I'm just new and I haven't had all the disappointments that you all have but I have worked on some decent sized fund raising campaigns. And I know that acting hostile to anyone who wants to make a change, effectively means change ain't happening. If we want to see Firefly return we can't just shoot down anybody who offers ideas on how to get it back.
You've raised some good objections and they needed to be voiced but lets take a chance and mull around some possible options.
For instance, boycotting the advertisers seems like a problem. What about a Buyday! It might work something like this. We pick an advertiser/company that was supportive of Firefly/Serenity and we set up a date say Aug 21 (which I think is the release day of the Special Ed.) and buy as many Universal products as we can afford. To be effective this would have to be a major campaign. YouTube trailers. Media release encouraging people to buy on that day, etc. We would need a lot of people willing to put their creative juices to work.
I don't necessarily think my idea is THE answer but its an idea. Do you have one?
I think you are on the right track. Any campaign we do must be positive and supportive. I have been here from the beginning and many of the newbies wouldn't be here if we did not keep spreading the word. Spreading the word. Buying Serenity Merchandise. Buying more DVDs both Firefly and Serenity is key.
I think Joss would not work with the Fox Network but the movie studio would be something else. I agree more of the series is best but I'll take anything with our cast working.
Buy Serenity and Buy Firefly.

Much appreciated!
I've been going through the posts and there's quite a few brilliant take aways and discussions from many of the posters.

I think SigmaNumki has a great idea that I would like to second.

Each project could then blog current activities. Sure there are sites that have a section that lists groups, but not what they're doing. It actually takes (significant) effort to find out what's going on, who's doing what, etc (again, as Redhead pointed out). *A lot* of people will give up.
The nice part about a site like this is that it'd be relatively easy to setup and would be quite low maintenance. Especially if blogging responsibilities were given to the projects (?). This would leave the maintainers time to participate in any given project as well.
When I first came on, I would have loved to have a site with what was going on in all the 'verse. And it would have been nice to have something like that thread that was revived around a week ago that talked about what order to do things in if you were a browncoat.
I bumped that thread THE ORDER OF THINGS. I found it helpful. If we do a centralized blog, We need something like this to help new fans. Check it out.
To paraphrase Kaylee: Whedon's Firefly is just so lush. I want to take a bite out of it all over, you know?

You should really consider changing the title, gotta say, it's insulting. I know you don't mean it to be, I've read all the posts, but just consider how part of it comes across.

Well, if nothing else, there sure seems to be alot of enthusiasm in this thread. :)
I like the sound of the blog that was mentioned.
If I can be of assistance, let me know.

RiverRunsDeep went out and made a blog.
Now the thing is that we've been discussing making a web-site basically since this thing started. Several people have put out ideas refining what this site would do, etc. In fact, I /refined/ the idea Tues ( http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=20&t=28587#491711) to be... similar to what was put in the first post on that blog Wes:
""" http://operationres.blogspot.com/2007/05/5907-post-1.html
Okay I am RiverRunsDeep from www.fireflyfans.net (I have no affiliation; just use there site) and I made this blog so that people can brainstorm ideas and once finals dates, movements are set, browncoats can all come here to see them. This blog is not for information regarding the cast members or DVD releases (I'll be putting sites with news like that under the links section), just for coordinating "guerrilla marketing" as it is put.
Hopefully this will help the word get spread quicker. I know some people are working on putting together a webring, but for now, this.
"""
This of course might be a coincidence. But, I'm not convinced of that one little bit. Especially since RiverRunsDeep posted in this very thread AFTER our posts.
So, to explicitly state it, I believe that our idea was somewhat "liberated". Please note that I said our idea. Because, I acknowledge that the centralized site/blog idea was not mine, but produced by brainstorming among the many people here.
Lifting others idea(s) or taking others idea(s) to its logical conclusion and claiming it solely as your own is just plain wrong.
This is NOT teamwork. This is NOT being a Browncoat.
Quite frankly, I somewhat irritated about this development.
