I wrote this huge long outline and then lost it in the city today. :( Sad Deathray is sad.
And the Lee+Justice stuff goes on... "Fight for justice" became a euphemism for sex... then there were jokes about doughnuts from the Battlestar Rhapsody song. The full joke ended up being this- http://tinyurl.com/dnhp86
The chinese phrases... some came from one of the wikis. There are two Firefly ones, neither of them are as well put together as the Battlestar wiki which OWNS MY SOUL. I swear. I could spend hours just clicking around, with all the information about... everything. Even the most minor of details. I spent a few hours one day clicking through all the medical information. It's amazing. (And there was a hilarious thing I found about a cigar brand called Sarcoma)
ETA- that picture of the white board... it's up on facebook... and on that photo I am tagged as the doodle of Lee.
There’s something so distinct about each of Joss’s characters, they all talk differently and even with the wireless chatter I think it was pretty clear who everyone was. This is so true. I think what first drew me (and continues to draw me) into the Whedonverse is the characters, not so much the stories or plot lines. His characters are all so unique. And I love the banter. It really sets Joss apart from other television shows.
I probably spent at least an hour on either the Firefly or Battlestar wiki for each chapter. That is so very impressive to me.
Initially, I wasn't going to read this because I'm not a huge fan of commentary. But then I decided what the hell, I got nothing better to do, and now I'm glad I did. It was interesting to read about the thought process that you went through while writing the first chapter.
Now, I got to ask a couple of questions. First off, is there any chance of you posting a link to the post that compared the Alliance with the Colonial Military? I ask because I think it would make an interesting read. My second question is this, what the link to the 2 Firefly Wikis? When I searched the 'net, I only came across 1 Firefly Wiki and it was grossly lacking in info.
This is the post. It's not huge. It's just a few small conversations but it was thought provoking nonetheless.

Neither of them are as good as the Battlestar Wiki. They're both insanely lacking but then again with how little there was to Firefly it'd be hard to generate as much stuff but they could do better quality.

Your story about Lee+Justice cracked me up. There's something about that boy when he gets all riled up for the common good.....
I can only imagine how much research this fic must have taken. Did you find the Chinese phrases on the Firefly wiki?
I think that was great observation about everyone in the Joss-verse having a distinct voice. Bsg not so much but Firefly? Definitely.
