This has already been posted at Whedonesque, but I figure us over here at Fireflyfans ought to check it out as well. Also, Joss got his own 2 cents in during the Whedonesque thread, which I included below.

The site in question:

Joss' comment in the Whedonesque thread:
---
I hate to have to do this, but this has become a legal matter.

Sirs --

"According to article 16C-12 of the M.P.A., no entertainment (intended for television, radio or internet broadcast) based upon existing licensed intellectual properties may in any way be allowed or approved of by creator(s) of said intellectual property. Further, upon notification of such unauthorized entertainment, said creator(s) is in no way legally sanctioned to comment upon same. Creator(s) shall in no way refer to said unauthorized 'show' or 'site' as "wicked cool" or "bitchin'." Examination of the ship (herein designated "Samsara") shall not be in any way legally awesome, and creator(s) shall not in any contractually binding way grin. The perpetrators of this entertainment shall not have fuzzy feelings, nor be, under penalty of fine or imprisonment, all up in themselves. Dag, yo."

I hate to throw cold water on a well-meaning enterprise like this, but that's the law. Meanwhile, I in no way eagerly await the first episode or think it's about damn time this universe was expanded just a little bit more. However, I think I can safely make one or two suggestions to help. One: Have the characters get into all sorts of shenanigans on a regular basis. Two: Always remember that the integrity of your universe's reality must be maintained unless you think of something cool. Three: Have Chekhov get really old.

Thank you for understanding my precarious legal position on this. I wish I could be more supportive, but I am a machine. An android cannot cry, except that nancy-boy The Vision, who, let me tell you, you don't wanna see "Terms of Endearment" with that guy, you can't even hear the movie.

Sincerely, The JossWhedonbot, model 421-C-aplhadog-12(defective).

Sounds interesting, never been a big fan of expanded universe type stuff, but I think I'll give this a good look.

That's too bad about Joss and his "legal obligations".

Wonder if they need a coffee girl?

Is it me, or does the Samsara look a lot like the Vampire from Wing Commander?

So...uhm...

WHO exactly had doubts that Joss didn't want to see his 'baby' continued?

This show sucks. He's so over-worked. It'll never continue.

I'm confused...WHAT"S SHE DOING ON THIS SHIP?!!!!!

But seriously, is this for real? A new TV series in the 'verse? go-se! It can't be true. That would be too good to exist in this feeble thing we call reality.

I'd sure like to know what station in Canada is supporting them, cause maybe I can get a contract to do cartoons for them. Always planning ahead I am, Sam.

No, I am not insane, I am crazy. Thank you for asking.
