Hey, cool!
So if your real name is Ken Li, what's this Haken thing?

My name isn't Ken, it's Peter. 
There goes my anonymity. I'm sure a letter from the FOX legal department will eventually show up in my mailbox.
Haken is from "HA DO KEN". Remember the video game Street Fighter by CAPCOM? I just dropped the "DO".
HA = Wave
KEN = Fist
Yeah, I grew up playing that stuff and in fact continues to play them to this day to the dismay of my family, though it's now Virtua Fighter 4, etc..
So what's the story behind Zicsoft?

Haken - Congrats, dude! This just proves what we already knew... Fireflyfans.net is the best fansite out there! Keep up the great work.

"At this point, even if I don't like the show, I'm obligated to continue for the fans' sake," Li said. "They're my friends and family now. It's the least I can do."
Awwww... Well don't I feel loved!

You have me confused with somebody who has physical coordination.
Quote:So your favorite Firefly character is Jayne? And what does the "do" mean?

Quote:No real story. I once had to make up an ICQ nym in a hurry and that sprang out of my subconscious. Sort of stuck. Though now that I think of it, Zicsoft is sort of a play on my real name...
So what's the story behind Zicsoft?

This really is the best Firefly site out there. The official one is really going to have to knock my socks off to lure me away from here. Three cheers for Haken and his formidable dedication!

At the risk of making Ken/Peter/Haken blush, I have to say that this was inevitable. They were bound to do a fan sites article, and this one is the most visually interesting and well-designed. And that's not just my opinion:

Let me add my congratulations as well. You have put in a lot of work and the recognition is finally coming in.

It is I who really needs to thank you all. I'm just some average Joe who likes to watch TV and fiddle with web pages on his spare time.
It is everyone on this site that makes FIREFLYFANS.NET what it is--a community. Without you all, we would not have the interviews, the episode reviews, the special reports, the newsletter, the forum discussions, the daily chats, and all that are to come in the future. All this. All of it. And I've been told this many times--all of it before a single frame of Firefly has aired.
So, really, without all of you, this site has little worth. So I thank you. Now, let's all watch Firefly on Friday.
