But, to put in a bit of constructive criticism: having the original crew in the show isn't a good idea. No-one could play those characters even remotely true to form besides the original actors. Do a different crew. Not only would that be better for being "realistic" in the 'Verse. But, it would allow for more creative freedom.

Also, depending on where you live, you might be able to hook up with these guys:

Or at least possibly coordinate stories with them, or chat about things, get hints, etc, etc, etc.

Good luck

Yeah I agree with sigmanunki, using the original crew is not a good idea. The fan actors could never measure up to the original performance of our big damn heroes.

But i do like the idea of doing a fan film. I've always thought that telling the story of someone else in the alliance academy would be a great premise for a fan film.

Regardless, I think the best choice for a fan film would be to get a new crew and new ship but set in the same 'verse.

And i also would love to get involved, but i'm not so sure how i can. Perhaps writing?

Just because you can't be part of the physical team, doesn't mean that you can't be involved nor does it mean that things can't be coordinated, etc. It just depends on what level of cooperation is wanted by both sides.

And therein lies the problem and the cancer that is in this community. Namely, no-one is willing to actually do anything but talk. "Here's a good idea that I came up with. Now someone do it because I can't because..."

Seriously. I wish that people would either go and start something or shut-up. Because, doing something that has the chance of creating new content is a good thing. But, just taking a piss is nothing but frustrating.

In all seriousness, if you want this to happen YOU are going to have to do it. No-one is going to come along and start something that you (or anyone else for that matter) suggest. It's just not going to happen.

Don't have enough experience? Who cares? Honestly, who cares? Just do it. People get experience BY DOING. Not by stilling around doing sweet fuck all.

I think an important question we're all overlooking is this: Verafan, is your primary objective with this project to do something fun for yourself and for anyone who wants to join you, or is your primary objective a production for the fanbase?

In simpler speak, are you more concerned about your audience/having one, or more interested in the fun factor?

There's nothing wrong with either! I want to say that right out front.

If this is for an audience, the others may be right in that the fandom likely won't accept anyone other than the original actors... Unless you decided to go cartoon style. Which some people won't like or accept for their own reasons, either.

If this is primarily for yourself and the actors and the other writers, then why not tell the story you want, with the characters you want? To say "I'm not going to produce this fan film because my actors just aren't THE actors and my show is not THE show" is like saying "I'm not going to write this fanfic because my characterizations are not THE actors and my writing is not THE show."

If it's for you and your team, you all together write a story you all like, you all want to produce it, and people want to play Zoe, River, Simon, Kaylee, Mal, Jayne, and Inara, then don't WORRY about your actors, because you're just trying to have fun with it!

Any time you post something on the internet, you're running into the chance that some people won't like it. So long as you acknowledge you're not official, and that you're not trying to be, you're just trying to do your own thing, that's THEIR problem, not yours. That's not something YOU have to work around unless you want to.

You might not even post it on the internet after all, and then who's to say what you can and can't do?

Although... Whatever you do, I wouldn't try to charge money for it, you know. *wince* LEEEEGAL issues. *said in spooky voice*

Worked fine for me just a moment ago.
