Yes, don't spend your money on more copies of Firefly and Serenity. Don't take it the wrong way, I'm a HUGE fan of the movie and the series and I want Firefly to fly again on the air too.

But buying multiple copies won't help much! How many of us can actually afford to keep buying more copies until sales hit the mark?

I estimated there are roughly 10,000 (or even more) dedicated Browncoats worldwide. We got an army here! If each of us able to convert just one person into a Browncoat a week. Then there are 10,000 more browncoats a week. Those 10,000 would proceed to convert more. Then the number of fans will increase exponentially to a remarkable number. Majority of people never even heard of Firefly or Serenity. I think the movie and the show really have mass appeal which makes converting process not very difficult.

And please stop writing letter to studio executives begging for the show. They only see green when it comes to decision. DVD sales is our only saving grace, not the begging fan letter or online petition.

Again, can u imagine an organized army of 10,000 Browncoats can accomplish!!! Please start convert now, just 1 a week.

That is exactly my aim with buying multiple copies, Zidank. I give them as gifts, donations, etc. to people or organizations, to encourage new audiences to take a look. I had been loaning out my personal copy, but I don't like going without.

I have had great luck winning new Browncoats in this way.

I agree, I'm broke! I'm not a big girl by any means, but I love my food, and I cut back on groceries so I could by 2 more sets (Movie and Series). I'm converting my sister this weekend, and my best work pal next week. Although, I kinda want to keep the extra copies for myself in case something happens to mine, but that would just be selfish!

I converted my husband, friend and two neighbors

but I can't see how letter writing is bad
(or DVD buying)

The networks will see "potential green" and
so can the sponsors - numbers wether in fan mail, or DVD sales - numbers are what they look at.

I only purchased extra copies so I could loan them to people, introducing it to them and trying to convince them to buy their own. On occassion it's even worked!

I don't think there's anyone who's just buying copies to buy copies, but I could be wrong.

You mean my plan to buy 1,000,000 copies and store them in an abandoned warehouse down by the docks is foolish?

I've managed to convert five people this week and I plan to buy another copy of Serenity to give to my family today. I'm also in the beginning stages of planning to have a Firefly/Serenity booth set up at my college(I go to LSU) so I can give out freebies.

Dvd sales are great, and i'm all lfor buying them as legit gifts and such, but we have gotten some publicity... the industry does know that we are sorta inflating the #'s... so again i have to say: we need huge ratings for the mar 10th sci-fi channel marathon.... cuz that's something we can't artificially inflate, start getting freinds to set their vcrs and tivos for it... the 1 new convert a week plan is brilliant though.. btw if we spend all our $$$$ on the dvds we won't have the cash to make the serenity tpb a bestseller, just something to think about.

i'm a leaf on the wind.
