Daniel,

Right now we are in the process of doing some stuff and would love for you to contribute in one form or another. I also agree that we need to plan out the seasons major archs, if any, and go ahead and break up the stories. We have already started to do a little bit of this but untill we get a site and know exactly who is going to be writting eps and who just wants to contribute and who wants to beta read we can't do much.

>Episode One: Objects in Motion
>Inara goes to pick up a future companion
>The crew get a job from Hui.

>Episode Two: Objects at Rest
>The crew find serinity missing

I think that everyone is pretty much agreed on these two episodes and we've all enjoyed what has been written so far and posted on the boards. I look forward to seeing the rest of these eppys.

>Episode Three:
>Inara begomes ill before a big event on a cruise >liner and Kaylee must pose as a companion to >pull off a hiest. Jayne must pose as her client

A comedy episode, though it might feature Atherton Wing. I think this would work and could be a real FF episode.

Oh, and the liner in question might just have a bit more in common with the Lusitania than y'all might expect.

I'd welcome any and all help with this.

I'd also recommend that we shift this episode to a later slot as we need to dispose of the trainee companion if we want Kaylee to take a role on the liner. Or do we abandon the trainee companion storyline entirely ? Perhaps slip it in later ? We can always explain Inara's absence as she was 'seeing' a client ?

>Episode Four: Testimony
>This is what im working on The crew pick up >passengers who are on a pilgramigage. Reveres >are in this one.

>Episode Five: Flashback
>When Wash is injuresd the crew rember some of >their more intresting times with the ecentric >pilot.

I like these two and would like to offer my help with Testimony and some of the Reavers scenes.

------------------------------------------------

JAYNE: Anybody remember her comin' at me with a butcher's knife?

WASH: Wacky fun.

JAYNE: (annoyed) You wanna go, little man?

WASH: (flippantly) Only if it's someplace with candlelight.

One of my favourite Wash/Jayne segments.

thanks for the repost. I dont know if we are abandoningthe trainee or not. I think we are. So for now lets say that she is our with a client. We can change that latter if needed.

We can slip your episode into a latter slot if you want. Phil and some one. Im sorry I dont remember the name are working on Flashback Ive got testimony but welcome any help and you are doing the kaylee story arent you. I dont know who is helming the first too but I think that every one is going to help out on this episode.

Hey Begal,

Phil and I were wanting to work on #5 about Wash.

Who's outlining the first ones so that those of us at the end know what's going on?

Also, is it time for a Virtual Thread 3?

Thanks Sara.

Question 1. Do we have a volunteer to helm the first two eps.

Question 2. Can someone post a brief outline of these episodes in scrip format ie

Teaser
The crew talk about the need for a job. Wash mentions that a friend on Isis may need their help. Inara has a client planet side that she wants to see.

Act One
Inara leaves. Some members of the crew meet Hui.

Act Two
Simon meets Hui and learns the plan while Book and Jayne entratain River.

Act Three
what ever

Act Four
The crew return to the landing site to find the ship gone.

Teaser Ep Two
Recounts the high points from the first ep. Shuttle one crashes.

Act One
We learn that Badger or some one else a minon of Niskas perhaps has hijacked the ship for reason X.

Act Two
find the shuttle and repair it while talking to Hui.

Act Three
The crew decide to use one of Huis ships to get Serenity back.

Act Four
Serenity now under controll of the ship they deliver Huis goods.

The end

This is just an example and by no means the order that needs to be followed. The more we know though the easier it will be for some one to script these out.

I really have no preference for what I am doing. I am just eager to do as much work as possible. If you want, I could do the first two episodes. I will need to talk to you though about the exact plot and a bit more detail summary of the episodes. Once we establish that, I could start the second episode as soon as late tonight. In the past whe nI have doen scripts for stuff liek this, it was done so it would approximately actually take up 44 minutes of television (It was like approximately 45 pages long in Microsoft Word). Would you liek ot do it like this because frankly it makes sense to have them as long as they would have been. The one that was posted so far, I think is shorter so what do you want? You have my e-mail, so if you want just send me a more in-depth summary for these episodes, just explaining what really goes on in each act, and we can discuss where all of this is heading and such and I can get to work. The first episode is already done though, right? So this is really episode 2 and 3...

What has been posted so far is just a beginning for the first episode and I dont know exactly how it will work out. So far people have just been posting ideas in script form. I would love for these to be fairly close to actual script length but if not thats ok so long as we have a teaser and four acts.

Ill write you again tommorrow with a more detailed summary if you would like.

Yeah, I can do the first two episodes then and have them close to actual script length. I will look at the info that has already been done on the boards but I will more than likely re-script it, of course with the same plot and everything. It may take a little tiem i will really try to do them as quickly as possible though, two 45 page scripts though take some time. Thanks for keeping me posted on all of this.

Hi,

Are we doing these on the boards, then, or are there plans to move these to a separate site? My only thought is it may be a good idea to have a thread per ep, for the writing of it, and a thread separately for general planning, is all, although I realize this takes up a lot of space. Just a suggestion, cuz I'm often easily confused ...

Phil. (only slightly confused at this point )
