Character bios are up, along with new pictures of the ship, pretty interesting.

Kitty seems to be an odd cross of Jayne and Kaylee.

I am very interested in seeing how this turns out.

Just remember, if you're looking for donations of anything, like costume bits and bobs, don't be afriad of posting here. You never know if some rich browncoat would be willing to toss a bit of cashy money your way. Or start up a wishlist or something.

Excellent to see you're a member here. The best boards in the 'verse!

Yeah, Kitty is basically me... but with guns. Lots and lots of guns. Odd how I'm a cross between Jayne and Kaylee....

But I'll take it I guess!

Really quite intrigued by this. Spent some time digging around the site, and it looks quite promising. Obviously trying to make something that's more than the average fan vid (and nothing against those at all, either...)

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Obviously I'll totally support it even if it turns out to be total goh-se but it looks like everyone involved is really putting some serious effort in. (And look how well that worked out with Firefly...:)

Anyways, just me saying good luck with the shiny.

Well, hopefully we won't be goh-se.

As our captain says, "let's dial down the suck people!".

Just remember the lighting.
It's all about the lighting. And the acting.
Lighting and acting. Yep.
Break a leg you guys!

I've never been a fan of that "expanded universe" stuff, either.
Reading and writing fanfic is a nice little way for people to amuse themselves, but if you really want to engage in a creative endeavor, try creating your own universe! Use Fanfiction (or fanmovies?) as a creative exercise, and then branch out. Who knows where the next Tolkien is hiding? But we'll never find out if they keep on doing nothing but creating new stories in someone else's world. We've all read fanfiction that is pure crap, but is a nice little way for beginning writers to start stretching their muscles. But we've also all read stuff that so good that we have to wonder, "Why isn't this person a published writer yet?" Oh, yeah, 'cuz all they're doing is fanfiction...

I am such a little grinch.

WhoMe, I don't feel that fanfiction is a bad idea at all. As a new writer myself, I find it much less intimidating writing in someone else's 'verse than my own. (Hey! Double meaning...LOL) The creative process has already begun for you: the characters are already fleshed out and a lot of the atmosphere is already done for you. As an inexperienced writer, that appeals to me very much. In this way I can concentrate on getting a feel of my own writing style by trying out others. Just like you do by writing a sonnet or haiku.

Do I have ideas of my own? Certainly. But this is a nice way to stretch my pens-manship muscles.

I find fanfiction the sincerest form of flattery for any genre. It means that you have affected someone in such a way that they can also see your vision. They respect it and love it so much as to spend hours, days, and weeks on writing something so precious to them. Is it copying? Of course it is.

And it's always a fanfic writer's dream to be picked up as a full time writer or to at least be noticed by the people who've created the world they are borrowing... Sure would be nice, wouldn't it?

These people who are doing Into the Black found recognition by the one who's work they admire. I, for one, am impressed beyond belief and wish them well. Not only that, but I bug them constantly asking when they'll be done so I can get my Firefly fix. Would I be excited if they took some of my writing and decided to use it? HELL YES!

Even if it's a fan film, even if it never gets seen by anyone but me. (Which is rediculous.)

Good luck guys. Your fellow Browncoats are rooting for you!
