There are many posts that ask if Firefly will come back on the air, but this one assumes that it will come back, and that all it will require it some effort from Browncoats like us.
I would like everyone to post their suggestions for what they would do to bring Firefly back on the air on this thread. I don't care how pointless or "stupid". When it comes to a cause as noble as ours, the only stupidity is inaction.
I would like to thank everyone who posts in advance, and remind them that as long as there is life, there is hope.

Well, there are a few limbs that I just haven't been using. Maybe somethin off the left side. Arm? Leg? eh doesn't matter. They can have my firstborn when I get one...ANYTHING...::shrinks back:: anything...

I do pay monthly for MMO's so why not for firefly?

Actually, that's not a bad idea, (the monthly fees, not the self-mutliation) maybe, a fan base could reconstruct the set, and kidnap Joss and the actors and put Firefly online. A monthly fee could pay for production costs, if there was a large enough viewer base, and there would be pre-made episodes if anyone decided to put it back on the air. But that would only really work if almost every Browncoat joined.

This is not how the industry works.

I agree that sending money to Joss is not how the industry works.

However, there is an example that we may be able to learn from. After Doctor Who was cancelled by the BBC the fans didn't let it die. The history of fan projects such as fanfic, fan films and audio dramas eventually led to the BBC licensing a book line written *by* the uberfans and some of the original script writers (the Virgin New Adventures). The beeb eventually took the license back and published their own book line which added up to I think hundreds of books. They also licensed Big Finish Audio to create audio dramas with the original actors.

Eventually the Doctor returned to the BBC. I know there is a LOT more to the story of how the Doctor survived and was regenerated; these are just some high points to the saga. What I'm saying is support the 'Verse in any way you can; keep it alive on your own if you have to.

Jayne: "What we need is a di-version. I say, Zoe gets nekkid."

Wash: "No."

Jayne: "I could get nekkid!"

Wash: "NO!"

I'd just about do that myself, except I get the feeling it wouldn't help much. I would, however be willing to pay a couple hundred to see another season or the other two sequels made. I'd also support any promotion effort made that had a good chance of success.

i'm not say three of us send money, but people keep saying well maybe if there is a brown coat out there willing to finance the series then we can get it back. Well if we come together we would be the rich fan. Lets say there is 200,000 which is not really that many fans and we all send in 100 dollars that's 20,000,000 which would be enought for another 13 episodes. And the shows can be posted on the net
