Fireflying again

Friday, October 21, 2005 7:35 PM

Just finished my first fic. http://www.fireflyfans.net/bluesun.aspx?bid=5395 It's a quick alternate opening scene for the movie. I'm relatively pleased with the way it came out because (1) I finished it in a single day, which is quite an achievement for me, and (2) writing in this verse didn't feel like a struggle.

Shifting gears...

There's been some talk - http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=14151 - about organizing fans to directly fund new Firefly episodes. I think it's a great idea, but there seems to be a lot of pessimism around ("My cousin's best friend's sister said that'll never work.")

If enough people bring the idea to Mutant Enemy/Sci-Fi Channel, they'll at least listen. Especially with the great ratings the show has been getting lately.

Some people have said they're willing to commit up to $5,000, and that's with us just barely mentioning the idea. Think of how much money we could raise if we organized everyone. We're talking millions.

Edit I've typed up a letter explaining the situation that I'll be sending off tomorrow. If anyone else would like to do the same, here's the address:

Chris Buchanan, President
