another thing i just thought of might be to have the older character eventually become the captain, or authority on the ship. But he doesn't want to be in charge, he wants everyone to be equal and have a fair say, so he could say something like "i'm not the captain! i'm not in charge. I won't see this ship turned into a tyranical dictatorship with one man telling everyone else what to do!" just becuase it would be somewhat ironic. (later when it's serenity, Mal is completely in charge and tells everyone what to do.)
Not to make Mal sound like an evil dictator by any means. I just thought it might be kind of funny.

Here's an idea, one of the crew could be a scientist- a scientist with a dark past- a scientist who worked on the PAX program. He is ashamed of what he had been working of.
"I am become death, Destroyer of worlds" sort of ashamed.

Since we all think that Book has something like this, it'd be nice to introduce something like that.

Are you sure that Star Gate SG-1 isn't in that list as well?

I would love to start a "Chat Event", but I don't know how. I'm loving all the ideas... I like the scientist idea and I think that it can play an important part in the story.
How do you start a "Chat Event"? or maybe someone can start it for me.

Hi all, I'm new here, but not new to Firefly.
It's funny you should make this thread at the same time I've been working on my own new Firefly series. I'm not much of a writer and can't really do anything else related to making a show, I'm more of an ideas man. So I'm just going to throw my ideas into the pot and you can decide for yourselves if you like them.
First the crew:
Captain Derek Fletcher: (male) Browncoat who lost everything he had to lose short of his life during the war. That makes him an angry and bitter person who just wants to be alone. He would be except he got lost and almost died, so he needed a pilot.
Pilot Shazza Bohn: (female) Haven't actually come up with a personallity for her yet, so she's still up in the air. But she's very loyal.
Mercenary Jack "Thorn" Thorburn: (male) Captain Fletcher bought his allegience and has it until a better offer comes along. Other than that, don't have much on him.
Prisoner Zekk Leong: (male) Escaped convict. Killed Feds. Not pro-Independant either. He'd kill you if you looked at him wrong. He stays because the captain owed him a favor.
Mechanic Tekimo "Tek" or "Mac" (haven't decided which yet) McNamara: (male) He's best described as a "90's Californian stoner." Has a habit of calling the captain "Boss." Very gifted with whatever engine is powering the ship.
Doctor Dawn Zahra: (female) Long story short, she had a terminal illness so she transferred her consciousness into a robotic body. (I describe it as a supped-up Lovebot). No personality planned out yet.
The plot:
The series starts out about a month before "Serenity-The Movie" for the sole porpose of establishing the characters. It's pretty much like the Firefly series we knew, searching for work and doing jobs. Then out of the blue the signal (the one from the movie about Miranda) gets recieved and the show moves into a pre-war mode.
That's my ideas in a nutshell, I have more backgrounds and future story ideas. If you want them just ask. So take 'em or leave 'em, but I'm making my own fic series out of this, however it would be great if I could see it on screen and not just in my head.

If you go into this chat:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/fireflychat.asp
There is a button that says "Start Chat Event". If you click the button, you can input info into "The FFF.NET CALENDER", so i assume you just do that.
I have only actually been in this paticular chatroom once, for a few minutes, so i really dont know much about it either

STUPIDERLIKEAFOX, You have some really good ideas, but the crew sounds pretty similar to the crew of Serenity. I think it might be more interesting to try and go with characters that are completely different, but might be in the smae kind of situation.
again, just my humble opinion.

There is a group of us writing episodes of firefly right now. Would be neat if you guys wanted to animate the teaser or even the entire episodes.
check it out at

May i suggest a chat event not on the site? It could get confusing with all the folks typing and random folks popping in from time to time. They may not like the chat being taken over either. Perhaps we could set up a group chat on MSN, AIM, or YIM.
Okay, so I'm gonna be the annoying fan that keeps after all of you to get the show completed. I can proofread. I can do some graphicy-type stuff...not cgi though, textures make me crazy. If'n you ever decide on a shoot location, i can be craft services or an extra or the surprise breathrough understudy.
