How did you get involved in writing for Firefly? Did you pursue it with Joss or did he approach you and say ‘Come on over here too?


It was pretty much ‘Come on over here, too.’ He involved all of [the writers] in the very early discussions of what the show would be. He told me early on that he was planning a space show and it would involve those characters. I tried to have input into [the show] but he really had [the characters] so well thought out. I remember a very early conversation that we had where I accompanied him to a store where he had to buy a gift and we were talking about how Mal (Nathan Fillion) got the ship and what Mal’s status was before the war. I was just asking Joss questions, thinking I’ll hit a question that he doesn’t have an answer to and that will help him formulate the show but every question I asked – he had the answer to it.
