First, I want to let everyone know that I am late comer. I had seen serenity and it rocked my world. Two or three years later... ( last week ) I pick up the complete series of Firefly. I am floored. One of the Most INCREABILE things I have seen in a long time. I guess the reason I bring this up … is that I am feeling severely guilty. That I … a lover of art and well made story telling , was not aware of this show before this. Maybe I could have added a nelson or two, or at the very least expressed my JOYS and Sorrows with other fans of this Great story. I want to apologize to Joss… I feel like I have let him down. I want to apologize to the Cast and Crew…I have not valued their monumental work. Second, I also want to let you know that I am going to dedicate myself to doing my part to help in any way I can to further this shows cause. I am a Fine art Photographer based in Western Maryland … rallies, protest… you name it. I am ready to do my part.
Finally, I want to ask for your forgiveness. I hope that I can do something to show that I am not a fair-weather fan. I have ordered the role playing game and looking for people to play with…. I LOVE THIS SHOW AND THEIR CHARACTERS… all ten of them.

Welcome,
We'd love your input over at the thread "Organise the revolution-for serious FF fans only"
Come on over.

BTW, I do quite a bit of fund raising. And I do writing. You do photography. There are bound to be lots of talented people here (hey, great show, great fans--right?) Maybe we can all get something going.
To paraphrase Kaylee: Whedon's Firefly is just so lush. I want to take a bite out of it all over, you know?

Yes! My sentiments exactly. Over at the SciFi forum there is a group gaining momentum with the same aim. They're looking at the possibility of trying to get SciFi network to pick up the show.

BTW. I'm on board as well with any credible effort. I'm a self employed printer.

Just trying to figure out a way to get all of us on the same page or 'thread' as that may be. Any thoughts?

Welcome Wolfskinbeta; reading how you came here was like re-living my own 'discovery' - 'guilt/anger' trip just last August. Cannot believe with the tripe that's on television how this amazing program was so thoughtlessly tossed away. Luckily there's this place. I am a writer, albiet for the 'puppet theater' as Mr. Universe called the news media. I am not a joiner, but have joined the 76th Independent Battalion. I am not a 'costumer' or ren-fair enthusiast but I will be marching in the Dragon*Con parade in Atlanta this August - in costume. I vote hourly for Firefly as the best tv show ever at richlabonte.net/tvvote. I don't thing any of this will do any good whatsoever; but it makes me feel better. It is amazing to me that a show, canceled five years ago, continues to inspire passion in all those who 'discover' it; and those numbers are growing every week. Good luck to you and count me in on anything or anyway I can help. Pledging yourself to eternal, indentured servitude to Joss?? Hmmmm....it could happen ;)

Also, the bbc poll http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6517155.stm
is a very important poll. There was a informative thread on how a poll in Britain caused Serenity to jump in Amazon.com's from something like 150 to 15 (very rough numbers here).

Serenity is currently less than 2% behind Star Wars and BBC is a very worldclass org. Doing well there might translate into sales.

I'm in! It may be futile but at least it's worth the gamble.

I started the thread 'Organise the revolution-for serious FF fans'. So far within the last 24 from this thread and the one here, I see people with these resources:

1. Writer
2. Fundraiser
3. Printer
4. Colour Sergant of a Browncoat org
5. Computer, blog specialist
6. Fine art photographer

Plus I've been contributing to the SciFi network forum where you have a handful of other people willing to pool resources and talents.

Sounds like a great start to me! Who wants to set up an official chat meeting?

I agree it may not do any good (then again it just may), but at least we'll met some other brilliant fans!
