Two months ago when I first started visiting Firefly fansites, I was ashamed by my secret addiction. I thought people who were fans and had time to post must not have a REAL LIFE. Now I'm still addicted but not ashamed. Firefly fans not only have real lives, they lead some pretty interesting lives. And they don’t just talk about doing things—They DO them. (In fact, as I learned from my years as a fundraiser—if you want something done, ask someone who is busy already because that person is an achiever!) Here is some of what we doers have accomplished just from a conversation started on this thread.
We decided on 2 projects to focus on. The first is a blog which we have named News of the ‘Verse. It should be out in the next few days. The purpose of this blog is to support ongoing efforts in the fandom to promote the series and the movie. The idea is this website will feature ONLY projects, events, and news about BDS and BDM. We encourage fans to bring information on Firefly related items and submit them to one place. Then fans who either don’t frequent any sites or only frequent one site can access them through our RSS feed easily. The more fans that submit happenings to our site, the more fans will frequent our site which will make it a better site to get information throughout the ‘verse.
The 2nd project that is still in the works is a newsletter/magazine that will serve to promote the ‘verse not only to established fans but, hopefully, to people who have yet to become fans. This ‘zine will not only be online but will be published in print to allow for distribution at conventions, at video stores, to friends, etc.
We have an amazing group of people working on these two projects but if you would like to join us we would love to have you. Feel free to either PM me or post here.

Agree.
Let us know how to get a hold of the blog & the magazine/ newsletter.
I stared showing more of my love for the 'verse and it surprised me who were Browncoats my area. I can tell you that I know A LOT of Browncoats who don't visit the boards. One being that they work longs days & on the computer a lot already.
Keep Flying'

SigmaNuki and Xardoz have been working hard to get the blog up. The rest of us have been just giving them feedback as they are the talented computer people.
We're hoping that all you fans will be able to access the blog in the next day or two. We want it out there in time to help boost the Can's Stop the Serenity Screenings. I'll throw up threads here and in as many other fan sites as I can find when we're done. I would appreciate it if people would pass the info on to any sites they go to also.
Mycroft and Anduine have been working with a group of us on the newszine. We're pretty excited about what we have planned.
We've been lucky and had some advisers that have kept us moving in the right direction. Thank you to FollowMal, TDBrown, and Penquin.
We welcome any of you busy folks out there if you're interested and we hope you all enjoy the finished products.
