On February 25, not long after the this campaign sort of went viral, Nathan Fillion Tweeted this:
It's beautiful to dream of more Firefly, but PLEASE DON'T SEND ANY MONEY. Just keep being great Browncoats, which you are!
He's not saying stop the Campaign, just don't send him any money. Awfully decent of him.
On Feb 17, 2011 - as posted here on FFF.net - in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Nathan Fillion said: "If I got $300 million from the California Lottery, the first thing I would do is buy the rights to Firefly, make it on my own, and distribute it on the Internet."
"Well, let's get the Captain his money!"

No, I'm not the one initiating this little campaign, just supporting the industrious mighty few who are.
Geeks of Doom are also perpetuating the momentum:

Apparently there are some Browncoats on the California Lottery.

Browncoats over on Facebook are pretty giddy.

According to blastr on Syfy.com, not so much just Nathan pulling an amount out of the air.

Browncoats are Tweeting Jose Molina and Jane Espenson about it right now.
Can't decide what you love, and you can't stop the signal.

Woa, that has to be the weirdest thing I've ever seen online, one day after he said it in an interview there's a webpage about it. Wow. ... I'm ... astonished.

Or he could rob a bank, train, mobster or govt. Go Nathan!

Paging Storymark. Did anyone take that interview too seriously now?
This is a horrible campaign. I don't think Nathan would want to be involved with this in any way. Too many expectations and potential problems. You want to do this all in good fun then make it a "mail Nathan lottery tickets" game. Even that might not go over so well with him.

So... note to self. We did the impossible. It made us mighty. But apparently that's all we get.

*sigh* the more I've heard WE really didn't do much of anything. Joss and Mary Parent did the improbable. Sure our support probably didn't hurt, but it doesn't seem like it did a whole lot. When it really mattered we failed. We failed when Firefly was on the air and we failed when Serenity was in theaters. We done appear to be very mighty.
I don't want people to stop trying. I just think a little honesty is fair too.

To be fair...I'm sure if Nathan managed to somehow raise 300mil, he'd probably set up a charity with it or something.
Browncoats haven't even managed to raise that much for Equality Now, which, while it's not Firefly, is certainly a more worthy cause.
I do like the lottery tickets idea though :)

I like the lottery ticket idea too.
I'm feeling my fogeydom now. Because when I sat in the theater surrounded by browncoats, it certainly felt mighty.
I think I'll just have Haken troll me. Probably best... dang it, where's that < sarcasm > tag? I just had it, now what have I done with it?

This is for pirate radio guy. Your FANTASTICALLY SUPPORTIVE COMMENT neither discovered nor read by me until my third pass through due to the image and videos.
And no. I didn't watch the videos. Sorry. I believe LInks would have sufficed.

I'm told by a reputable browncoat in London that $50 million was raised for a statue of Robocop.
