Okay, as the originator of the "sway" comment, an explanation (as I tend to put typing fast ahead of any sort of thinking--not always as good substitute as you'd think).
When I said "sway", I meant "power beyond anything any human has dreamed or desired"--wait, slash that. What I meant is that these guys help run two of the biggest websites known to the Firefly/Serenity fandom, and reaching out to them can only be helpful. I certainly did not mean to imply that either is more important then any other fan. Everyone knows that I'm the most important fan, sillies.

But we still have to get the leader of the Serenity Day behind this idea fully... she is still posting that she will do June 23rd, she sort of co-opted the Serenity Summer Campaign and said she liked it, but she also said a lot of stuff about an army and attacking and defending and such and I don't know how that figures into this plan.
I hope she sees this and sees that it will be good for us all...by all, I mean literally us all.

I certainly hope so. I didn't much care to hear that our votes are counting for nothing. Unless you're the Shrub, you don't get to veto the rest of us. This is suppose to be a 'one person one vote' deal, and the mice in your pockets don't count.
I'm gonna go look at the other threads as this is the first I've seen today having just got home. Then I'm goin' back to the party...not so much to celebrate, but to escape the arguing. I don't mind debates, they're interesting, entertaining and educational. What I don't care much for is the belittling of folks. That's what got me riled.
Oh, and for the record...I like the compromise of the SSC. The ideas and reasons for it that I've seen presented sounded like a good plan to me, so I'm changin' my earlier vote to that.

okay ya know what?
I've decided that there's going to be a september 30th event. if need be, i'll organize the entire thing but I believe that it will be more bennifical to have it on that day.
I believe a lot of people are going with june 23rd becuase it's sooner and they're excited. It's like telling the kids we're going to chuck e' cheese on the way home and then open your wallet and tell them to wait untill payday :)
I can completely sympathize.
But now i believe september would work much better.
i'll open a new thread now.

Diz
I am the most important because.... well...I am!
All props to the other sites. I don't go to them. This is my home. And such a shiny home!
One summer.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.
And a bunch of Rings that make Shiny people do silly things!
Starting June 23rd, we aim to misbehave!
Nathan doesn't know it yet, but I am his one true love! Is that weird?
(he will believe, he will believe)

Well, certainly there's no harm in gettin' the bigger sites on board, especially if something is based around the fan support (the percentage of fans who monitor different forums is quite small).
And the most important person of the fandom is, of course, Joe Sweden. After you, Dizzy, obviously!

And of course, when I said "help to run two of the biggest Firefly/Serenity websites" did you not see the invisible comment right after that? The one where I said, "beside this one,"?
Hee, I never say what I mean. :)

This is just a first pass at a "teaser" poster for Serenity Day. The tag line can be changed of course. The poster text can also be updated as September 30th draws closer... then more specific info can be added regarding the DVD buying campaign... but teaser posters/flyers are a good way to start building interest.
Again, only offered as a suggestion...
Yes, I made time to revise one of my guerilla marketing posters, but just so folks know... it's not because I have nothing else to do with my time! I just care a lot, maybe too much, about promoting Firefly and Serenity... so I other things in my life that need doin' get delayed...

If I can look at Nathan's face AND support Serenity Day, then it's A-OK with me :)
