Let's shine a light on Nandi... (Thanks people! YOU RULE!)

 

So...

...i'm trying to clear my head and start from scratch about Nandi and see if the story i have in mind is right for her. Sometimes they don't fit the characters i hope they will - or that inspire them in the first place... Inara's done that to me - and Book - and River too.

So... my primary question is about time;
How much time between the Guild and the palais de tin foil in Heart of Gold.

I'm interested in where the girls came from - were they on the planet already - or did they come with Nandi? (yeah yeah, that's the ears on my plot bunny sticking up)...

The Dulcimer story;
I don't buy it, too neat and too funny, so what incident(s) caused Nandi to detach from the life of a Companion?

And lastly of course Nandi herself.
Who is she, what is her character and when did it chrystalize into the Nandi of HOG (Oh and there's the bunny's whiskers!)?

So - a lot of questions... I'd like to thrash em out on someone's lj age but shoot, everyone's disappeared!

Advice would be shiny!

Discussion would be the thing that comes after shiny!!:)

I always conjured the girls were there already, least some of 'em.

hello there:)

yeah - me too, but then Nandi must have really had some magnetism for them to cluster round which she may have done! she's pretty magnetic!) but it means (IMHO?) she must've been on planet bacalite for quite a while... i mean she aint the kwisatz haderach, no miracles and a sudden following... so that's time a bunny could chomp happily maybe... maybe...

True - a lot of short hand in that though. The more i listen the less i hear. It tells us a lot about her ability to see into folks but then it gets kinda foggy for me, because we really only see her interact (in depth) with Mal.

in fact i think that's what's nagging me fic wise, a lot of writing out there is two character stuff and mighty fine a lot of it is at that, but I wanna see Nandi in amongst a bunch of different people, see how she reacts.

I would love to read some Nandi fics. You could even share them on [livejournal.com profile] scifi_muses. Be nice if I wasn't the only one writing the 'Verse there.
