My husband and I are hooked!
Someone lent us the series, we bought our own copy, and now lend it out to friends to get them into Firefly.
So we are trying to do our part - although in a small way!
Why with all the other crap that is on television today, did this quality series get the can???????

glad to have you on board!!!!!
Have y'all seen the movie Serenity yet?
I've a spare copy I can lend to you if you
haven't.
Life gets weird when you become a 'Browncoat' and you find yourself doing stuff like this.
Just let me know...
"It's said that 'power corrupts,' but actually it's more that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power. When they do act, they think of it as service, which has limits. The tyrant, though, seeks mastery, for which he is insatiable, implacable." The Postman

Thanks, but I forgot to mention we have Serenity as well. We like everyone to get hooked on the series first, then the movie makes more sense.

This is my first time to the FFF and I have been spending some time reading around on the forums and trying to brainstorm myself. I haven't seen this idea so i'm sorry if its been said already. But it hit me while just searching some of the features of the site.
While looking at the poll, how much would you pay every year to keep Firefly showing. A majority said $100 or more. So why don't we live that. Start now. A company needs to see that Firefly is a success.
What if People went out and bought, the movie or the series in the amount they said they would spend in a year to help, and give it as a gift/gifts to friends. If it would take one copy then so be it, if it would be 10 then so be it.
1.) you boost revenues of the show/movie
2.) Give people a great gift
3.) Potentially expand the fan base.
It doesn't have to be all at once, it doesn't have to be the full amount. As much as word of mouth works, why not give people no excuse not to see it.

Huh. I didn't see a thing from you at all, Christine!
The survey went pretty well, at least I know what needs to be changed to make it work better for me in the future, but, yeah, got some good initial data, hoping to add to it at Flan (or what ever we'll be doing out there), and do some interviews as well. I got the go ahead on a chapter about Browncoat fandom I'm writing for a Whedonverse fandom reader, so I want to talk to LOTS of people soon!

Hello Bad 2 Verse
Just caught this post
"Do you happen to know Paul Topete With PokerFace ( www.pokerface.com, or pokerface.org for their political site)?"
Lately we have just been really busy buying our own studio gear, learning how to make it all work well together. In theory everything works nice, but the reality is something different. We are also tracking 24 new tunes. The first 12 will be called PEACE OR WAR and should be out this summer 07. The next 12 will come out shortly there after as #6 TBA.
You can always reach us at

Ok so we find someone indescrete and get them to apply for a job a scifi or anyother channel that might air firefly - then they give us all the computer access codes and bingo were in.
but seriously
I was just wondering - have any of the stars from firefly and serenity made calls to scifi or other television channels regarding picking up firefly - i have been trying to find out but have had no luck. I know most if not all of the stars want firefly back. I would think that a television star's opinion would get more nocticed more than 10 000 anonymous dedicated fans. And the press love it when a celebrity begins to take action.
Of coarse i could just be crazyer than usual. I have been trying to find contanct information for the actors/actreses that were involved to ask but they try preety hard for their info to stay hid (i dont blame them). Anyway this is just my idea - it might not be very good but i'm trying.

Not a bad idea at all Ghoulfish! All ideas are welcome and appreciated.
I just wish it were possible. *sigh*
When Firefly ended Joss himself shopped the show all over Hollywood to all the tv networks including Sci-Fi I'd wager and he didn't have any luck. Not sure if they didn't listen to Joss, that they'd listen to Nathan or Summer better...
'Bout the most the stars of the show can do is work and become more well known.
What we can do is make more Browncoats... recruit and convert in any way that you can. Check out all the threads here on the guerilla marketing forum and join in some of the ideas. Join a local Browncoat group and help sponsor a charity screening on June 23rd. That'll draw public interest in what BC's are doing. Plus it's doing good at the same time.
Join the 76th and March at DragonCon.. the more BC's that march the more attention we'll get. More attention we get and the more there are of us, the more Universal will think there's an audience to sell more FF/S to.
Buy FF/S swag. Shirts, and action figures and books and DVD's....the more they see sell, the more they will see a continuing market in us.
Might just make a movie to sell to us too. 
It's all about numbers. The number of us and the number of dollars they can see in us. That's our ticket to more.
Go to www.drivefans.com for more info!
Ask me how to join the Appreciatin' Nathan crew!
When we're down, don't frown. Come join the camp-out at serenitymovie.org. Someone think of a name and we'll start a crew over there!

I wish i could come march at DragonCons and other conventions but up in Canada they dont have quite as many (as in almost none)conventions where we can show our support for firefly. I guess all my efforts will be done in front of the computer screen.
Cant stop the signal
