Yes. I wondered that as well. Why was there not that much coverage on these things. Especially now that war and natural disasters are about.
This will be a good outlet.
I hope this pushes through.

Is it Nathan Fillions B-Day or the character Mal's B-day. I'm embarrassed not to know...

Happy to help, tempest06.

Nathan Fillion's birthday is 3/27.
That's why we went to see SLiTHER
when it opened -- as a prezzie for
him. (But there weren't enough of
us, gorramit)

Captain Reynolds birthday is 9/20,
as determined by pausing and looking
at a booking record which is shown
in one of the episodes.

I like your idea for a writing project and
hope you can obtain the necessary cooperation.

Thanks floral bunny:
You know, I hadn't actually thought of trying to write Personality Profiles myself. Mostly what I do is try to explain the Child Support System to people who are caught up in the system with little to no information.
This would be totally uncharted waters for me. But, what the hey, maybe I should try... the crew went forward, even when things were scary. The worst that can happen to me is someone says no, it isn't like there are Reavers waiting...
Thanks...

If there are folks who are itching to write a letter, why not write to one of the popular mags and ask for coverage for our Captain? Parade magazine has a section called "In Step With" and it shows up in every Sunday newspaper printed here in Charlotte. Nathan's new movie, White Noise 2, comes out in January '07. If a publication received enough requests over the next few months, is it possible he could get a feature article?

Just a thought

Ooh, hey, I know how we can identify ourselves right off the bat...

When we write our letters, let's open them with "Dear 'Versal:"

Just a thought.

You're welcome, but you don't want to know the
instant scenario which began to play in my diseased
mind when I read the above portion of your
message.

There are some highschoolers I know that have started a teenage magazine. The first issue came out yesterday, and I don't know when the next one comes out. Anyway, I don't know how anything about how the magazine business works, but if you manage to do the article, would there be a way to print it in more then one magazine? Because I'm sure they'd love to have a celebrity profile for their new magazine, and the BDH's would reach about 5,000 more teenagers in the Texas area. Tempest, I know this probably wasn't what you were thinking about, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Or if not, maybe I can just get them to put some sort of Serenity ad in their magazine.


Anyway, I'm definitely going to try to go to and/or organize some sort of shindig. Or at the very least, force some of my non Browncoat friends to watch the movie. And I think writing letters would be a great idea.

purplepenguin, if a magazine buys an article
it owns it. However, a separate and different
article would be all right.

There are at least two Texans in Firefly:
Alan and Summer. That might make a basis
for an article. Dancer and gosling-juggler.
Yeah!
