We've got some talented writers.

I've done audio production for around 15 years; spent most my life in radio. I love radio dramas. Lots of anime and some brit scifi fans make fanfic audio dramas; I've voiced som Doctor Who and some crap anime ones.

Would anyone think the idea ludicrous if we considered putting together some of our own fanfic eps of Firefly? I've got the studio. I can track down sfx and music.

Where would you broadcast it? Who would you get to play all the characters? How would you get all the voice talents to record their voices for your "radio" show? Who would write the scripts?
Just curious.

I kind of love this idea but kind of fear it. I was just reading an article about the new Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoons coming to Cartoon Network and how, except for Anthony Daniels, no actors are available for their voice roles. The idea of "scab" voices bothers me, especially with the beloved crew of Serenity.

But...Ohh... Firefly radio shows.

There would need to be a narrator, of course. How do we keep this from sounding like The Dukes of Hazard?

I've done quite a bit of drama. Would so love to see this take place and to be involved. Why not just put them together and mix them into audio files. They would take a lot less space than the videos. Though I must say I've seen some excellent fan vides from Star Wars fans. The HO brothers (AWESOME STUFF)

Anyway it could be done as a group setting in a studio and then remixed or even have a "cast" record seperate audio tracks and then have them produced and mixed together. I would so love to be a part of this shiny project. I am limited as far as equipment or software, but I consider my self dramatically talented, not to mention I taught drama for 5 years. and very enthusiastic. Oh, let's make this thing fly. We would have to get some fanfic authors permission, but I am sure these could be done with no red tape. This is so Ultra-shiny!!! We could do some type of tryouts via audio casette or submitted wav files.

I know it may not be the same as done by Joss & crew, but hey. It would sure keep Serenity flying. (e-mail me if you'd like)

Besides I've never watched any of the fanfics on the screen, but I've seen every one I've read. (think on that)

The way most of these work is that fans do the voicing...and I admit I've got some problems with that too.

They don't get broadcast (unless you can afford timebuys and legal issues with Fox and Mutant Enemy...), but they get posted on the net just like written fanfic.

Check out www.floorten.com for some Doctor Who examples. For Who the idea eventually grew into professional shows hiring the real actors and selling cd's. that would be at www.doctorwho.co.uk. The fans took over he show when the BBC abandoned it, started series of books and kept things going.

If one is produced and then encoded to MP3, I can make it available for people to download and get it distributed that way.
