What do you do when you can't accept Firefly is dead?

"Take my love, take my land..." etc etc.

What do you do when you can't accept Firefly is dead? You write the scripts for the remainder of Season 1 and Season 2.

I haven't actually read a full one yet, but they seem okay. S1Ep22 "Those that remain behind" is based on the (Whedon scripted) comic book of the same name that details why Book and Inara left (Book's reason is pretty cool).

There's also a script lying around called "Dead or Alive" which is (apparently) an actual unshot script. http://www.fireflyfans.net/feature.asp?f=45 I gather a few bits and pieces were used elsewhere, but I haven't read it yet.
