Welcome aboard GorramnNewbie! Glad to have you here with the rest of the Firefly / Serenity faithful. Make yourself at home.

Trust me when I tell you that we exhausted all avenues with Fox, hereafter known as the Devil Network. Joss shopped the show around to other networks, but the stigma that the Devil Network put on our show by cancelling it and mismanaging it insured that no other network would touch it. So, we had to settle for getting the DVD set of the series. We busted our humps to sell said set, which got Universal to greenlight the BDM (Big Damn Movie) "Serenity" which you should definitely check out if you have not already done so.

Now we are focusing our efforts on the Serenity Now / Equality Now screenings and the Summer of Serenity drive to sell the special Hell out of some movie DVDs and get us a movie sequel.

The best thing you can do for the cause is introduce the show and the movie to every single person that you know. Get them watching and get them hooked. Once hooked get them to buy the DVDs. The Powers That Be are only interested in the bottom line and that means sales figures. We sell enough we will get our BDS (Big Damn Sequel).

So, get out there and start spreading the word. Keep flyin'!

Greetings, and welcome. There's always talk of more. There is strong possibility of another comic (graphic novel) series. Of course you'll have to be sure & see "Serenity" the movie as well. Not to mention the necessary viewing of any & all commentaries & special features as well as watching in all the available languages...well maybe not so much the latter. The fine line between fan & fanatic is meant to be crossed.

Shiny!

Welcome MAILMANx, we're glad you're here.

Looks like you've gotten in on the strawberries and other goodies. New folks arriving really bring out the best in folks around here.

You need a browncoat..

*hands MAILMANx a browncoat from the storeroom*

Don't forget to spread the word about Firefly... to get some more, there has to be many more of us and they have to see we want more!

There are many things to take part in over the summer.. I see you are going to the charity screening near you...YAY! I am trying so hard to coordinate getting to go to one in K.C., which is the closest for me.

The DVD buying drive is good, and we'll likely have more of those after the initial one on June 23rd. Then it's a whole Summer of Serenity full of shindigs and celebrations and ....cons. Lots and lots of cons! Right now we have a list of all that shiny stuff under Browncoat Events on the front page over to the right.

Talk often.. we love to talk with others about our favorite subject.
See you around the board.

I know this has probably been discussed before, but wouldn't it be a good idea to decide exactly what we want, and who we want it from, and focus our efforts on it. Sure, it might want to wait until after all these screenings and such, but I think we should join all of our efforts together.

Personally, I think our best option is to get the sci-fi channel to do a mini-series. A series is a stretch even Browncoats may not be able to reach. But sci-fi is known for mini-series, and it would give Joss Whedon a chance to do a big plot, with time to do some good character development.

Just a thought.

A Sci Fi Channel Firefly mini-series is one of the best ideas I've heard so far to bring Firefly back!

I just knew someone would have a shiny idea like this.

Well I'm going to stay positive, the Serenity Versary is going to send a clear message, the film will be deemed profitable, hopefully they will look at the trend between cinema and DVD sales and think "you know what I bet a series would make a shed load more money now", then we will get another series, and I will run around like a maniac for 2 weeks straight, grinning and yelling "SHINY!!".

It has to happen, that's what we browncoats are all about, holding on when everything seems useless.
Make our dreams come true people, otherwise we will all end up tortured just like Mal, and nobody wants that (well okay I bet a fair percentage would, but still...)

FollowMal, hey you! Did you ever receive my message? Did 11th ever get to see my stuff (as she's an artist who does such lovely work, I'd be really interested to her reaction to some of my vids).

Hope all is well,
