Im from England so im not to up on American magazines and things but what about taking out an advert in a magazine in the states. or maybe even make a news letter of our own and send that to fox/universal, we could outline how we feel regarding firefly and its demise. Run that along side the blue gloves idea. Just brain storming and chucking ideas out.

Made a post on the uk browncoats site regarding this so see what happens with them now.

ok a few more things. First off, i checked around facebook, and there are a bunch of different firefly groups, but the main one seems to be a group called "bring firefly back." It has over 5000 members. We should most definitely pitch the blue glove idea on there... if we could get even a third of those people to help, that'd be a great start. Second, and this is an idea for later (if and when we actually get this ball rolling) a bunch of people (especially according to a poll on this site) have said that they'd contribute 1, 10, or even 100 dollars to get the show started again... if everyone who read this thread put in 10 dollars, thats almost 2000 dollars... if half the people in the firefly facebook group put in 10 dollars, thats 25000 dollars... you see where i'm headed? We could do some real damage with that kinda money, so this is an idea for phase 2 of the plan, if the blue glove thing doesn't work. That's all i got for now.

I've seen SOOO many of these ideas before, and I've always wanted to be a part of them - but I've found that for them to work in any way, they have to have a centralized power - a person or group of people, pulling the strings, spending the time, and organizing until their brains explode...and even then they usually still don't get off the ground. I am always willing to pitch in my time and my effort, but I'd need to see some real power, enthusiasm, and ORGANIZATION behind it before I'd throw my chips in. The last great effort was on the UniHD forums, and before that it was the Qmx wavecards campaign. I pitched in with those, but even with all the people behind them, there still wasn't enough organization to get enough people to make a difference. I know we've got the numbers, but I have friends who love this show as much as me who don't even go on the forums - so that's the kicker right there. We need to get EVERYONE - not just the forum surfers, or the facebook people, but EVERYONE. e-mails, letters, postcards, hell, I like the carrier pigeon idea. So as soon as someone takes the reigns and spreads the word to thems need it told, count me in - until then, I'll be waiting.

yeah, that's exactly what i was trying to say with my first post... so basically, we need some people to step up and be ready to put countless hours in for this to work. I'll definitely chip in, but unfortunately, i've got too much goin on to volunteer for somethin like that

I would be willing to help. This sounds like a great idea. I think the hardest part would be getting the word out. I would be willing to make a couple of graphics people could use (signatures, etc) with the cause and date on them to spread the word. Maybe we could make a website? I would be willing to, but someone else could make something better than I could. Let's do this!

Staples is right. For the last few hours I was websurfing and googling Save Jericho. I came upon their fansite and they seem to be very well organized and focused (at least when they first saved their show).
I got the idea about the gloves from their campaign to save their show. As part of an overall attack on the network (CBS) the had their fans send peanuts to the execs at CBS in both LA and NY. They also conducted a letter writing and e-mail campaign. They also sent post cards and made phone calls. All in the effort to save the show.
As I researched and read I realized more and more that it takes a great deal of discipline and unflagging passion to mount such an effort.
I'm in.

Will there be 'Companions' ?
Since you mentioned the notion of 'discipline' , and the requirement for 'unflagging passion' , plus the 'mounting' involved in this effort ; might be a good idea to provide some refreshments , and a buffet for questioning , too...

I think we should start off with an e-mail first off, maybe including the poll stats from this link http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=2&t=34497 , also if we can find out how the dvd sales have gone of both the series and the movie and include this in the e-mail. Maybe if we collect as much data like this, post it in this thread and send e-mails using this data and expressing our opinions on Firefly then this would be a good starting point. Later on thats when the Gloves idea can come into play. What do you think?
