LADYKNIGHT

Don't exactly know where I went...but I was gone. My fic ideas sputtered and died...sadly, so, my only finished firefly fic is, and will remain, the one shot titled "I hate you" BUT... I'm planning on doing a bunch of Jayne peices set between the eposodes. Maybe even toss one in for post-movie. Point is...I'll finish at least five of them before I post them...you see... Day after I turned 18, I moved in with my mom...who dosen't have internet. So while I'll make a more concious effort to log on, I may actully be on less then ever. But! I'll do my best to get some sort of work up. Might even make another pic series. Speaking of pic series...if you have the tech and know-how for music-vidio making...but lack insperation...can we colaberate some? 'cause...I've got a LOT of ideas that I have nether the tech or the know-how to make. Oh...and I should start putting these in log entrys regularly. New Recruits update: Lenaya, my mom's roommates son's girlfriend: Seen Out of Gas and first half of Ariel. Interested, but busy. Justin and Ryan: Seen first bit of BDM. (Up to Mal and Shephard talking on Haven) Ryan fell asleep because he was up all night, Justin almost because of ditto. Going to start bringing eposodes to school and watching them on portable DVD player at lunch. Lorrann: Hasn't seen any yet, but I talk so much she wants to. Clay: Hasn't seen any. Loaning BDM tommrow. ...I've been busy.

I hadn't been able to get much information from my mother about things and living 4 1/2 hours away doesn't help. I call early this morning and spoke with my step-father about the doctor appointment they had on Friday and all. Things do not look good at all. They're doing another CT scan just of her liver on Wednesday. If they can do anything about the cancer there (three cancers there, one almost the size of a tennis ball) then they'll do surgery, etc. If they can't do anything about the cancer in the liver, they'll just make her comfortable for what time she has left. My brother and I will be headed up there (5 1/2 -6 hr trip) on Wednesday to be with them for that. Thanks for all your kind encouragement, support and prayers. I really appreciate it. Ya'll are the best.

Well, here it is. I'm not much of a blogger or writer, but Firefly is something special to me, and so I am inspired to write my story. HOW I BECAME A BROWNCOAT One day a few years ago I was using one of those file sharing programs where you can download stuff illegally. It was a passing phase, and I don't do that anymore. But at the time, I was searching for something I vaguely remember from TV that I never got to see. All I could remember was it's name, "Firefly", and it was sci-fi, and I missed my chance to see it. So after a brief search, I found a few episodes. A few hours later, I was in love with a cancelled show I never got to see when it aired (thank you, FOX, you idiots). A search on Amazon.com and a few weeks later I had the DVDs in hand, and was completely under the spell of Firefly. It was magic. Art. Genius. Love. I was completely perplexed. How could this show be cancelled? I joined fireflyfans.net, and the movement for more Firefly. A year later I was overjoyed when I heard about the movie, Serenity. I was shocked and awed when I saw it, literally vibrating afterwards. Then totally depressed when I learned it was not a phenominon like Star Wars. It should have been. It deserved to be. A few months later I came to terms with the fact that I liked Firefly better than Serenity. The movie was great, but it was not Firefly. It was not the day-to-day life of our beloved crew, it was instead a Big Damn Movie. I would rather have had another 14 episodes than a two-hour movie extravaganza. But I understood this was all Joss could do. At least I got to see more of the story. THE STATE OF THE 'VERSE Dammit, I want more Firefly. It deserves to be reborn. More than any other show, or any other concept I could think of, I believe this 'Verse needs to be explored more. Screw Star Wars and Star Trek. They've had their run, and I had a kind of love for them. But not like Firefly. Give me real characters, real emotion, and real... realness. I've bought more Firefly/Serenity merchandise than any other branding. DVDs, Visual companions, comics, cards, ornaments... almost everything. Just goes to show you that even though I could get the episodes via a pirate source, I was moved to buy the real stuff. FOX and Universal made money from me thanks to illegal file sharing. Not saying piracy is right... Just saying in this case, it sure didn't hurt FOX or Universal. So here I am, over a year since the movie, and things don't look great. Sure, we should get a comic book, and maybe a few novels... but Firefly should be on TV again. And I still think there is a chance it may be. But dammit, what's taking so long? Are there really more stupid people on this planet than smart ones? I'm sure anyone reading this can say "been there, felt that", but I just had to put it down here. Now on to some more thoughts I have had about Firefly... IS MAL AGNOSTIC? One of the things I find compelling about Malcolm Reynolds is his so called Agnosticism. He is not an Atheist. He may not even be an agnostic, since he says God is not welcome on his boat. So he may still beleive in God, but he just doesn't "believe" IN Him. He's turned his back on God, because he feels abandoned. I believe in God. I think atheists must be delusional (as I'm sure they think I am) because they cannot disprove God's existence, no more than I can prove it. But the problem I think is what the definition of God is. I don't believe He is a "He" or even something tangible or measureable. God cannot be male or female any more than a galaxy of stars can be. God is beyond my understanding. We humans only really know what four percent of the universe is. To believe there is no God is to assume you know all there is to know. I do not know everything, therefore I cannot truly know what God is. I can only believe that there is some power beyond my understanding. That is God to me. Mal has made the mistake of believing in a God that takes a particular interest in him. How self-centered is that? So when Mal loses the battle of Serenity Valley, he feel

SIRI

I'm thinking about ways to strenghten the signal - to push the power to increase the ability to get Firefly back on. I wonder if we have any mystics, psychics, shamans, witches, and other types of energy workers on this site. Maybe we could come together and create a spell, a cone of power if you will, and send it out into the universe to relight the fire. I know this is kind of freaky but I've seen it work when things are clearly defined and there's enough energy behind it. I'm writing about this after re-watching Serenity. I'm watching Done the Impossible now and wondering if there is anything that hasn't been tried yet.

I watched Serentity today. I think it is the millionth time I have watched it. I love that movie. It captivates me every time, even though I know exactly what is going to happen.:smile: Hell... I might watch it again in the next couple of days.

Coming very soon! I must admit, this has been probably the most fun out of all of the sections written so far! Its set during the initial stages of the unification was on Sihang (in Du-Khang) and maybe its just the survivalist in me, but trying to figure out exactly a group of peoples can survive in a city racked by violence, collapsing government control, refugee populations, increasing civil unrest, disease and death is - for me - really interesting! Its set (like pt 2) in Du-Khang, which for observant browncoats is the city/warzone featured in 'The Message' where Zoe, Mal and Tracey are fighting, in 2510. I've had problems imagining what this city may look like. I found a pic on the net of a massive hall/library, which is what i based hte University around in Pt 2, but the city itself i wanted to be athetic, futuristic (obviously) yet also classic and grand, much like Venice or (probably the city i based it upon the most in my mind) Waterfall city from Dinotopia. Love that book. I figure, if you really like the city beforehand then you'll feel even worse when it gets blown up (which im thinking it will). Thats what annoyed me about Star Wars actually, is that in Ep 4 they blow up Alderaan saying "Please, we have no weapons!" and apparently its this terrible atrocity but, really, you just don't care because its a blue smudge that was invented soley for the purpose of being wiped from existance. I thought the prequels would sort of create a world of Alderaan, where you really liked the planet and came to appreciate how nice it was, but you barely saw it thoughout the entire series of prequels! Grrr! Newhos, what was i talking about again?

KELAI

I'm really mad, because my 'Unwritten' FF vid won' save. It wont save on my mums computer or when it does it locks up,soI transferred ALL the directories over to my new compy. It still wont save 'cause it needs the gorram original directories. Arrghh. WMM will go to hell, fuck those gorram computes.

HEWHOKICKSALOT

Hey, all. I'm very sorry it's taking so long to post more of my attempt at a screenplay. Getting the new abode settled has been an adventure. I promise to post soon. I've hardly had time to even look at the site, let alone post and re-format. Miss you guys and girls. Rob O.

SMARTBUTDUMBBLONDE

I really do. Its part time in a small café, the people are great, the tasks are fun, even the washing up, I get tips, and its a million time better than my old one. Only problem is, I leave smelling like I fell in the chip pan. oh well...

Well finally got the internet working. Im hooked to civilization again!!! This place royally sucks!!!! I am definitely counting down the days till we leave. 17 more months!! I think the only great thing so far is that i ran into another Browncoat! He saw my Serenity shirt I was wearing and yelled "Oh wow, a Browncoat!" I was very happy to see him. We chatted as if we were old friends. It gave me a little more hope that this place will get better. New Mexico is sure not the Land of Enchantment I was looking for. I cant wait to get back to a real city. *sigh* Firefly gods...please get me through this, and thanks again for bringing me the verse. Amen.

TERRI

[b]This contains spoilers!!! If you have not seen the Big Damn Movie, then what the heck are you doing surfing the web? Go and watch it doggone it! And futhermore, don't read this!!![/b] This is how I usually title my blog, stuff that has actually nothing to do with the post therein, so be prepared for disappointment! Well, I was like thinking, you know, about stuff. Firefly stuff. And anyway, I was thinking of when Wash died. Now, Serenity was the first exposure I had with the 'Verse. And Book's death was the first experience I had with Joss getting down and dirty and killing somebody that I cared about. So, imagine my surprise when not ten minutes later, he goes and does it again. These are people that I haven't even known for two hours. However they had wormed thier way into my heart. Suffice it to say, for the next few days I was hella depressed. I mean, seriously and utterly down. That got me thinking: Okay, firstly Joss is an amazing storyteller. And on top of that, the actors (Alan et. al.) are awesome. But futhurmore, the fact that I was severly negatively impacted by Book and Wash's death shows how open we are to outside emotional influences on our psyches. I never met Wash, or anybody on board of Serenity, however, I was totally torn up about it. So, here I am, completely distant from the goings on on Serenity, yet just as touched by the tragedy. So, yeah, I think that it speaks about Joss ability to draw us into the story, and make us feel as much a part of the crew as Zoe or Jayne. And let us feel the sorrow as deep as if we were there.
