I'm in the middle of a script that may or may not fly. I'd like some feedback when I'm done. I know! The BLUE SUN ROOM! When I'm done, I will post it there and let everyone know via this thread. I will be open to suggestions.

I think Sarahetc hit on the right idea. Unless we are willing (which I doubt) to have a different browncoat in a different area of the country perform each different voice of the cast, then send those pieces to one person, so they could be put together, we will have to use another method. We wil need a narrator. Someone to tie it all together. Someone to do most of the voices, perhaps getting people near them to come in and do a few voices. It seems only natural that the author also be the narrator - to retain the trueness of the script.
Of course, there is no reason that multiple projects can't go on. Let's see which format we like best. Maybe we can get a whole, great-big, Firefly-radio-drama library. Shiny.

I sent a message to one of the fan-fic authors, we'll see what happens.

Great-big Firefly-radio-drama library, hehe!
I think in all fairness to people who live far apart from each other and since so many people want to be involved, that one person does one character, but obviously it doesn't have to go that way. Look at the Simpsons, but you know, since so many people...
I'm a writer. I write constantly. Firefly is my favorite TV show in the whole wide world. It only seems natural that I would jump on this opportunity to help write a script...except I'm a bit afraid to. I'm afraid it will flop. I've tried a FF fanfic once...it was dumb, but then again, it was a picture book, so whatever. I guess I don't feel I am worthy enough to tamper with such a masterpiece and can't get my brain to take free range of the territory. The boarders of the plot and characters nag at me. Anyway, I will think about it and see if I can come to grips with reality.

That's the very attitude that gave me writer's block! That's the source of my procrastination! But I figured, if not me, who? Just do your best and see how it goes. You may surprise yourself. Your work may be picked for the script. Besides, if mine sucks as bad as I fear, Dug is going to need a plan B.

Thanks.
Ok, I was telling my dad about this thing and before I could even finish my sentence he goes "OOO!" You see, he's always wanted to be one of those "radio voice" people because he can make all different sort of voices. So I asked him if he wanted to tryout or whatever and he said he would try if I showed him the characters. So I put in "War Stories" and he was listening to the voices, studying them real hard. He said Book has a very laid back voice and that Simon is "windy". He said that no one really has a very distinctive voice and that he would prefer to do a non-main character b/c they are more interesting. As it turns out he can do a pretty good Niska. I put in Shindig and had him listen to Badger's British w/ hint of american southern-ish accent and all and he said Badger has the most distinctive and interesting voice and that he would like to do him. So if anyone can write a Badger part, that'd be shiny. He said leave the main characters to the true die hard fans (aka you guys, not him). So yeah, that's it.

Is there a reason why we can't do 'Dead or Alive?'

I think someone suggested we just do a 10-15 minute thing to get started and get our feet wet. We could do "Dead or Alive," but I'll keep writing my script, just in case it's needed.

Erm, I just wrote a story (yeah, that was fast). I put it in the Blue Sun Room.
http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=264
It's called Behind the Wall and it should be about 12 minutes long. It wrote it in radio-screen-play format so it's in play format but it doesn't describe visuals or anything, but nothing is lost without them, you see? If you want to use it you can. If you don't like it, that's okay too. It was a spur of the moment thing.
