I totally did the dance of joy seeing Firefly on my tv today. IT WAS SO SHINY! I was more excited than I care to admit. Despite the fact that we can watch Firefly anytime we want my Dad, sister, and I gathered around the tv today and enjoyed.

DANCE OF JOY! DANCE OF JOY!

I watched and was in heaven and then I sent my email to SciFi and told them thanks. And that I want more! And new eps!

Tomorrow I'll sit down and write out a letter in long hand and tell them the same thing and mail it Monday.

I'm gonna continue to be a presence on the SciFi/Firefly BBoard over there and then we turn our sights to the next shiny plan.

Oh, and don't forget to check out our vid thread....

We need vids to spread the word all thru myspace and beyond.
We'll be starting that when the contest is over at the end of August. We only have the one entrant.

C'mon everybody, if you don't have the equipment, post an idea and ask someone who does to help.

It can be a collaborative effort, Browncoats are good at working together.

Excellent idea. I have more to elaborate on the subject as well. Please read the whole thing, it will only take a minute or two. To everyone who reads this take my advice under serious cosideration. In my opinion the only way to get Firefly back on the air is to appeal to the right network. As we have seen, this is most definitely the sci-fi channel. I'm gorram serious when I say this, and we all know they are serious because of this marathon.
Next comes the issue of making it worth their while, after all they do broadcast shows based on public approval and ratings. I think the only appropriate thing to do is to let them know how much we love this show. Tp let them know the lengths we will go to to get this show back on the air. To show that we have to write emails, and preferably letters because they show our conviction more than typing up a couple of words and sending them via the internet. Letters take time, especially if they're written well, and the folks at TV stations pay more attention to them. Here's the address for the guy to write to at sci-fi channel: Barry Schulman Sci-fi Channel 1230 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10020.
I urge everyone who reads this not only to follow my advice but to spread word of the show to those who have not experienced it. Lend DVDs, have screenings, anything to spread awareness of the show and our cause. Also, spread word of this post and the actions I suggest to any and all forums possible so we may gather the full support of all browncoats everywhere, and to make our movement all the more important. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I'm thinkin' we'll rise again

First off, Imthinkinwellriseagain, you're new, so you need an official virtual browncoat.

*hands Imthinkinwellriseagain a browncoat from the storeroom*

Welcome home. We'll be nearby.

Second of all.. hear hear!

We emailed yesterday ( I hope we all did! * looks stern*)

And this weekend we are all writing snail mail to mail Monday morning. Or earlier!

Please write in long hand, folks, be polite, kind, and use please and thank yous. They always work so well.

We've got lots of shiny plans for the summer, ITWRA, check out the threads and the Browncoat Events forum and get involved. We'd love to have you help us hold the line til Mal gets back.

Hi Y'all! I live in Australia and to my knowlege we don't have a SciFi channel here - heck we've only had Pay TV for about 9 years now!! But I will write to the US home base and tell them that I have heard HEAPS about the marathon through my Firefly friends and ask them if they have affiliations in Australia and beg them to consider another series!

Definitely in brown paper!!

Definitely with lots of stamps too!!!

Love you all! - (oh, yeah & this should bump it up too!)- Magdalena! x x x

Not at all FM - I think it will put in their minds that the internet is a powerful tool for spreading the word - things are never 'local' anymore! I did find some nice brown paper today ... just have to get off the internet long enough to write it now!

Love you all! - Magdalena x x

Just a suggestion- if you can't find brown paper (or the only brown paper you can find is the heavy construction paper kind) you can always put a Browncoat/Firefly/Serenity watermark on regular printer paper in Word and print it out for stationary. That's what I plan to do and I'll send out the letter as soon as I can!

Huzzah for Browncoat activism!!!

Mine is an evil sugar high laugh! Bwahahahaha!
