But, if its true that Firelfy cant be re-done for ten years...now Im new at this so stick with me here...isnt this set like 500 years in the furture? So if we baggered Sci Fi enough, then a 'Verse' could be used in a mini-series. Firefly wasnt the only thing out there was it? This has huge possibilities and just think of our kids that get to watch the one that started it all...ten years from now!

Not to tac on anything here from above...but wasnt there something about a war that MEL was involved in? How'd he get involved? Where's he come from? how did it start? who started it? What planets were involved? Where they rag tag little bands of resistance or all out organized units?

There are endless possibilities with this great idea that was started and if your anything like me, your wanting more.

Heck ya I'd mail Sci-Fi..I'll send em a 100 letters with one dollar bills if that'll help. I want to know more!

Hey, I think this is a great idea. However, I think not only should a $1.00 bill be placed in the envelopes w/ the letters, but also a Firefly currency bill as well. You can download them from www.propcircle.com or from www.serenitystuff.com/free stuff. That way everytime they look at the $1.00 bill, they will also remember the Firefly/Serenity bill,too.
Just thought I would mention this. Tell what ya think. Cause now that Sci-Fi is cancelling 1 of their main sci-fi shows and possibly another the following yr. All they have mainly is BSG, Eureka, Doctor Who & repeats of Hero. This might be the perfect opportunity for them to scout out mini-series for shows such as Farscape again too. I have even considered to contact J. Whedon directly and ask him if he would consider a mini-series based off of the RPG Shadowrun. He could even use some og the cast from FF and disguise them in costumed characters, that way no one would see the faces for conflict of interest, but fans would recognize the voices. He could include actors from some of his older series as well. Oh well we'll see.....

I just registered about 10 minutes ago and this is my first post. I would be more than willing to help underwrite anything that might be able to be put into production.

If people’d be willing to mail multiple letters with bills in them, that’d be great.

DJStormx, also, if you’re collecting money, would you be willing to donate some to the cause?

NauticalGal’s right—Hollywood deals are brittle things to begin with, and have a funny tendancy to snap when money changes hands.

As for the Firefly currency bill, Browncoatcuttr, I clicked the links that you posted but I couldn’t find the downloadable bill. I think it’s an okay idea, especially if we can post a bill on this page, but I’d make it an optional thing for now. If we’re going to get a lot of Browncoats to mail a letter, I don’t think we can demand terrible much of them, ‘specially around the holiday season.

I’d be happy to post a letter that can be printed off the net, although I’d like to get a few more people lined up behind this first—it’d be lame if the SciFi chaps came to work on the first day of the new year and found fourteen letters with dollar bills in them.
