PIRATENEWS:
This is a guerilla marketing brainstorming thread, intended for people who genuinely want to support the continuation of Firefly/Serenity... and to do so in a cool, creative and intelligent way. If you want to post fever dream rants (and a deliriously long list of fictional drug side effects?!) I invite you to start a separate thread.
You can title it: "Totally Whacked Consipracy Theories I Think of When I'm High".

Your post has been edited so that only the portion which addresses guerilla marketing remains.
The original post, in all its flamey entirety, has been moved to Troll Country. Here is the link:

I vote for mailing uncensored letters to Fox execs and to every TV network, to promote Firefly reuns and a new series. And I vote for using 11th Hour's artwork as letterhead, copyright-free. You can even send them at lightspeed as PDF emails. Anyone care to second the motion?
Note that this thread now sounds like any other boardroom meeting to decide how to market any other product. That's how things get done in the Real World.

Aha. So #11 is policing the entire FFF.net website. She puts the 500-pound "guerilla" in marketing.
Ah, the sweet stench of guerilla poo.
I noticed you censored my trolled post, and left out the best parts, and blocked me from editing it. What part of the First Amendment right to Free Speech is that? Or are you one of those Brits who considers the US Constitution an act of treason against The Queen?
The uncensored version:
Quote:
To believe that Joss' script has no relevance to its marketability is insane. To believe that Joss' CIA/MI6 employers don't care about Joss reporting on Top Secret CIA mind-control slave projects quacks of mind-control on this forum. Universal is owned by Carlyle Group, which is owned by Sir George Bush Sr Knight of the British Empire, British prime minister John Major, Queen Elizabeth of England, and the Bin Laden family.
Joss is a subversive soul. So long as he promotes vampirism, witchcraft and Satanism (which are REAL lifestyles of our world dictators at Bohemian Grove and Skull & Bones et al), he can employ his heros murdering mayors and bombing schools. I watched 2 hours of ANGEL's soap opera on TNT TV this morning, where Angel ordered a woman to sign a contract to sacrifice her baby in a Satanic ritual, and joked about "saving the world by murdering the mayor", and Spike joked about "saving the world by bombing the school", chasing a corpse's head and paying bribes to the Mafia for Wolfram & Hart in Italy, while all their ex-girlfriends gangbanged The Immortal. But discussing CIA's Project Monarch Manchurian Candidates is going too far in the eyes of the New World Odor Gangsters.
Firefly's propaganda value is also subverted by being the only scifi story ever created to allege space aliens don't invade Earth, which is also an official US Govt psyop to promote Global Govt dictatorship (aka The Alliance).
Which part of Truth made you go psycho, bitch?
If you believe the Fox boardroom don't discuss these facts, then you're truly insane.

I didn't censor anything. Just did a complete copy and paste, easy peasy. If there are any differences between the one I moved, and your "uncensored version", you put them there. Are you now resorting to lame tactics to support your paranoid fantasies?
You lack credibility, and manners. Moving your posts has more to do with keeping this thread on topic, and cutting down on all the bulk your incredibly long and off-topic posts create.
What's the matter, not enough traffic on your news website so you gotta post your rants here? C'mon....
I haven't deleted your posts, I moved them. They are still in existence for all to read. However, if you continue your very negative and disruptive posts, I'll just delete them. I don't have the time to keep moving them, since you can't seem to take a hint.
Hell of a way to start my birthday.
11th Hour
P.S.
I'm done moving your posts. If you continue this behavior, it will be considered harassment and I will take the appropriate action.
You've got a website. Go work on it

Bro, I think You are confusing a privately owned website with the US Government. The Government HAS to respect your right to "Free speech", however WE are guests in someone else's home here, and that homeowner has a certain code of conduct that they expect to be respected.
My Body is busted up pretty badly from protecting your right to free speech (among other things), but the code of conduct inside someone else's home is VASTLY different... The Homeowner makes the rules, the visitor respects them.

Our main goal as fans is to keep spreading the word, keep the demand for more Firefly/Serenity increasing. Then the studios will be motivated to make more because the 'Verse can be a great money generator, plus a critically acclaimed production, for them. That's a highly desirable combination for a studio.
But how will the studios know, that the fanbase has grown, if no-one writes to them? I read somewhere, that every letter they receive is regarded as representing a certain number of Fans ('caus only a few will write).
Spreading the word is great, but how can we make the "operatives" see and care?

I never said to not write to Universal. If you look at my quote in the context of my reply to the piratenews post, I was expressing the importance of how we communicate with Universal. We don't want to come across as demanding kids, that is most definitely the wrong tactic.
Writing to Universal can be a very positive and effective endeavor, so long as we do it the right way. I even moved "The Anniversary Job" thread, a letter writing campaign idea, to this guerilla marketing discussion board so that it can be noticed more and included better in our Serenity Summer Campaign.
There are some recent posts in the "Just so we're clear on Universal... " thread that has some valuable insights on how best to communicate with Universal.
