Hey Hera,

I share your concern. Therefore one task should be, to assimilate new browncoats. I can only speak for my country, here. The problem over here is, that the firefly-show´d never been on TV. That´s why the masses do not know the show (on that background, the DVD sales in Germany are very good). UIP had to do some special screenings of Firefly in the movie-theaters when Serenity hit the theaters.

I made a post on a german firefly message board (with at least a litle activity going on) and invited them, to probably link to

http://www.fireflyday.com/

and too generally spread the news!

I don´t know about all that technical and legal stuff, and I don´t care. If you can´t do something smart, do somethin right!

I also made a draw for a letter and tried to invite them to write / mail to the german TV network RTL. They bought the broadcasting rights for Firefly / Germany back in 2003 (?!) and they never aired it! Can you imagine that?!

We´re going to suggest, that RTL´s doing an announcement on June 23rd that Firefly will probably be aired on german television...
Nothing might be coming out of that, but it´s a part of the action, that´s taking place in general...

And I´m going to raid a whole lot of other german message-boards in the next days.

Hallo Agatsu!

Auf dem deutschen Board ist leider nicht sehr viel los und auch vom Admin hab ich noch nichts gehört. Vielleicht kann man da etwas Schwung reinbringen (ich fürchte eher nicht). Aber immerhin haben die 200.000 Zugriffe in 10 Monaten, wenn ich´s richtig sehe. Hier der link.

http://48688.forum.onetwomax.de/area=8&topic=&reverse=1

Weitere Adressen wären z.B.

http://www.sf-radio.net/

http://www.serienjunkies.de/Firefly/

http://www.sf-fan.de (Kannte ich biosher ebenfalls nicht. Für SF-Fans eine klasse Seite!!!)

Im Briefentwurf an RTL greife ich nat. in Teilen das US-Original auf:

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

Am 23. Juni 2006 werden wir Browncoats, Fans der exzellenten und von Fox leider ruinierten SF-Serie „Firefly“, weltweit Kopien des Kino-Sequels „Serenity“ auf DVD erwerben! Dies tun wir einerseits um zu zeigen, wie viele wir tatsächlich sind und zum anderen, um Universal klar zu machen, dass wir „mehr“ wollen, mindestens jedoch ein weiteres Kino-Sequel! Parallel erfolgen eine Reihe internationaler sowie privater Aktivitäten, um neue Fans zu gewinnen. Angesichts der auch von Kritikern bestätigten hohen Qualität der Show, dürfte das ein untergeordnetes Problem sein. Unsere Bewegung wird täglich größer, und obwohl „Firefly“ nie im deutschen Fernsehen gelaufen ist - die Serie mithin einem breiten Publikum völlig unbekannt ist - sind die Verkaufszahlen der DVD´s auch bei uns ganz beachtlich!

RTL ist seit Jahren im Besitz der deutschen Übertragungsrechte für „Firefly“. Leider ist es bis heute nicht zu einer Ausstrahlung gekommen. Es wäre toll, wenn Sie oder Ihr Tochterunternehmen RTL2, als einer der wenigen hoffnungsvollen Häfen, die wir Science Fiction-Fans in Deutschland überhaupt haben, den Geburtstag des Schöpfers und Regisseurs Joss Whedon am 23. Juni 2006 zum Anlass nehmen könnte, um zumindest einen Termin für die Ausstrahlung im deutschen Fernsehen zu benennen! Alternativ geben Sie die Rechte bitte zurück an den Markt. Ich bin sicher, dass Sender wie SciFi an einem Erwerb und einer Ausstrahlung interessiert sind.

Falls du Anregungen hast,Agatsu,immer gerne!

Steter Tropfen höhlt den Stein.

A lot of longer posts on this thread.
I basically agree with this thought.
We should try to saturate fan-heavy areas w/bulletins. Especially for scifi people who don't necessarily traffic the site.

We want to ACTIVATE all the latent fans we can.
If we pick up some new ones, that would be shiny,
but activating the sleepers should be a priority.

hows about sending out links to the River Tam files again, they are short and really grab your attention when played out of order (aka the order they were released in) They were short but a very powerful recruitment tool for me. http://www.session416.com/complete_sessions

a short clip from the movie space battle would also rock.

I agree with reaching out to latent fans.

I would have put myself on that list until very recently. Where I live (Ireland), the T.V show never aired and dispite my interest in many things sci-fi, Firefly never popped on my my rader so to speak. It just never got much exposure here at all. It was'nt until recently a friend gave me a copy of the Box-set to watch, that i realised what had slipped by me!!

well, that was a double post to be bugged by. I mean, I wasn't even trying to say anything except to ask exactly what J6 was talking about in as few words as possible.
