Yes i have read the comics(both sets of them, better days and those left behind), but not the novel. If i go to book a million, i see no firefly/serenity novels, but they have a whole wall of star wars, star trek, and other scifi. I feel that if Joss would let people play in his "sandbox" then i will get way more exposure and will grow faster. I dont want it to be cheapened, but good writing can be done with joss's approval.

I will look into the novel you spoke of and give it a read. people read books, and other people ask what book that you are reading is? that helps spread the word and grow our crew.

thanks

Tholo,

I know what you mean about all the books. Hmmm, I wonder how Keith R.A. DeCandido (wrote the Serenity novelization of the movie) would feel about doing a novelization of a comic book. Maybe Joss would approve that.

That my friend is the million dollar question! I would love it if he wrote a novel. But I don't see it happening.

Thanks

Fan films rarely have expressly pre-written permission. It usually ends up being a "asking forgiveness is easier than begging permission".

I myself do a bit of animation, modelling, and composite work...

Joss himself said "Cancelled TV Shows should not go on to become major motion pictures" I believe. We fought, and fought, and fought. And Universal saw the potential and took on the idea to make a motion picture of firefly, and look at what a difference it made. Sure, ticket sales may or may not have been as good as predicted (I can't remember to tell you the truth), and if they're not likely to be particularly high, then there's always the possibility of a direct to dvd movie.

To put it in the words of our biggest damn hero (aside from Joss or course):

"We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty." There is no point in giving up. How many times did Familyy Guy get cancelled? and that's still going strong. Fox have to some extent realised their mistake in cancelling it, as in one of their handout thingys of fox dvd's, it says "Like this? You might like firefly, the highly acclaimed sci-fi drama from the creator of Buffy the Vampire slayer" or something to that extent.

There is no way that God can let firefly die, because it is so, very, pretty.

I am a die hard Browncoat, and I'm damned well proud of it!

Anybody who disagrees with any of this violently can do so. But no matter what you do, "You can't take the sky from me".

Family Guy was only brought back because a cable station (Cartoon Network) took it and continued the series for another couple years - rebuilding it into a smash hit.

That's what Firefly needs, so some cable channel (maybe one that deals specifically with Science Fiction shows *cough... Cough*) should think twice about continuing it - like they picked up Stargate SG-1 from Showtime. Battlestar is nearing it's end - and Caprica seems to be a few years off; Farscape is gone, infact most sci-fi original series are either cancelled or simply finished - and there should be enough money to finance Firefly.

If not, I again, suggest the making of fanfilms. If Browncoats are supposed to be the hardest-core fangroup out there - then should it not be we that continues more into the `verse? It would increase popularity and attention more than a website that has dwindled down into just reporting about Joss and co in their new endevours.

Sittin around and waiting for a crumb to fall from the table is getting under my skin. Let's aim to misbehave.

We tried, we really did.

We did, we really did. The original Browncoats who were here at the cancellation of the show did everything they could... heck they built this "place"! We who followed did what we could... what we could find that hadn't already been done or tried.

It is indeed true that the actors, Joss and the rest of the crew (literally ) have moved on to other ventures. But they still love the 'Verse.
Everything they say speaks that loudly.
They haven't forgotten just like we haven't forgotten. They just can't do anything more about it than we can.

So what can we do now? We can keep each other good company. Share this wonderful show and movie with people we know and encourage them to do the same. We can take part in tne CSTS screenings and do what charitable work we can do. We can watch our BDH's in everything they're in and encourage them. We can watch genre stuff, so important to us all, and encourage that too! Sounds like we have plenty to keep us busy and plenty to be grateful for and plenty to look forward to in my book.

I don't mind waiting that long. I can travel other places, look at other things, enjoy other stories and folks and then return to my BC home.
I'm patient and have a long memory.

That's exactly right! I would love books as well and wish like the dickens that Joss would allow this! I think it would maintain this fandom for the time it will take to possibly get more. To tell you the truth, I could make do with books... I can hear Mal, Wash, Kaylee and everyone else in my head just fine.

Firefly/Serenity...it is about Love...it is about Hope.

We hold 'til Mal gets back.

Wiser words were never spoke... I mean typed.
I have run into new fans who were intrigued by Nathan on Desperate Housewives and by Summer on TSCC. Those folks will spread the word to other folks. More people know about FF/S than used to.

There's very little chance that there will be another movie or tv show. But there is some chance that Joss might do something with it on the web, like Dr. Horrible. There's also a chance he could do a mini series, animated series or a direct to DVD movie.

I'm never leaving here, because I'm happy with my friends and doing charity work. It's a plus to me that there is still even a tiny chance that there could be something someday.

I waited for STNG and was not dissapointed, I'll wait this one out too. FF and the BDM had something to say beyond telling a compelling story. They also had excellent writing and competent acting, much like STOS. I'll wait. And I'll buy a another FF for the library too. The older versions are hitting the remainder bin and I picked a couple up for donation ;-)

Just chiming in to add my two cents as to why no one should yet despair:

1. We are living in an unprecedented era as far as TV revivals are concerned. Before the time of the DVD, they just didn't happen. Ever. But now, they are happening. Family Guy was first. Then Futurama got four DVD movies when no one thought that would ever happen. FF fans scored a victory with the release of Serenity. All of these were cult shows with a dedicated following. You've gotta stay passionate and believe it can happen. Because you just never know. Someone may be hired at a major network tomorrow who's a big fan, and whose pet project is to get the show back on.

2. You are always gaining new fans. I know this from personal experience. Because I'm a new fan. I just finished the last episode on the DVDs an hour ago. I was lent the DVDs this past weekend. Now I'm going to go buy my own copy and rent Serenity. And I plan to spread the love.

So don't give up just yet.
