Zero had an excellent idea in the cnn article thread. In order to stand out from every other person who sends letters when their show is canceled, we should enclose blue gloves with our correspondence. The fans of Roswell inundated the network with Tabasco sauce forcing them to reconsider. True, the "little gift" idea has been done, but so hasn't sending letters. My only concern is that someone might freak out and take it as a threat--The men with the blue gloves weren't the friendliest people to come across.

Viva Firefly!

Yeah, the Blue gloves guys are kinda evil... also some latex gloves have powder on them, which could cause some hilarious building evacuations and the point of it might be lost in all the disease fears. Maybe we should stick to postcards.

Keep Flying.

Plus we'd have to make sure to alternate right glove, left glove, so that we didn't get stuck with lots of single gloves.

... what?

History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.

Certainly I agree with MollyBloom, sending blue gloves and apples by themselves would either cause them to be confused or angry, either way we lose. I still think sending blue gloves is a good idea though, IF we send it with an explaination, detailing its symbolic meaning. The gloves symbolize the conspiracy that Firefly has eluded to, and we could tell them that we love show for these interesting plotlines and character developement. The gloves could go with all the things that www.fireflysupport.com has been telling people to do. Maybe those execs would even have to rewatch the episodes to find out why the hell they have 2 million pairs of blue gloves on their desks, and grow to love it too, ;)

Yeah, all valid arguments. That's why I posted this thread, to get feedback. So, NO JUNK. But, we still need to make our campaign original. The longer it takes to get Firefly picked up, the more people fall by the wayside, loose heart, give up, etc. How do we get them to notice us now that our show has been cancelled, when they didn't even notice us when we were watching.

Viva Firefly (and NO JUNK!)

Good gravy, the last thing we need is for the very network we're pitching the show to to think that Firefly fans are a bunch of loonies.

Don't send them crap. Stick with the postcards-- non-threatening other than papercuts.

Zero...please. That blue glove crap is probably going to end up singlehandedly getting UPN to NOT pick up the show, if they were at all inclined to pick it up to begin with. I know you mean well, that you are a fan of the show, and want it back on the air but please, I'm beggin' ya....we have a lot of hard working people who really want this show to air as well, and sending junk to the head of UPN, especially junk with negative connotations in the show, junk that could cause a post-9/11 panic, junk that makes us look like a cheap knock-off of every other "save our show!" campaign is something to avoid like the Reavers. It sabotages the rest of our efforts.
