There's lots of shiny stuff out there, I have tees, licence place covers, mousepads, all the posters (my office wall is really all Firefly wallpapered and a Serenity Chinese symbol on my door) all the comics, an RPG and just bought same
Serenity Chinese symbol clock. Getting a vanity plate for my car as well as a vinyl graphic for the top of my car, as well.
The important thing is the dvds, if they keep selling well, the likelier Universal might be interested in doing another movie. I keep buying them and using them as presents. The bottom line is money and the more fans there are, the better chance!

I've bought 2 or 3 sets of Firefly DVDs, 2 or 3 copies of Serenity CE DVDs, plus a bluray copy of each, all companions, most books and graphic books, Done The Impossible, the soundtrack CDs, Map of the Verse, and likely more I cannot recall. And loaned out my DVDs to create more borwncoats (successfully).
What more can we do?
here is an idea already proposed in the CSTS thread. Let's quit hiding our enthusiasm, let it out there.
An idea suggested is to obtain posters/flyers for the CSTS 2009, and post them in your car windows, and perhaps they will have a sunshade for your windshield with a shiny Serenity image filling it!! Either way, fill in the local screen times and dates of your nearest CSTS, and if not already included, your favortie websites like fff.net.
If these are in windows for a few months before the CSTS screening, and are sitting in parking lots of malls and cinemas where folk might see them, this might spread the word more than hanging things in our cubicles or bedrooms.
Just a thought.

I forgot about the companion books, have those too, and went to Serenity Revisited con, 10/07 and have a fifteen foor banner through the action for Equality now--have no idea what to do it, I don't have fifteen foot ceiling.

Suspend from ceiling by 4 corners - you can view it when kicking back in recliner or laying on bed. If still too long, can roll up ends on a tube to fit.

Great idea, especially since it's signed by most of the cast and has sat on my recliner , Fireflysince 11/07. Maybe I should put it on the ceiling of my bedroom! I am still hoping I can manage to get back to Burbank when Gina, Ron and Adam are there those are the missing. I've got Nathan and Jewel as friends on myspace, which is fun. Anyway I am hoping that if Doll house is a success, that someone will let him make the movie! I'm dying here, Firefly was the best show ever on tv. Fox is demented.

I'm new.
I have a question, and then I'm going to go into a long post, in which I will probably talk your ears off to the point that you want to stop reading. Hopefully you can't/won't, but for the person who reads to the end and has some pull: please contact me as soon as possible via PM through this community. Thanks.
What exactly is CSTS?
I came here, because I am a Firefly Fan. I was not fortunate enough to have been watching Firefly while it was a network TV show. I've discussed things before, with different people, regarding why Fox would have canceled such an eye-catching, witty-yet-endearing show with all the right moves and shakes for building a huge, dedicated fan base. It was a poor business decision, and I want to know what other basis they might have used to judge it. Not that it's important, really, but I'd like to know what Fox is really all about. I still can't figure it out.
Firefly is freaking viral, really. The show's been off for how long? And yet still I see the show's stars appearing in different places even today, referenced mostly by their association with Firefly rather than their new work. I love the show, because it grew on me. At first it was cheesy. Then the way in which it took itself seriously started coming forward in my mind. The outstanding CGI, scattered bits of just the right humor, and the way the show "felt" turned the cheesiness to what endeared me to it the most: the way it made me feel like an adventurer.
I remember fantasizing about travelling through space in my own spaceship, in the form of my house. I'd look outside and see stars. I'd see other ships, aliens, truck stops (lol). Anyway, I "live" sci-fi/fantasy in my mind, and I enjoy it quite a bit. Suspension of disbelief is about a trained, dedicated imagination, and I'm that kind of person. I've written one feature-length screenplay to date, and while it's unrelated to Firefly it's still sci-fi and complete. So I've jumped that hurdle and kept my feet.
Why am I telling you all this, as if you're interested? I don't know enough people here, and I want to talk to the "right" people. I think I know how Firefly could continue/restart. I actually have several strategies, and more details come to me all the time. Dedicating myself to a single project is hard, but carrying out a project to its required conclusion, given a team with whom to work, is easy.
Some people here come to discuss their fanhood and what they loved about the show. I want to provide more material to help with that. Others come to see what the general buzz in the community is. I'd like to talk to the second variety. It's nothing personal, really, but I'm trying to get somewhere with this and "make" something.
Thanks in advance.

There is exactly one way that this will happen. First you have to prove to the execs that a new FF/S movie/tv series/whatever will produce at least a guaranteed 10% profit. Otherwise the risk is just too great. Once that is done, then you have to convince them to actually do it.
I say this because countless times people come in with plans that are equivalent to, "If we show them just how good the show is and how much we love it, they'll be sure to do another movie/tv series/whatever." That just isn't the case. The bottom line is money, not how good something is and whatnot. The movie/tv industry is a business. If you don't address it like it is a business, then anything you do will be doomed to fail.
If you're looking for a project, then here's one:
http://s4.invisionfree.com/GunRunner/index.php?act=idx
It's a game mod of the EV Nova engine. Don't worry if you aren't a techie, there's tonnes of stuff that is non-programming/etc related. I don't know what they need done right now. So, if you're interested, drop them a line.
And here's another:
http://www.stillflying.net/
Don't know there current status. But, there's forums seem to be getting posts from time to time.
It's projects like these that are the life blood of a fan community. They prove that the community is still around and active while at the same time serving the community. Because, if the execs aren't going to green light any new content for us in whatever form it might take, we have to do it ourselves. That, btw, also shows that there is an unfulfilled need that they aren't cashing in on, which is a very good thing.

This is a really good one that everyone should be made aware of. I can't believe how often I found Browncoats that haven't been to one of these events or even heard of them.

I'd like to say I'm a huge fan of Virtual Firefly. I adore their scripts and hell if Firefly was to ever get back on its feet then well, theres a legion of would-be script writters right there!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before...
But I felt it needed saying again if it did...wuh duh ma that sounded really awful when I red it back...

So out of curiosity, is any of this still going on? I skimmed a lot, but I read some really great ideas, any of which I would be honored to play a part in.
