Ubergeek, I was in that thread.
It was one of the things that had confused me, when I was looking at the other threads. Thank you very much for the instructions on how to search. I belong to a few forums, but none of them search like this. I will learn.
Pardon the double post -- I would have made an utter muck of it had I tried to combine.

I've been in communication with Haken regarding establishing a dedicated space on the FFF.net home page just for Firefly and Serenity Fan Campaigns. Threads devoted to promotion and discussing different options for continuation of the 'Verse will live there. The area will be a "box" similar to the anchored "Latest Discussions" and "Real World FFF.net" boxes.
Wow, that sounds great! It's wonderful to meet such good-natured (your motto is inaccurate), and focused folk, 11thHour.

Haken is extremely busy with real life matters these days and often these site enhancements take a bit of time. He did however create a message board that I requested for "Firefly and Serenity Guerilla Marketing". Right now it rides the tides of activity like the other message boards... but as soon as the dedicated box is ready, all the threads under that message box will have a "sticky" place on the front page here.
I'll give Haken another nudge soon and hopefully this next stage of new FFF.net site features will be up and running soon... and there's more to come!
So every post about the future of Firefly we should redirect to that Guerilla forum here?
When you nudge Haken, would you ask him about the Insider's Guide to the Future of Firefly? And if we could sticky it to the top of that forum? Please?

Quote:For one, I heard it from Adam Baldwin himself, in person, on a couple occassions. He even alluded to the idea of a spin-off not being out of the realm of possibility (at the "Serenity Fan Fest" after the movie premiere in LA). I've also read it in several of Joss' interviews. It's too early for my brain to be working, but I'll try to find the interviews for you to read later.

Hell'skitten, forgive my ignorance but where did you hear this?
I guess, at very least, all the folks here who're attending Dragon*Con this year can ask him directly again.
Cheers.

That's where it all gets confusing though. It's true that not all the actors may be available for a new series of FF, but I don't think Joss has given up on it.
Whether a new series is ever going to happen could be debatable, but here's an extract from one of Joss's interviews:
(Can see the whole interview at http://homepage.mac.com/merussell/iblog/B835531044/C1592678312/E200509
16182427/index.html)
Q. Now, let's suppose that "Serenity" finds its audience and there's a chance to make another film or, God forbid, return to television. Would it be a prequel, as I heard Chris Buchanan hint at one of the fan screenings, or would it continue the story from where we left off?
A. I would tend to continue from where I left off. That doesn't mean…. I think what Chris Buchanan was probably saying was that, you know, we would get everybody -- and I obviously don't want to get all spoiler-y --
Q. Right. I know.
A. But things that seemed irrevocable, uh, well, are -- but the movie itself already has a bit of a flashback structure, and the show had it, as well. And I think there's ways to weave in important character pieces without ruining the momentum of a sequel that would, in fact, pick up from where this left off.
I'm not a prequel buff. I don't want to see "Mal and Zoe: The Early Years" with William Katt and Tom Berenger. I mean, I do. But I'm more interested in the consequences of what has come. Because the audience has experienced it. And for me, the audience experience is the other experience -- if the people in the movie aren't going through what the audience is going through, then I'm doing something wrong. And the audience -- assuming you have a sequel -- has seen the first one. So they've lived through it. And if the characters haven't, there's a disassociation that I don't think you can ever buy back.

I think it would be well to bring FF back instead of spending millions on new programing that they(and we) know won't fly at all.

What about a page that contains all this information we keep arguing about? Something that's not a forumn, but a place for concrete news about the 'verse.

Well, thank you, appreciate the comment. Actually the motto is a bit of complex one, but it still applies. I find the quote humorous, and it's somewhat of an inside joke I have with myself. I conduct myself in the world most often as Selina Kyle, but believe me, Catwoman is lurking within all the time. I just have to get angry enough, and she'll rise to the occasion.
Best though not to have her assistance unless absolutely necessary. Her way of addressing matters always carries consequences...

Funny you should ask.
Having an area where newbies can access important background info about what's happened, where we are now, and where do we go from here, will be part of a brand new area my team and I are developing.
Is this what you meant by "the Insider's Guide to the Future of Firefly?"
Really so great to see your enthusiasm! There is so much passion with the new fans and there are a lot of useful ways we can focus this renewed burst of energy to continue the 'Verse.

Yep, been on my mind too. Subjects like this will be included in the new area I posted an answer to SeaOtter about.
Another thing to keep in mind though that "concrete news" is a relative term. Things are always changing in Hollywood. Projects disappear and reappear on the radar all the time. You never know what might prompt renewed interest in projects, or what might shelve a project everyone that was a "go".
Actors also may not always have the latest news themselves... after all, who knows what type of meetings are taking place behind closed doors? Joss is good about keeping people informed, but maybe he plays some things close to the vest for a reason. There's a lot of strategy in the entertainment business and deal making that doesn't end up published in articles.
The most recent word from Joss on the subject of Firefly included a mention of his continued interest in telling more stories from the 'Verse. He also admitted (not a word for word quote, but the gist), that things for Firefly/Serenity are on the sidelines for now... less than hoped for box office returns being the central reason. But Joss is still interested in FF/S, he loves working with the cast, and they love working with each other. But he won't be waging the kind of battle he did to get Serenity made. At this juncture, Joss will have to be the one approached by a studio to make more.
A quote from Joss ~
"As long as I was able to service the characters with integrity and had enough money so that I wasn't hampered, then I would love to return Serenity to TV. I love that universe; it continues and those characters live on. There could be a series, there could be a miniseries, there could be all sorts of things. I'm not ruling anything out. I'll let it simmer for a while and see if anyone calls."
So, as far as I'm concerned, until Joss makes a definitive statement that he suddenly woke up and realized he never wants to be involved with Firefly/Serenity again, and the thought of working with the cast causes him intense intestinal distress, then I'm gonna keep fighting the good fight.
