Again, if you guys let me know when an episode is done, I'll post the completed script as a feature on this site and add the episode to the episode guide and list it as a virtual episode, which means that people can review it, etc..

Oh, and btw, do you all want a separate forum area? Something like "Virtual Firefly"? Let me know and I'll add it.

I think we plan on moving all of this to a site, we just don't have a site yet. Haken, thank you for your kindness of not only giving us the opportunity of having a forum of our own but actually adding our episodes to the episode guide. It is very much appreciated and these scripts will not let you guys done. Firefly shall live on.

I don't know whose intentions you've visited.

I think we should keep the virtual eps here--planning threads and all. Haken has been a kind and generous site admin thus far. It's a great board, we'll all very creative here and things are working out.

So, maybe things would be a mite easier if Haken created a separate "room" for this, akin to the Blue Sun.

Not trying to be bitchy, just making sure gift horses don't get looked in the mouth.

Yeah, having a board devoted to us would only be very kind but convenient. We could hae a sectionfor the actual episodes, another for planning them, one for deadlines, and whatever else needs to be taken care of.

Haken

I would love for you to add the eps for review. And to have a board or something butt i think we are going to create a site so that people can download the episodes.

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

Lost Angel and I are working off line on this. Here's what were thinking in response to your points:

Quote:
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.

Much of this will be entered mid stream and we won't see Inara leave at the top of the episode. It will mostly be Wash, Mal and Simon going into town for the deal with Hui and Book, River, Kaylee and Zoe on Serenity while Jayne and Inara will pick up in part two, "Objects At Rest".

Quote:
Act Three
what ever

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

Not happening. I'll leave this to someone else to do a whole episode on or to do in another story, but it is too much for this one. This episode will run through the deal with Hui and the sabotage by Jubal Early as I outlined previously (at least that's what I intend - gotta cover this with my partner in crime). The shuttle blows and crashes. The End.

Quote:
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.

Never saw this anywhere, but what episode two of this will be about is, starting where Simon, Wash and Mal go off to meet up with Hui to secure the deal, the leave Zoe in charge. Zoe lays down the law with Jayne because he's being an ass about River's condition and he and Book nearly come to blows, so she kicks him off ship and tells him to be back in Mal's time table.

Inara, explains that she can see an old client, pleasure not business, while they are here and goes off to do so. He is very old and she will visit him for what is probably the last time. He's an old general from the Alliance side during the war, so she tells no one the truth and gets mixed up in some manuverings by his family to do away with him. She take smatters into her own hands and there are questions as to her criminal nature by the end. Sometimes Companions must do things that normally they'd regret, but at the right time are appropriate.

Jayne goes carousing and ends up getting tagged by a prostitute who is reporting to Allience Operatives when he starts muttering drunkenly/bragartly about Serenity and what Mal did (putting him in the airlock and all). This thread could lead to Serenity getting nabbed in the other story.

However, the primary plot will be entirely character driven and be Zoe, Kaylee and Book trying to get at what is wrong with River only to discover she's in a recharge mode of sorts. Her programming may be nutralized for a while but there's no way to know for how long. There will be much more about Zoe's strength as a motherly leader, but also a great deal of Book being "normal" rather than being Preacherly. Kaylee will take care of River while Simon is gone and they will begin to develop a sisterly bond, and while River is semi-catatonic, Kaylee will talk about her feelings for Simon. Since "OAR" will end with Simon and Kaylee kissing scene after the shuttle crash, they "get together" and can have a romance in further stories - take that where you will.

End with the last scenes from episode one (shuttle crash and all) only this time from the POV of those left back on Serenity. Simon and Kaylee kiss - "chosing paths" lines from Simon.

The end

Mal: “The next time you decide to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face.”

Sorry, didn't mean to confuse--I was just wondering, as I'd seen it mentioned by those organizing. I agree that this is a great site and I'd love to keep it here (I really like the idea of a separate section on this board, actually, but it's up to those organizing)--I was only suggesting that once an ep starts getting actually written, a new thread might be useful--we could see the script taking shape--and if not, no problem--just a thought. :-)

I want to thank you LB, for taking this free-for-all and shaping it into something organized, yet fun. (I never did see the two of them work together) This is really shiny and I can't wait until we have our own play room.

I've been getting email at home from lurkers begging for more stuff! I can't believe it! I directed them all to this thread, and hopefully this will call out to Joss and other biggies in ME.

OK, that's my little pep talk for now. Gotta write!

WASH: So?
