Wonderful idea, we can re-light the Qmx wavecard campaign at the same time if gloves are inaccessible. www.quantummechanix.com has a shiny set of wavecards you can buy for, like, 20 bucks or so. They're officially licensed, so the money would go to Universal Studios.

This brings up my next point...I think we should be sending these to Universal, not Fox. I realize that Joss has a new show coming up on Fox, so relations must be going well between them, but he only went to Fox because Eliza Dushku has a binding contract with them... I also think that the cast would be much more likely to do a film rather than a series again. It would allow them to get back on Serenity for a while, and still keep their schedules open for other projects - Summer on Sarah Connor, Jewel on Battlestar, Nathan, Alan, and Morena all have pilots coming up - I just think that some of them may be too busy to commit to an entire series. Universal saved us once, why don't we go to them again?

I want our show back as much as anyone, a film would be great too, hell, I would even settle for some lackluster comic books - so what do you guys think? Am I out voted on the Universal subject, or is this something we should discuss?

I've been away from the site for a few days, and Oh, my dear and fluffy lord! You guys have been busy, busy, busy! Site looks great, and I'll be heading over to register straight away.

As for some of the debated issues, including those in the post I actually quoted, I wholeheartedly support waiting until November. My big worry from the start has been in moving too fast and humping it up. I definitely think individual items should be sent as opposed to bulk. The vast quantity of individual mailins is what shows are numbers, and also I don't think many medical places would take gloves that have been zipping through the mail to TV studio headquarters anyway, unopened or not. Finally, as for the Universal/Fox question, I do think we need to have discussion on the new website and decide. Until now I'd been assuming FOX, just because of the Dollhouse and the fact that they have the TV rights, but I didn't realize how full the cast's schedules were. Looks like there are some factors we need to have a meeting of the minds about. Again, if that means delays, I'm not against that (within reason), as long as we all make sure to speak clearly, loudly, and with a single voice once the decision is made.

Let's keep flying! I'm getter powerful excited about all this.

You make some valid points about the actors schedules. I'm of the mind to contact both Universal and Fox, with specific campaigns for both. I think the actors, networks, movie studios and Joss's schedules will be worked out if enough demand is there for - a movie, series or mini-series. I may be biting off more than I can chew but I'm hopeful the latest numbers in the TV Poll and the Blu-Ray sales will have an impact.
I'm thinking that a mini-series would be the best bet because of what you rightly described about people's schedules. Also I did not know that little tidbit about Eliza Dushku's contract. That explains a lot.

I say bring this up for discussion at the www.savefirefly.org site and see what develops.
