SIGMANUNKI, I never intended that I wasn't going to be involved. I'm sorry you got the impression of me flip-flopping. What I meant was I was putting the idea out there so that someone would say "I like this idea" and help me flesh it out and assemble a team to work on it (myself being a member but not the leader.) I want to be Tim Minear, but not Joss Whedon :P
Also, you said "depending on where you live." I was just responding to that.
I'll talk to the guy who does Into the Black. Maybe he'll be interested.
I said ST:PII does a pretty good job at depicting the original cast. and *I* think they do, considering that they are amateurs and not professional actors. If we're gonna go by what the critics say, TOS was crap too :P

I think an important question we're all overlooking is this: Verafan, is your primary objective with this project to do something fun for yourself and for anyone who wants to join you, or is your primary objective a production for the fanbase?
In simpler speak, are you more concerned about your audience/having one, or more interested in the fun factor?
There's nothing wrong with either! I want to say that right out front.
If this is for an audience, the others may be right in that the fandom likely won't accept anyone other than the original actors... Unless you decided to go cartoon style. Which some people won't like or accept for their own reasons, either.
If this is primarily for yourself and the actors and the other writers, then why not tell the story you want, with the characters you want? To say "I'm not going to produce this fan film because my actors just aren't THE actors and my show is not THE show" is like saying "I'm not going to write this fanfic because my characterizations are not THE actors and my writing is not THE show."
If it's for you and your team, you all together write a story you all like, you all want to produce it, and people want to play Zoe, River, Simon, Kaylee, Mal, Jayne, and Inara, then don't WORRY about your actors, because you're just trying to have fun with it!
Any time you post something on the internet, you're running into the chance that some people won't like it. So long as you acknowledge you're not official, and that you're not trying to be, you're just trying to do your own thing, that's THEIR problem, not yours. That's not something YOU have to work around unless you want to.
You might not even post it on the internet after all, and then who's to say what you can and can't do?
Although... Whatever you do, I wouldn't try to charge money for it, you know. *wince* LEEEEGAL issues. *said in spooky voice*

Belated thanks for encouragement. I stopped pursuing this because I don't know anyone who's into fan films (which is why I came on here, I hoped to find some people) and checking this forum because it was too stressful. I saw someone else had come up with the same idea and had better luck with it. I would never charge money for copyrighted stuff. I know all about fan films and the legal stuff. That's another reason this hasn't gone anywhere, I'm broke, lol. I might try to do it sometime in the future, but I might not.

Been a year plus, but thanks for the shout out!
I wish we could do Season Three, but we just don't have enough writers. Our gang has always been pretty cool, but we had an increasingly-cool writing staff as we progressed through Season Two. Unfortunately, when the season ended, momentum stalled and the gang scattered like a bunch of cons at the end of the first season of PRISON BREAK. :)
A few folk still hang around the writers' room, and we talked through Season Three in a fair amount of detail. We actually had it pretty much broken down episode-by-episode. It's just a matter, at this point, of having the time and staff to do it.
Someday...

I might be interested. Tried to go to your website to see some of the old episodes, but couldn't get it to work.

Hm. I was able to get on just fine yesterday and this morning... but had a heck of a time logging in to fff.net. Were you typing in the link or clicking here? If the latter, it might be that the problem was here...
Anyway, give it a try today. If you still can't get in, let me know.

I did both, and it still doesn't look like it's working. It may just be I'm impatient, does it normally take a long while to come up?

I just went in. It took maybe less than 2 seconds to pull up. Not sure what the problem is.
Can somebody else try to go to the site?
