Well, that was a very short retirement We had 1518 votes yesterday and since many decided they wanted to try for the goal of 500,000, I'm baaaack!

I understand one of the fan posters over at the FF site flamed Xena and followers. Seems the only fans Xena has are connected to an underground Lesbian faction. The show really sucked and it was stupid, lame, absurd with bad acting, bad history, bad everything. He said it had to be on Lesbian web sites all over the world...not just Xena fandom. And to quote "I don't recall Xena generating any huge numbers in ratings when it was on TV, but over time the Gay coalition really held this show close to their bosom, especially that young stick-wielding blonde sidekick...if so, we are hopelessly outnumbered" . I think he is pretty funny, actually.

Hopefully that is only one opinion over there...not a nice thing to say about our show and our girls, the acting part that is.

Firefly is at 211,964 with 1681 votes turned in yesterday. We are still 56,746 votes ahead of them. I understand their goal is to become number one since we showed them up in the 2000 daily vote game, and they feel our votes are now going to drop since we no longer have a goal

So, all said and done, we will survive! A few people have given stats on how long it will take us to reach 500,000 and it is about 4 or 5 months. So, if you have nothing better to do...pop in a vote or two...or more.

Battle On for Xena, Lucy and Renee!!!

Mac, your friendly neighborhood VTL...again :o

They never seem to read the posts that congratulate them or show admiration for their accomplishment. Oh well. This is gonna be fun!! Time for some serious mobilization. We need to contact every Browncoat group in the world and get them on board and voting.Who can you contact?

You know I am a fan of both shows, vote for both shows, but someone(a mole) is sending an e-mail of a friend to you and then you post it it here? That was a letter posted on a e-mail list, a XENITE e-mail list so whom ever is the jerk that did that is really taking this sh!t too serious, but with that persons slam on Xena,calling us a lesbian underground was really frakked up. Lesibans did make the show popular and we are the FANDOM. They did notice, and I did tell them of all the crongrats to you all, and that just because a couple of Firefly fans are rude doesn't mean the rest of us are. You lost this person vote. I understand you wanting to get Firefly it's own hall of fame, and I am all for a little smack down, but someone is going too far. It's funny, you all are voting for Bonanza, now I will and with posting that letter I bet Xenites will too.

This board (FFF.net) does have some Xena FANS. But anything good we say about Xena fans is ignored. Anything bad IS NOT the general opinion of all of us, but only a select few. That's too bad. It seems as if the head voter twists what we say to suit her needs.

from Xena fan Maylith posted here on FFF.net a while back:
I think we all harbor some secret love of a tv show....I may not understand the love for Bonanza some have, but I respect it. I also respect the love Firefly fans have for their show. It's because of you guys that Serenity was made, and it was a great addition to the Firefly experience.

So, while I am glad Xena got to the TV-Vote Hall of Fame, I hope to see Firefly join us there soon and Bonanza after that....

Maylith is a fair and level-headed Xena fan, and I applaud her position and her words. I applaud her devotion to her voting efforts.

If the only thing that makes the Xenites vote is a post from someone that doesn't like Xena, well there are a lot. Some people will think that Xena sucks. Some people will be middle-of-the-road, some will love it. Not surprising that someone on this board doesn't like Xena, after all this isn't a Xena board.

My previous post about Bonanza was copied in full to the Bonanza board. I stand by those words, and my position about Bonanza, even if some BZ fans sling a little mud. I'm a Browncoat, I can take it.

I really doubt that this post will be copied to the email list that the Xenites see. After all, I'm saying something nice about a Xena fan. I'm sure that the words "Xena sucks" above will be twisted into a "every Firefly fan just said that Xena sucks" just to get Xenites angry. That's too bad. It's a disservice to the Xenites.

Meanwhile next time I catch a Xena rerun, I'll be stuck thinking about this behavior. Is Xena that thin skinned? I didn't think so.

You are wrong, I have told the Xenites about all the good things you all say, but I did not tell them of the one Fireflys fans view of Xena, but someone who is passing the bad stuff off looks like they are turning around and passing stuff right back. I was trying to get a whole Xena/FF alliance together, but both sides don't want too, and that is fine. The voting is pointless, I'm not visiting Rich's site anymore to vote for anyone. The problem I have is the posting of letters meant for a Xena list, not a public message board, but a e-mail list for Xena fans, and it did not belong anywhere else but on that list.

Well, it's a bit of oil and water problem; there's Xena fans who want it at the top of the charts, period. Understandable, but I doubt you will crack that; it is after all a Xena fandom.

Your loyalties got split on this matter; being a fan of both; it's hard to straddle two groups like this each with a clear desire to promote something, in this case a show. You seem to feel hurt; and I'm sorry that came to happen.

No bursting, I'm good!

This used to happen all the time in the military. I did intel analysis, and I'd make some prediction or other, only to get scoffed at. Only trouble was, when I was right, I could gloat. Cursed military bearing...

come to think of it...that show REALLY SUCKED!!! It was stupid & lame & absurd...WHAT WAS THERE TO LIKE ABOUT IT? BAD ACTING, BAD HISTORY, BAD EVERYTHING?..YES, it MUST be on Lesbian web sites all over the world...not just Xena fandom.

If this is the case, maybe we should recommend that Xenites watch War Stories. All those scenes with Innara and the Counciler. That would get them voting for us...or at least they might be in their bunks.

I feel compelled to apologize if my statment was considered flaming another fandom. I was trying to make light of a more serious comment that I did not agree with. I suppose the joke would be lost on anyone who has not seen War Stories, so my apologies to the Xena lurkers on this thread.

My whole reason for voting is to get others to take notice of our show, increase the fandom, heck maybe watch some of the other shows (yes, I've been watching Bonanza

). I hope other fandoms are checking out Firefly even if they never vote for it.

Best of luck to everyone voting--may our show--I mean the best show win.

I just couldn't help myself.

First of all,one the purposes of that posting was to point out that: contrary to popular belief, Xena fans aren't going to let up on the voting. Not exactly a state secret. The other purpose was to point out what a shame it is to have all of us judged by one negative post.That was it. Harmless.If you read the subsiquent posts to that one you'll see that the point was reinforced. No flaming, just a commentary on how things are.

As always, the only one making a big deal out of something like this is you, and I'm sick of all your ranting and raving everytime someone says something that you view as a slight to your favorite show. This is a Firefly board!

This competition also got me interested in Firefly, which I had never heard of. Is there a place to take a look at some clips from the show?

Looking forward to more friendly competition ;)
