Oh, Jou in Firefly 'verse idea actually dates right back to the very same day that I thought up WotC. I was trying to think up fun fic titles. Witch of the Cards was one, and then From Here to Serenity was another. (I get all misty eyed think about that day, truth be told. It was very pretty, sun shining through these huge floor to ceiling windows and a large pile of Egyptology books beside me. I've been to bigger libraries, but that one was always dangerous in early spring.)
