Thank you VerseExplorer. 
Isn't it about time we did a BSC post about this?
Next week after Thanksgiving?
How does that sound? I'm afraid most of our BSC members will be gone home for visits.. so next week may be pretty quiet.
I think the week after would be better.
I'd need you to write it up and submit it to me, via email. I think you have my email addy. 
VE.. thank you for being such a forward thinking BC... we all really appreciate you!

I finally got around to listening to the commentary on "Done the Impossible." About half way through, one of the producers had a great idea. He said we should write into Oprah and tell her about what a group of Browncoats have done.
It takes so little time, and it costs nothing. If you've written one note, another one would be helpful. Ask to see Joss on Oprah, ask to meet one of the BDHs, and/or tell her about "Done the Impossible." Let's get the word out to those that don't know about the 'Verse.

I just read on Whedonesque that Gina Torres is in Chris Rock's new movie: I Think I Love My Wife. Oprah loves Chris Rock, so this would be a great time to ask to have Gina Torres on the show. It would be great to add that you know about Gina because you are a HUGE Firefly fan.
The movie does look good. You can check out the trailer at:

Thanks, FollowMal,
No problem. I've been a bit crazed with the holidays, too. Thanks for remembering to do it now. I am still writing about every other week. 
I figure sometime someone will take notice.
I was pleased to see that DevonNite started a thread about writing Oprah about the BDHs that showed up at the BBB (Browncoat Backup Bash) in Burbank when Flan 2 was canceled. (It's at http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=25913 if you want to check it out.) ZZetta13 wrote a letter, too. I do believe it's the volume of letters that will get us noticed.
I feel that the Browncoat community is something that would help to promote Firefly/Serenity. Although, I really would like everyone to know about Joss Whedon and his great writing ability, all of the BDHs and how committed they are to the show, and how charitable the Browncoats are.

Hello all,
I'm not sure sending Joss to appear on Oprah is a good idea.
I'm not a big fan of Tom Cruise, but I'll never forget what she did to him when Interview with a Vampire came out. She practically put him on trial in front of the world. To this day I think she's the reason he didn't make a sequel. (And while I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise, I am a fan of Interview with a Vampire.)
(Does anyone else remember this appearance?)
Well, anyhow, Oprah can be a force for good, but she can also be an unyielding force for evil. I'd hate to see Joss come out on the wrong end of that.

AnthonyT, I can understand your feelings. I just think that Joss could certainly handle a conversation with Oprah on any topic. I'm not a Tom Cruise fan either. I personally think that Joss is far more witty and intelligent, and that he could handle anything that would come up in the interview. He is the one that would have the final decision. If he didn't want to do it, he can always turn down the invitation to appear. I just think that we should make her aware of how great he is.
If you still don't think that Joss would be a good guest, how about one of the BDHs? I think any of them would be great especially with some of the new projects that they have coming in the future. You can write to ask to meet one of them.
Finally, I do believe that writing to her about the Browncoat community is a great way to let other know about the 'Verse. Even if you don't want to write to get Joss on Oprah, consider telling her about all of the charities that Browncoats have been involved in the past.

Bump!
This is a great idea! How is this coming along? Are emails the best way to go?
How about if we sent a copy of "Done the Impossible?" Would someone on her team watch it?
