Hey troops! How goes the great letter-writing campaign everyone? I know it's a slim chance but has anyone gotten any responses at all? Any news to report? I myself have heard nuthin' so far but it's early yet.

BTW, I just read my "BrownCoats Rise Again" newsletter and wouldn't ya' know it, but they use the "re-light Firefly" slogan too. So we got that goin' for us...which is nice. (not SereniFly, but classic hilarity nonetheless for those of you familiar with this quote )

Anyone have any advice in how to start these letters? I'm having a problem starting it. Do we have any specific tactic or are we just saying how many there are and we would like original programming that seems to lack these days?
In the mean time i'm just going to try to come up with something. Help would be appreciated.

I started out by saying I'm a new fan of the original series and would love to see it come back. Figure this lets them know there's still new fans coming on board. If they read it. Bad news is my letter to Sci-Fi Channel got returned as "undeliverable as addressed". So maybe they really don't accept any unsolicited mail from fans. Bummer. Hm. I'm in the mood for some postcards...

I was gonna message you, OldFogey, because I knew you would have good advice for all of us on how to generally word our letters.

Maybe we'd better stick to bombarding the SciFi Channel with emails re: programming. They seem to accept those and even mention them some in their SciFi News and such.

Kaele and I were talking last night about postcards being the way to go. Short and sweet and to the point and we can mail many. Or mix them up, mail letters somedays... postcards another. I kinda figure they aren't gonna want to open all the letters, so the postcards will have more punch.

Did I miss the Universal address? I've been so busy in RL and on here that I can't remember where we posted that....

Hi,

Re-light Firefly - is a great slogan, going to use it.

Question here, should we include a link to the site ( http://www.fireflyfans.net)? The community is well organazed and is not fanatically blind. We have common sense. Could be a plus. What do You think?

Keep flying.
Doffe.

Doffe, I am going to include a link to fff.net from now on. I didn't in the first letters I sent because I didn't think about it, but I WILL now.

And yea, I like Re-light Firefly too.

Hey folks! I don't have any news to report at the moment, just trying to keep the thread current. Cheers!

How's the campaign going for everyone else? Any changes to report? Any thoughts?

There are some great, albeit, limited Serenity/Firefly postcards on Cafepress.com. Does anyone have an account there and could maybe design a new one, just for this campaign?

Maybe on that says on the front: Re-light Firefly

It could just be on black so technically they couldn't get us for copyright infringement or anything. Just a thought ...

And I think Sci-Fi is the way to go. After watching BG on Friday night, I just kept thinking how awesome a Firefly lead-in would have been to that. Plus they're doing some "Dragon Slayer" mini-series ... I mean, come one, if they can do the "Wizards of Earthsea" and "Dragon Slayer" what's an 8-hour Firefly mini-series gonna hurt? Just some thoughts! Thanks to all for keeping the ship flying!

Totally with you on that! I've been thinking that and wondering if that just wouldn't be the best way for Firefly to come back on the small screen. How BSG was resurrected and reimagined seems phenominal to me, and FF would be a great lead-in for sure! I'm not sure if it's truely a Fox matter of selling the TV franchise rights that would keep it "as is" or if it would have to be marketed and ran under "serenity" since Universal appears to own that end of the movie franchise.. On a unique note, ?NBC/Universal owns and operates SciFi.. so... hmm.

"...use of a swhat??"
