Folks,

For those unfamilar with the site, www.stillflying.net is the home of a virtual continuation of Firefly. Between late 2005 and 2008, we wrote almost 30 episode-length scripts (7 to finish Season One, followed by a full 22-episode Season Two).

Although there are certainly original stories, much of our storytelling was informed by Whedon's continuity beyond the series. For example, our first season finale is largely adapted from "Those Left Behind" (a comic mini-series that helps bridge the gap between the series and the movie), and our second season was created around the question of "What if the Big Damn Movie has been Season Two instead?" Indeed, our tagline was "Here's how it might have been."

It's with mixed feelings that I state today that I will be letting the domain and Web site expire in early January. It's been almost 4 years since we posted a new episode, and the forums have been dormant since February. Although we had ideas for future seasons -- had, in fact, gotten as far as an episode-by-episode breakdown for most of Season Three -- the creative team has gone their separate ways, moving on to different projects.

Still, I've very proud of what we accomplished, and if anyone is interested, I encourage them to check out the site and download the pdfs of the episodes while they're still there. If you're so inclined, there's 29 adventures -- over 1500 pages of Firefly reading pleasure -- awaiting you.

Thanks for your time, and keep flying!

Dang. I never participated in any forums there, but I did enjoy the site very much.

One of the few Firefly related links I had saved.

*sigh*

Sorry to hear you are letting the site go Gwek, but if there has been no activity for years it is for the best I suppose. I didn't participate in the forums there, but I did actively follow, and thoroughly enjoyed, the episodes you folks put together. Excellent writing and the fact your team preserved the same feel as the show made it all that much more special.

Thanks for all you and your group did to keep her in the air.

Thanks for the kind words, folks. Glad many of you enjoyed our little labor of love. It was a great deal of fun to write, and I learned a ton while doing it.

If the waybackmachine doesn't preserve the site, I'll always have pdfs of the episodes for those who might want them.

Scripts from the recently deceased fansite http://stillflying.net/ are at the Internet Archive www.archive.org/web/web.php . The Archive is popularly know as the Wayback Machine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayback_machine because it can time travel back to historically significant websites.

Damn, I missed this entire thread, and this sad event. They also had the best library of screen-caps. If I wanted any shot from any episode or the BDM, they were where I want.
