Oh, I'm with you on the nervousness, new stuff is always scary. I find I have to force myself to include more dialogue, but in the end, I think the dialogue more than anything is what makes the characterization work. Yes, if you have the characters doing anything too OOC, the best "voices" still may not save the fic, but bottom line, they've got to sound recognizably them. The shows are dialogue-based and we all know the voices, and the interaction/banter is part of their charm.
