One very important part of the Campaign is letting the world know about the greatness of Firefly and the upcoming Serenity movie. So how do you folks do it and which method works best ?
Do you make posters and postcards, do some browncoats post on other message boards and alert people on other sites about Serenity. Have you loaned out your DVD to friends / cousins over the Holiday Season?
I know there are some Farscape fans that are also fans of Firefly, do you think some of the methods used by the Farscape fans would work well with Firefly/Serenity ?

I give the Firefly dvd set to people as a gift.
This holiday season another five sets went out from me to friends who hadn't yet watched the show.
When I get the inevitable "why did they cancel this show?!?!" phone call after they have run through the discs, I inform my friends that the Serenity film is on the horizon!

How do I spread the word? I just never stop talking about Firefly. I went to my boss to schedule the day off for September 30th. She asked me why and I told her that was the day "Serenity" premieres. She said, "Isn't that in April?" So I guess she was listening.
Also, one of the most preppy and UN-sci-fi appreciative people I know stopped me at work and said "I was Christmas shopping and I saw the Firefly dvd set and thought of you."
I guess the key for me is to continually reference the show (and wear my Firefly apparel on a regular basis) until people start paying attention...or beat me with the chain of command. Whichever comes first.

I lend folks my old VCDs. Hold on to the DVD set (treasure it like a rain stick). On my last two business trips I played the DVD's in the airport while waiting to board my flight. A couple people started watching. It didn't work as well as I wanted because I couldn't set the Laptop up in a place that would catch a lot of people's attention.

1. Go to 11th Hour's excellent Firefly guerilla marketing poster site:

2. Go to Kinko's and print out a bunch of copies -- I find that the mini-posters (quarter page) on orange neon paper works well.
3. Post them in every bulletin board, book shop, coffee house, community center, university, etc. in town (anywhere it's not illegal).
4. Laugh evilly 
Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

This probably doesn't count much since they had alreay watched the show on FOX and Space a little. But my brother and his girlfriend, who I share an apartment with, recently got a DVD player for Xmas. So I told them if they ever wanted to borrow any of my DVDs, they were welcome, but I only had a couple (X-Men, X-men 2, Spider-Man 2, and the Firefly ones). So a couple days later they asked to borrow the Firefly ones. They're just about on the last disk already, having watched a few every night since then.

I'm a fanfic writer, and I've been known to crossover Firefly with my main fandom (Blakes7), creating at least a nibble of curiosity in each fandom about the other.

In July, there will be a Sci-Fi convention where I'm at. Some friends and I are trying to see if we can get a room to have a Serenity Party since the release date is within a couple months.
