Our website will go live again with 10 things a Browncoat can do now!
The 10 things will evolve as new initiatives come alive, new shinys arrive to buy, etc.
We are working on other features as well, but this one will be first.
We hope to up and running again by the end of today.

Hello everyone! Long time no post. I've been working hard as a first year teacher, so I don't get to play on the net as much as before.
Well, anyway, my Mom was going to contribute to this venture, and I told her that I didn't trust it worth a darn. Luckily, his site folded before she could send him money. I'd like to point out that she doesn't HAVE extra money to throw away, but was going to do it out of her love of the 'verse. Browncoats, please don't let your love of the 'verse be used against you! Don't EVER contribute money to someone that you don't know and haven't checked out. I don't know Andrew, and I don't know if he's on the up-and-up, but with all the scams in the world nowadays, there's no such thing as being too careful.
Oh, and Andrew, if you ARE a con artist, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell indeed.

I'm glad that level of hell doesn't have my invite waiting. :) I don't know if you heard, but we gave back every dime of the money that was contributed. Not one complaint has reached me about not getting a refund.
It didn't 'fold' either I'm still here and I'm still contributing what I can. We just updating our website now although there are still typos and it's not finished, it is up.

I think there are a bunch of problems.
1. Are we sure Joss even wants to do more Firefly?
2. All of the actors are off doing their own thing now.
3. What reason would FOX ever have to let their copyrights go?

1. No we are not. He has indicated in lots of interviews that he is, though. However, no Joss - no show.
2. This is true. It might not (and can't) be the same show it was (new plots and characters of some sort have to be introduced. All of the people the crew worked for died too!) That's Joss' ultimate call. Not a reason to at least try.
3. No one is asking Fox to let go of their rights to the show. It is to buy the option on those rights for a limited time (usually a year and the n can be renewed) to produce new Firefly. Fox would retain permanent rights and would probably have right of first refusal. Right now, those rights are sitting idle earning them nothing. Optioning them to someone who is interested makes them money. They could be interested. Again, not knowing until the asking has happened.

Joss in an interview said,
"...There could be a series, there could be a miniseries, there could be all sorts of things. I'm not ruling anything out. I'll let it simmer for a while and see if anyone calls."
Sounds like he is interested doesn't it?, but maybe he is tired of being the one taking the risks? He has plenty on his plate now, but if someone presented him and Fox with a business plan that could work it would let him say "Yes".
Also, Joss isn't a perfect man with a perfect plan and he would probably abhor being though of as such.

I'm a little late getting here but I gotta respond all the same.
You asked that if we don't donate, to please let you know why.
Ok.
I ain't donatin' a cent.
Why?
I think it's a scam.
Pure and simple as that.
If it ain't then it ain't.
But my opinion is that this is a one big take to suck people in and get their hard earned.
If not, good luck to you.
Luc.
