That's not a bad idea. The trick, of course, is getting the email to the right people. Though I'm not sure how you'd find out the sales records for FireFly and Serenity.
Angelic made a good point. This project should have its own website if we're going to be more organized about this. I know of a good free website provider ( http://atspace.com ), and I am also a graphic designer. I could easily set up a site for us, as well as forums.
Any thoughts?

Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster
I have to agree that new website might be the best course of action, nothing fancy, just a location specifically devoted to this movement, where all the info and ideas are located. Right now this whole plan is spread out over a bunch of threads on a bunch of sites, so not very many people are even going to see it. If we make a site that has all the info (where to get gloves, where to send them etc) in one spot then it makes things much easier. It could also be a place for a centralized discussion, instead of starting a thread on every fan site, we could just tell people to check out the forums on our site. Once the site is set up we could pitch the idea to a few different media outlets where non-forum goers would see it (I’m thinking io9, ign and possible G4) as well as the facebook grope. I think that a lot of people will be willing to contribute, but don’t have the time to try and track down all the important info.
I also think we should give the option for people to just contribute money to the cause, it may be difficult for some people stay involved in this plan for long periods of time, it may also be difficult for some people to order/mail the gloves (if they live overseas for example). If, on this hypothetical new site, we give people the option to donate 10 bucks or something we could potentially get a lot more support then if we require everyone to mail their own pair of gloves.

Hey guys, you can count me in for anything that's good for the Firefly. Just let me know what you need me to do!

Well I say we go with the website then, if anybody is willing to set one up where we can kick this plan off from then that would be great. What does everybody else think?

Another thought off the top of my head (again just brain storming), does any of the cast have an offical website, maybe if we contacted them through their site they may want to get involved in some way. A bit of high profile publicity cant hurt if we can get a firefly cast member helping the cause.

I know of these ones

I they're all fan sites though, I don't think the actors have any input.
I think Nathan and Jewel are pretty avid myspace users, that could be a good place to start as well.

O.K., here are some thoughts.
I'm not to up on the current state of television, since I don't have cable or satellite and can't seem to get a decent antenna signal where I live, but Joss has a new series coming out on FOX, no? Apparently some healing has taken place there. Also, FOX owns Firefly itself. I'm not sure when the debut is supposed to be, but supposing we continue to organize, planning, waiting, lurking... And after the Dollhouse has been on for six months and is as wildly popular and successful as we all know it will be, we STRIKE!!!!!!
I'm just saying, it might be good timing, if Joss can provide a real cash cow for FOX, then it might make them more receptive to the idea of re-launching our BDH.
Of course, there is always the Joss element to consider. I mean, some of the cast are working, but none of them very heavily, so them I'm not so much worried about wanting to come back. (Just from interviews and other whatnot, I'd say Ron Glass might have been willing to leave it behind him, but no problems there. He...achem. Still so sad. Too soon... too soon...) Anyway, what I'm more worried about is Joss. I haven't heard much out of him since...oh, since the BDM CE release, at least, maybe longer. Do we have anything recent from Joss that says HE'S willing to do it again? That is key.
I don't have much in the way of skills or money, but I am ready, willing, and able to be one of the grassroots, as long as Joss would support our actions. A quote from him on this new website we are talking about would be wicked awesome. I think the website is a great idea, and I'll be there religiously as soon as it's created.
I missed out on the show until after the BDM was already out, so I didn't get to take part the last time all the Browncoats did the impossible. I'm eager to prove my loyalty!
Still holding...

If there was a way to get in touch with joss then i would be the first to ask him, again if anyone knows if joss has a dedicated site then please post a link. A message from joss would be a hell of a boost in trying to get this going. Firefly is his baby and i think the story is still in its childhood, with our voices maybe we can help it grow.
