No, I *want* to sink my teeth into him, I'm just not sure where to start biting.
I just stared reading the novelization of the movie today, and it's helping with getting a grip on the characters I think.

Oh, I could get my teeth into him...sorry. Kinda worrisome that I find him and River easier to write then most. But Mal is always fun.

That's funny, the ones that gives me the bejeebers to tackle is Jayne.
Getting inside his head could be scary. I'm not sure I wouldn't pass out from the testosterone.
got thwacked over the head by the spmuse the other night and whipped off (it shows) some poems.
It's the most sympathetic I've been able to get towards Mr Cobb. He's tough to get your teeth into without overdoing, I think. There's more to him than meets the .. anything, but I'm not sure what it is.

Wrote you a pm, but in case the space monkeys ate it...Love your shiny fics. Just wanted to say that I think I have a vaguely similar OC to yours (except she's Mrs Cobb!) so please don't think I'm poaching - I've been writing her since March/April.

Looking forward to seeing how you get Inara back into the line - I wimped out first fic, until I could get her 'voice' right. But writing messy little emotional triangles is such fun...

Feel free to pm me if you want to bounce ideas. (or garlic recipes!)
