Fireflies of the Old Republic

Hmm...other than the almost word for word match to the opening 10 min of "Serenity," this opening chapter really blew me away at how you've managed to meld the three disparate storyverses together. And even basically copying Whedon's dialogue and scenes isn't the epic fail it could have been because you used the existing awesome intro and subtly added the necessary parts to allow the HP portion to be integrated into the mix smoothly.
Gotta wonder though...we gonna be seeing the "Serenity" crew in this, cuz if the Republic is pre-Clone War, then I doubt we're gonna be seeing Han, Luke and Leia ;D

Definitely a new direction. Will Serenity still be Serenity? The Firefly class is unique, just like Serenity's crew. I always thought it was fitting.Fireflies of the Old Republic

Interesting start. This will be added to my short list of stories with potential.Fireflies of the Old Republic

This idea sounds very interesting, despite the first chapter being a rehash of the opening scenes of Serenity. I understand that sometimes that's necessary to set the scene and introduce people to how the elements of the crossover are going to come together.
I am looking forward to more, but please, PLEASE, find it in your heart to spare your readers and write in past tense. It's SO much easier to read and it's often easier to write, because when fanfic authors write in anything else, they tend to make mistakes and constantly slip into past tense anyway. In fact, you already have.
Other than the tense shifts, there are some typos and spelling errors (like the following) that should be addressed.
-The Operative, even after having years of MENTAL and emotional training, is unnerved by HARRY'S silence and his vacant gaze.-
-With a sudden clarity of THOUGHT he understands what the boy wants.-
-You BETRAY/RELAY secrets to others, I will kill you.-Fireflies of the Old Republic

Interesting start to what promises to be a great story. You definately have my attention on this one thanks to the unique mix of characters.
Could we also have a timeline of sorts as to how Harry came to be in cryo as in flashbacks or something on that line.
Definately looking forward to future installments of the story. Thanks for sharing.

I'm caught. There are a whole bunch of oddities built into your very precept, and i'm looking forward to the story. I wouldn't dare to launch something like this, but you're good enough.
Well received? You're kidding, right? You've got a standing ovation in this corner. May Robert Lind in Kramfors bless your keyboard!

Once again an awesome start to a story. Honestly I enjoy both this and lord of war, this probably a little more. But if I could suggest I'd just start focusing on one and write away instead of doing a couple chapters each. It increases your own writing abilities admirably and creates a follower for a story.
At the moment while you claim you will continue one of your stories, there's nothing really to go on and it seems like there both one shots that you will most likely abandon like so many others have. Post away and get a following, then you will find yourself posting because you enjoy it! That's if these aren't ment to be one shots that is.Fireflies of the Old Republic
