Is this push being posted on any of the other firefly/serenity boards out there? I usually only read hit this site and Whedonesque...but I know there are other sites out there.

I know it's on the SciFi Channel firefly boards, the serenitymovie.org boards, and as a Facebook.com group. I'm sure there's more

Followmal has been nice enough to send it out through the Browncoat Signal Corp to dozens of BC Groups, and yes, I have posted it here, on serenitymovie.org, the OB, the Indiana BC Forum, and on Skiffy.

I intend to repost it and/or update existing posts tomorrow, just in time for folks to prepare for the 1st.

If possible we should try to get it on Whedonesque though. That site gets A LOT of viewers. Problem is they aren't accepting new members you can't just sign up and start posting. Anyone know someone with an account?

I'm a member of Whedonesque, DM, but we're not allowed to "self-promote" and their whole attitude about asking the PTB for anything is kind of... well... timid. JMHO

*************************************************

Firefly: Relit, to put it simply, is a project where we suggest to the Sci/Fi Channel that they use Firefly as a Summer Replacement Series in 2007. Many people have already sent e-mails to them on this topic, but we want to make an impression on the top Brass, so....

On Feburary 1st, We would like to encourage everyone to send Letters to either the President of the Channel or the Programming Department. We want to be taken seriously, so I would like to suggest that we Not send Overly decorated or "Fanboy" type letters. Let's keep it simple and to the point. Show them we're sincere and serious, and it'll improve the chances that they'll take us seriously.

The Mailing Address is:

Bonnie Hammer, President
The Sci Fi Channel
30 Rockefeller Center
New York, NY
10112

On Feburary 3rd, which is when the letters will probably arrive, we'd like folks to send e-mails to feedback@scifi.com as well. As in all our campaigns to get noticed and get something done, it's all about Numbers. So let's drown 'em in letters and e-mails on the 3rd!

Here is the e-mail that I've been sending. It should serve as a fairly good template for Letters and e-mails both.

Subject: Programming Suggestion for Summer, 2007

To the Sci/Fi Programming Staff:

Firefly is one of your more popular shows; Check the
Numbers from the last few "Marathons" you've had of
it, and I'm sure you'll agree that it's still quite
popular. It's also in the Interests of NBC/Universal
that it BE a popular Show. The Film Serenity is doing
well in DVD sales, and Firefly's popularity certainly
ties into that.

So... Here's what I have in Mind:
Firefly as a Summer Replacement Series

There are 14 Episodes, if you count the Pilot as One
Episode. Show the Series in the dvd Format, the way
Joss Whedon originally intended them to be. Sci/Fi
could have each Episode Introduced by one of the
Show's Cast, perhaps a different one each time, and
Joss for the Pilot Episode. The "Host" can intro an
Episode, and provide a tidbit of commentary or trivia
at the end of each Installment. Show one per week,
on the same designated night, just like a regular
Series.

The Production costs will be extremely low, compared
to
the cost of a "From scratch" New Series. It'll take
all Sum-
mer and Folks can Tune in, Same Time, Same Channel
each
week. It'll be a blast for those of us already
familiar with Firefly,
and Introduce an entirely New Audience to it as well.

This could generate enough renewed interest in Firefly
to bring
about interest in a Serenity Sequel, or perhaps a
Serenity-based
Mini-Series. Also, if Sci/Fi is in line for the
non-paying Cable
Premiere of Serenity, this would be the PERFECT
Tie-in!

I hope you all give this some serious consideration.
It could
certainly work, to the benefit of all concerned.

Sincerely,
Timothy Dale Brown

Thank you to everyone who decides to do this. It's a simple, practical way to keep Firefly alive and Flying. Hopefully, we can get Sci/Fi to at least consider it!
