Lordy, nuke, you have created a thread which could only be called:
(Ta-da! Ta-da!)
============
A FIC MAGNET
============
Y'all are so creative.
I'll make no mention of canon (:koff: older brother? :koff:) or of series ender (Mal/Inara clinch) but just say go for it, and don't forget to stow the knitting needles during re-entry, in case of turbulence.
"Bridge-bunny" -- love the idea.
Android? You're a scary dude. I've been reading your thread.
Peregrine -- related in any way to Millennium?
It's all good, as the lady says.
If you encounter The Bluebell, look for me.

The word peregrine means roving or wandering, which would fit my character rather well. Plus the peregrine falcon is the fastest bird on Earth-that-was, so what better name for my ship. I got to thinking that my character would be involved in some kind of racing league, which is where I get a lot of the money to buy all my fancy gadgets and ship modifications.

Heh, mattcoz, I'd thought of Peregrine myself but was sure I'd get busted.
I'm a Peregrine falcon fan. Nesting season is underway in the Northern hemisphere.

I'd be a rancher on a rugged world that looks strangely like the Southern California desert of earth-that-was. I'd have a big extended family living around me and we'd make all of the ranch hands family too. I'd be the matriarch of the clan and I'd get into trouble with lawless thugs and the BDHs would come help us help ourselves. We'd end with a celebration with dancing and drinking - but NO WEDDINGS. And the BDH would promise to make our ranch their base any time they returned to our planet in future.
Oh, and one of my sons would develop a giant crush on Inara and would moon around for weeks until someone explained to him what Companions are and do.

We don't get many Peregrins in Ireland *sigh*. Plenty of Magpies though. Which when you think about it is a good name for a ship run by a crew of dubious repute, since they're known for robbing shiny things
A fic magnet thread - hee hee! Subjects like this always are. They can be great for thrashing out ideas though. I love some of the ideas people have come up with here. We should have a regular fic discussion thread. For one thing, it might spur me into some actual writing instead of just dreaming up random ideas and never doing anything about them. And I'm sure it would be useful to at least a few people who aren't me.
On the subject of this thread - are there any other would-be companions out there? Is LittleAlbatross the only one, or did I miss one? I thought loads of people would want that kind of role, since you get to wear the best costumes

Damn it, Ravenhair, you stole my line!
Seriously, I'd be first in line to be one of Jayne's whores any old time.
We could work on different moons, I'm sure there's enough space in the 'verse for both of us. And there sure is enough Jayne to go around. I"ll share if you will!

After playing the Serenity RPG I have an idea of who I'd write myself in as in the series. My character is a bit like Mal and Shepherd. I have strict morales (I don't bully people or shoot someone who doens't have a weapon in hand) and I have a very strong prejudice against the Alliance.
Most likely I'd be one of Mal's war buddies with a ship and crew of my own now. Mal and I would see eye to eye on a lot of things but couldn't stay together for too long since we both want our own freedom of being captain.
Most likely I'd be calling Mal in on a favor for saving his life in the war or something along those lines and my life and/or the life of my crew are at stake, and most likely the Alliance is behind it.
The only time I'd probably show up again in the series is if Mal needed my help, particularly with Alliance problems (in which I'd help for free), seeing as I have a very strong hatred for them, possibly stronger than Mals...ok maybe about the same.

I'd kind of like to be a passenger, come on board Serenity cuz the major airlines (?) were either not available at that particular small town/moon, or maybe because they were too well policed - which might be interesting or scary, depending on if I'm feeling adventurous or not.
Not sure what I'd do once I got there except hang out and enjoy the vacation, just enjoy being there.
Probably something would go wrong at some point and there'd be a little delay in our travel plans while Captain & Co. got themselves out of another mess - but intact and with no new scars, I must insist on no new scars. When we arrived at my destination, I'd magically come up with more money to stay on board. At least until I got meself shot for playing in the cargo bay. (I *loves* that cargo bay!)
Oh yeah, and I'm also magically 30 years younger, and pretty, which hopefully the Captain would notice at some point. 
*sigh* back to real life.

Wow, this is turning into a pretty good fic magnet, huh? ;p Hadn't thought of that potential. Maybe I'll have to get off my gorramn rear end and start working on some fanfic like I keep telling myself I'm gonna :)
Good repsonses here, and wow... lotta variety, too... Joss ever runs out of ideas WHEN we get some more 'verse all he needs to do is look to the 'coats for some inspiration
(Also, good to see no-one's come along to kick Nathan off the ship lol :)

Better not!
"You can take my Captain when you pry him from my..." EEK! *gross!* Nevermind. Anyways I think you know what I mean. Joss is Boss, Nathan is Mal. Gotta preserve the natural order of the Universe here.
