I have a new fic but ......

I have finally gotten my writing mojo back but there's a problem. I have a pretty good Mal/Inara post BDM fic that's been on my hard drive for a while. I have fiddled with it some lately but there are some things bugging me about it.I really can't get the snarky UST between them to come out. In fact, they are down right civil to each other. And they actually talk to each other. I guess they are still in shock.
Let me know if you guys want to read it but I still have to get it to some conclusion.
AGHHHHH! The brilliant person that said writing is easy has never written anything.
BTW I'm also branching out a little bit. I have written a True Blood fic that's on my LJ (http://fireflyfaninnc.livejournal.com/24584.html and http://www.fanfiction.net) and I'm working on another.
Bill Compton of TB is more than a bit like Mal Reynolds to me in several ways. But that's another blog.

Writing is easy, but as the cliche goes, easy writing makes for hard reading.
I think I speak for everyone when I say, yes, we want to read your Mal/Inara goodie. And the fact that there is no conclusion is perfect, in that it mirrors the Mal/Inara relationship.

I've read plenty of stories where they're civil to each other after the movie, I even played around with it a little myself (before Mal screwed it up). I think the basic reasoning is that maybe, with how near death they came, that maybe they realize it's pointless to pretend anymore.
Post away. :)

That's how mine started, they were actually civil towards each other and their relationship (whatever that might be) was actually healthier. BUT as i kept writing and got into the flow of the characters Mal was still Mal and Inara was still a Companion and angst and arguing ensued...
If they are TOO civil try throwing in something to shake things up. A person for jealousy, an event where they are thrown together for too long a time or an occasion. Reveal more of their personalities to each other and then if you are really stuck...just go watch an episode and really watch how they interact.
I sound like the biggest script nerd right now hey...
Can't help it, i love it...
Leaving now

People (men a momenfolk) are civil to each other the most when they are having sexual relations. Might be a good way to show the nominal period between their personalities. Once they hit a period of tumult the fighting can start again. Let them have their peace, for now... :)

Yes, yes, and yes. Oh, and in case my meaning didn't come across ... YES. We have to read this. As for the conclusion ... well, you could always make it a two parter and ask for ideas on how it should end!

I'll throw my voice in here too and say yes, post it! Always need more Mal/Inara fic, even if it has no conclusion (believe me, I'm the *last* person who'd ever complain about *that*!!)
