I'm planning to do something creative with my time and it would be nice to produce a Firefly related piece. But I'm interested in what people want more of. As far as I can see there are forms of fan produced material:

Fanfic - as seen in hundreds of filks, slash fics, regular fics, non-canon and assorted.

Audio - Browncoat radio, of course, as well as other pieces.

Video - epic stuff like Mosquito and smaller stuff like fanvids.

Craft - Jayne hats, other costumes, models.

Art - drawings, cartoons, paintings. The things MPhillips rules at.

I'm just trying to understand what people wish there was more of - maybe other creative people will take note too.

Video. Or a written series, in novel form.

I think I love all of them but the one I really want to see more of is, well, fanfiction, because I love reading them. Some of these are actually so good it allows me to forget, for a moment, that there is no more Firefly and Serenity, at least for now.

I love art too. I'd like to see more of it, handdrawn pictures or wallpapers. There are some great artists around.

And I'm looking forward to seeing the entries for the Serenity Summer contest regarding Firefly-episode fanvids. :)

So, yeah... pretty much everything.

Art. wallpapers, sigs, sketches and so forth. though I love to draw so i'm probably biased.

Music videos and fanfics are like heroin for me, so more of those won't be enitrely a bad thing.

I'd love to see more Firefly fanmixes. There's a severe lack of them...

What's a fanmix?

And I just knew I'd get a different answer from every poster!

A fanmix is a fanmade soundtrack. I've done 3 of them for Firefly. A Mal/Inara EP, A River EP and a 10 song mix reflecting on the past of the crew...

Fics! I love a good story. The others are nice enough, but they don't provide the lasting enjoyment of a good fic for me.

Personally I would like to see far fewer music video type montages. I mean, they're better than nothing, but...

What I would like to see much more of is true fan films. I realize how hard they are to do though.

What I hope to contribute are dramatic readings of Fanfic, being quite the speachie. What would you guys think of that?

I think that's an excellent idea! Audiobooks can be really good; the UK version of the Harry Potter books, read by Stephen Fry, was awesome.

Okay - some interesting responses - can I ask how many people hear would be able to record themselves doing voices for characters - you'd need a PC or Mac and a semi-decent microphone (or tekkie friend to borrow them off).

Any one?
