hi CASSANDRA and all the others...

i would like to apologize for what i dit...
i'm realy sorry

you are right, it was wrong to think that you'll be happy when other fans could see and use your works...

i just cancelled the fan-art section of my website and also the banners that i used for the rotating title...
instead i postet a link to the blue-sun-room


but i want to try to explain

i build this side for the german speaking browncoats; yes i know there are not so many yet - but there
will be, when the show will finaly be aired in germany...

i'm happy about every visitor and i never wandet to make anybody angry, cause i built the site for the fans
and not against them.

to keep my visitors happy i'm allways searching the web for news and interessting things around firefly...
... and as you know www.fireflyfans.net is one of the best places to find these things...

so i found your fantastic fan-arts and thought, it should not be a problem to copy them to make my site
look better.

i know, you spent alot of time to creat these famous pics... i know that, cause i spent alot of time too
by building the website...


i hope, you accept my apology

(and sorry for my bad english...)


keep flying

Hi Hardy,

I was just going to write you a small note, but I have been busy. To tell you the truth, I think my temper got the better of me. I don't think the art section that you put up was bad, in general. I do think that you should have placed a caption or statement, stating that most of the work came from people/artists, etc, that had posted on the BLueSunRoom in the fanart page.

I know some people don't mind, and you know I wouldn't have minded so much had you asked OR at least stated where the work was coming from. I like sharing my work, for other browncoats to enjoy. Keep the show alive, a tribute if you will. But you didn't and well, I was annoyed a bit. Not just for my work, but for the work of others as well. And because too much theft is going around in the fanart/graphic community in general. And it hit a little close to home.

Because as Zoid said in another post, if no credit is given people automatically think it's the work of those who placed it on the site.

You probably weren't aware that it was wrong to just take. And that's not wrong that you did. Not all people are informed on net manners. It was a simple misunderstanding, that I'm glad got cleared up. I had time to cool down a bit, and anaylze things. Either way, it's good that this matter was brought up here at FFF.net. I think it did good discussing it, and a lot of important notes were brought up by all here. And still are as I write this.

I would never demand that you take the section down, unless you never gave credit to where it was due. Not even then I would, to tell you the truth. That's all up to you. And you're doing a great job in keeping the show alive for other new comers to the show. I would not snub my nose at that, ever. I admire it, as any fellow fan would.

Truly am sorry for blowing this up, when it could've been resolved in a different way--albeit more calmer than my first post. I know I came across a little harsh, as is my tendency.

I accept your kind apology, and begones be begones.

Kind Regards,

Cassandra E
