Another Project

What am I doing?? I agreed to write a story for Love Has No Boundaries, an anthology put out by the M/M group on Goodreads. But I couldn't resist!! I really couldn't. Look at this prompt, and you will so see what I mean. I COULDN'T resist!

Jayne Cobb, of Firefly fame, struck me as a man deep in the closet, striving to be hyper masculine, and completely misogynistic, simply to hide his attraction to men. I’m thinking Kinsey 3 or 4. This would also explain his extreme dislike of the shy Dr Simon (who we now know was played by a gay man).

I’d love to see a post Serenity, space opera treatment of someone like Jayne’s self-realization. Now what would be his type…hmmm…what man would finally drive him wild enough to face up to his repressed desires. It should include all of the attendant emotional turmoil (inside monologue) of someone with his low IQ and high survival instincts, and yet include the outside language of someone who was trained to say as much with as few words as possible. This man has depth, but the waters are pretty murky.
Anyone take the challenge?

I am so very weak. So very, very weak.
