Have you visited http://www.fireflysupport.com lately? It's now "The League of Whedon's World Writers and Artists," whatever that is. The site's FAQ doesn't mention any involvement by Joss, though his name is on the site, and I couldn't find any mention of what happened to the old firefly support, a site that I, like many of you, relied on for updates on the ongoing battle to save Serenity. Does anybody know what the deal is with this new site? Or what happened to firefly support?

I could submit my own website but this looks like the ego up the ass "secret club" fan bullshit that I hate.

Fan Art on my site is for all Firelfy Fans to enjoy, share and distribute freely to help promote the show.

I get forbidden but I saw the Secret Club Bullshit site last night and it made me angry.

I guess there are some people out there who just don't have lives beyond their concept of fandom.

I'm with you, Succatash.

hmmm. Forbidden secret clubs. Sounds more like some lifeless idgets trying get fans of themselves with some little mutual admiration society then a group of Browncoats or Whedon supporters.

But maybe I'm just feeling a bit harsh not having had my coffee yet today.

Guess that just leaves it to all of us and our glorious Haken to track down and spread the news.

Are these people for real? I guess they are the true fans and the rest of us are just nobody. The stick is so far up their ass they spit woodchips. I wouldn't want my site affiliated with theirs or submit myself to their ruling council. Just take a look at their requirements and ask yourself "Is this how I want to show my support and spread the word to others?" Justice league, more like the Legion Of Doom.

Speaking of websites, I still have alot of work to do on mine, but take a look anyways, you might get a laugh or at least see a couple pretty pictures.

Looks to me like it was set up by Stuart Smalley.

I've heard rumors that he was going to start a website. It seems likely.

Can you imagine getting a rejection letter from these guys? What a bunch of dick heads. Instead of using their artwork to promote the show, they are using the show to promote themselves.

*snorts and rolls eyes*

These are the kind people that think they need to be part of some exclusive club to be in some wierd imagined "in group" of fandom. This board is not a club, not in any way exclusive, and open to anyone, and I feel much more at home and in a family here than I would in any club or something like that.

After all, they don't have space hot tubs

These the same people that were trying to lynch you a month or so back, Succatash?

ZOE: I wish there was another way...

DOBSON: Oh, no, no. That woman is like a dragon. I mean, I believe she has a tail. If there's any other moons we need to visit, or if we could just
fly very slowly...

Talrius, I've been going over the League of Doom video, looking for evidence. Thanks to slow motion and the Pause button on my remote control, I'm pretty sure I know who is behind this.

http://www.strangefinger.com/league-of-doom.mpg (4MB)

I'm fairly certain that the guy in the blue tights is the the ring leader, and the woman in the transparent jet is second in command.

Naturally, it follows that that everyone wearing tights could be very dangerous. What should we do? It's important not to panic. With a little training, you can spot Doom Members from a mile away.

The first thing a Legion of Doom Region Leader does is wear a T-Shirt with their area code printed on it in big letters.

Most Region Leaders have the ability to sing very well, but this varies between regions. Avoid mimes, ballet dancers, and library storytellers at all costs.

The most important thing we can do is stick together. Don't answer the telephone unless you have to.

yes, but do they have a secret handshake? You can't be an exclusive club and part of the "in" crowd if you don't have a handshake.

I don't have a handshake for them, but I do have a greeting they can use. In the spirit of minimalism (been looking at too much swedish modern furniture) I only involves one finger

I'm not reliving high school, honest.

(square pegs anyone?)

A report from the trenches: I am surrounded by these people. They are all wearing the area-code jersey and talk of nothing but their singing guru. There are posters of him on every door and window in my beleaguered city. I have met no other members of our underground resistence.

Today I ate lunch where there was a sandwich named after the guru. Could the League have infiltrated this far? What awaits those of us that shrug off the tyranny of the fandom?

And if you must answer the phone, please answer it after our tradition and fashion, so as to set your fellows at ease.

Vive le resistance!!!
