Thanks, Riona :D It's kind of a bridge between my telling of original stories in my german blog, which is titled"The Bard's Heir" (Des Barden Enkel) and my Firefly Fics, so I decided to include Mal's Homeworld. The basic Idea I got from a guy on youtube, BardofCornwall, who has a magnificent voice. He sings a lot of celtic songs, plus one or the other original song plus a variety of other stuff.
As for the TV.... 
I don't own one and neither do I own a projector, I would have to borrow one or see if there is a place that rents them.

FOX has no say in the matter; their rights expired when they cancelled the series. the Fox mentioned by Haken is 20th Century Fox, the studio that paid Joss to make the series

Fox, and other's, shortsightedness in this arena is legendary plus, it would only make sense. The Browncoat grassroots movement is what drove the DVD sales through the roof.
There's money to be made, if only we could use the Hubble telescope to find intelligent life on planet Fox. Not only would they make money on the license fees, but a boatload of cash from the newbies to the Verse.
I guess math is not their strongsuit (Man, it's so easy picking on Fox).

How can Fox hit someone with a 'cease and desist' order when Firefly is a Universal production?

Because you are incorrect. Serenity was a Universal production. Firefly was Fox.

"...should fear being stripped naked of the dress and skinned alive of the tattoo by Universal Pictures lawyers..."
While I have no problem with the stripping, given the pulchritude of the aforesaidmentioned young lady, I think skinning is extreme and unkind; The can just as well spray paint over the skin illustation for the duration of the'con.

"I knew that trying to arrange a Serenity Screening for wounded soldiers at the military hospital here would be a complicated affair, but after reading this thread, the plans just died a very painful death....."
You could run a CSTS event & raise some money for Equality Now and show Serenity legally! You'd have to get permission from the hospital of course and I'm not sure how you would charge for it but it is worth considering perhaps.

At the hospital I am not allowed to charge admission or sell tshirts or other certain merchandise.
I might be allowed to put up a donation jar,so it can't be a "regular" csts event.
my next step will be to get in touch with military personnel or dependants that can help me get a foot in the door and give pointers on how to stay with certain military regulations
even I as as civilian/local national have to stick to. I'm guessing I will have to get in touch with universal,as a "pure" csts event might be out of the question, and ask what their stance on troup support is.
so....I guess my plan got a little bigger than first realized.... :P All I'd wanted is do something nice for the wounded.... *sigh*
Ps:of course,the first stepwas get registered at the csts site, for helpful hints and pointers,toget at least a slight idea of what I set myself up to.
