Maybe there are other discussions about this i`m not quite sure. Let me know.
I want to see more of Firefly and thats for sure. I watched the last episode yesterday and what can i say? It`s the best series i`ve ever watched. For that reason i still want more of Firefly. And if we do list of signatures and show them how much we want it back i think we have a big possibility to affect. If we have thousands of names they can`t just ignore us.
DO you have any ideas, please write them here!

Together we can make this possible.

Petitions could easily be the most ignored things on the web. That, and spam.

But, glad to see that you're one of us, and welcome to the site! There're ideas floating around in the Guerrilla Marketing area if you want to check those out.

Yeah you got a point there but i think it`s worth a try anyway. Even if i need to send them two letters per day, handwritten or something i`ll do it.
Thank you YINYANG. I will check it out.

Hi MARTINT.
Once you volunteer for the Browncoats, you're signing up to spread the word, but be polite and respectful of others while doing so - not everyone will see it the way you do IMO, handwritten requests have a better chance, ensure its neat and the spelling/grammer is correct.

Are you involved in the various voting threads ? If not, we could use a hand at TV_Vote in our efforts to catch Xena, see http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=28052 there's even niffty software to remind you of them all (Flyvote).

YINYANG, I partly agree, usually petitions, on-line polls and the like have no effect, but sometimes they achieve things and they can be a bit of fun as well.

Exhibit 1, SFX poll just before Easter. The buzz that created when Serenity ousted Star Wars from #1 spot resulted in increased sales of both Serenity (202 to 92) & F/F (99 to 26) on Amazon, in the UK the BDM went to #15. In the longer run (& we are in for the longer run), this increases the fan base which in turn makes it a little more likely the networks and studios will give us another season or BDM. Until that happens, keep spreading the word.

...Nathan says,

"Please, don't ask if there's going to be more Firefly. Please! Cuz there ain't. Now you know."

EDIT: which isn't to say I don't support online votes and spreading your love of Firefly and/or Serenity, but the TV show is just not coming back. I recommend focusing your energy on working for attainable goals.

Don't make faces.

Hello MartinT:

This my patent statement on the future of Firefly.

The people here are all hopeful for more episodes of Firefly. The more members we have the better the chances of getting noticed.

Don't forget to vote.

Fox tossed Firefly to the ground and forgot about it. But you found it and picked it up. You recognised the value. It is the little gems that burn the brightess and Firefly burns oh so brightly.

Stole that quote from "Blade Runner".

Anyway. You now have gift that may be small, but it is precious. Enjoy and share.

Welcome to our new Browncoat;

Just want to clarify -
Joss himself has said that Firefly will never be back - the show Firefly, that is. It's moved on past that point, and even if Book and Wash hadn't died, it still wouldn't be possible to just... pick up where they left off in the show, with the EXACT same feel and EXACT same stuff, etc, etc. Joss is hoping for more movies. But as for the exact show, resurrecting? Nope. That's not to say that we'll never get a new show about the Firefly verse, maybe even with some of the original characters!

Just wanted to clear that up without providing false hope or destroying existing hope.

Welcome!

I could see Joss creating a sequel of Firefly. It may not be the same, but Joss would be there and that would mean a great show.

Firefly-Serenity

Hi, MartinT. Welcome to the site. Together we've been making this possible for awhile now. The veteran Browncoats who have been here the longest bought the FF DVD's, helped make an audience for the movie and then Mary Parent, Joss and Universal gave us the BDM. Right now things are quiet, but we're still hoping for a sequel.

First off, since you're here you need to have your browncoat... a sort of welcome to new folks we do around here...

*hands MartinT a browncoat that fits just right*

Online petitions, letter writing campaigns and email campaigns are just some of the methods we've used. They've not proved to be very effective, as really it comes down to the studio deciding to give us another movie. Since the first one didn't do very well, it's a long shot. But I'm a diligent kind of a gal, so I'm in for the long haul.

To be frank, as many folks have mentioned here, the possibility of Firefly itself returning is for all practical purposes not possible. Joss has said Firefly is over, Nathan said so himself on his myspace page recently, Ron Glass advised fans at a recent con to give Firefly ( he didn't say a sequel )up.

I think our future lies with Universal and another movie if they decide to do it. I'm not sure other than sharing the love of Firefly with folks we love and helping other folks to come to love it that there's much we can do or have an impact on. But there are some very positive things we can do...

Encourage the SciFi channel to show Firefly in marathons and such, as it brings new folks to the 'Verse.

Take part in the charity screenings either by attending or organizing one in June when the entire fandom does it.

Share Firefly/Serenity gently with all the folks you know that you think might like it.

March with the 76th Battalion at DragonCon in September.

Go to cons, shindigs, join your local Browncoat group and enjoy yourself. There is fanfic, beautiful art and much fun to be had as a Browncoat. Look around, you'll find all you need to get started on this site. If you have any questions, one of us will be happy to help.

The biggest thing that any of us can do is just what has been mentioned here - tell other people about the show. When movies make money, they get sequels. (So be sure to buy the two disc set of the movie when it comes out!)

And FYI- there is a comic book you should check out that's set between the series and the movie. Rumor has it there will be another one out later this year. And if you just can't get enough of the 'verse (like the rest of us) then you might want to check out the Serenity RPG books. There's a video game in the works, but it could be a while.
