh, well, once X wakes up, Book can explain that Mal is about as far from clerical as it's possible to get...
Comments from author:
Ah... except that it's post-show, post-comics, and Book is no longer aboard...
Review of chapter "Strange Scars" from ElaineRhodes
Review:
Chs 1-4
Very enjoyable story so far. I'm almost afraid for Mal, though - who knows how Xander will react to someone who's a dead ringer for Caleb!
Looking forward to more.
Comments from author:
*smile* You noticed that, too, huh? Yeah, next couple chapters go into that a bit. Let me know if they live up to expectation! Thanks for the review!

Review of chapter "Strange Scars" from Caliadragon
Review:
This is an excellent fic and I loved their reactions to Xander's scars.
Thanks Calia
Comments from author:
Thanks! I'm glad that worked. I figure they've seen some pretty messed up people over the years, but demon fighters come up with some unusual sorts of wounds...

oh, Xander mingling with the Serenity crew... I look forward to seeing more. Between the fight and the scars, he should at least get some respect from probably everyone but River - who knows how to predict River's reactions? Some from Simon for pure survival/luck, but the rest all appreciate a tough and determined fighter, even if that fighter's on the other side.
Comments from author:
Yeah, in a lot of ways he's a lot like them, although a bit more willing to admit he's guided by conscience and morals. I think he'll get along okay with 'em. And as for River -- River's fun *grin*
Great start - everyone is Perfectly in character, and the framework works really really well...
Comments from author:
Thanks! It's my first Firefly story, so good to hear that so far my portrayals are working out. Glad you're enjoying it, and hope it continues to work for you!
This is really starting out interesting. Looking forward to more and a bit of back story.
Comments from author:
Thanks! The back story will come kind of gradually, and it might be a bit, but it will show up. The summary says a bit too much that way, maybe, but I couldn't think of anything else to say that sounded even remotely readable. "The Firefly crew stumbles across a man with a questionable past" just sounds so cliche:p

Review:
great job, can not wait til Xander is back at the ship, think he and river will get along very well, would be the only one that doesnt think he is crazy
Comments from author:
Thanks! Oh yeah, I have a couple good (at least in my opinion) River - Xander interactions. Psychics are fun, after all!
