A few of us are going to create a book which chronicles the last year and a bit for all of us, kind of like a yearbook for the end of Firefly and the start of Serenity. It would have your regular yearbook style pages with everyone's name and photo who had the mind to contribute them, but also reports and editorial and pictures of our Shindigs, our big events, the conventions, the mad promotional stuff we got up to and our own memories of the Big Damn Movie and our Big Damn Heroes.

What is going to be integral to this book, are the stories, so if you have a great story, we wanna hear it. Also, the yearbook section will be a major part of the book.

This is the important part - this book will belong to ALL BROWNCOATS, it isn't a private project which will benefit some more than others. If you want to contribute IN ANY WAY, just email browncoatbook@gmail.com and tell us what you're thinking - it could be a testimonial for Firefly, tales of the BDHs, your personal review of a Shindig, a photograph, a drawing, or anything else of interest. Most of all, we want you to be inthe book as your own yearbook entry, which will be a photo, name, username, short comment and a space for a signature, so that book owners can have the Browncoats they know and meet sign their copy.

The book will be 200 pages and will cost about $15. It will be available to buy online, hopefully by the end of January, as we want to include all the Christmas Shindigs, Big Damn Flanvention, Serenity 2 etc.

We have already had offers of help from editing to illustrating, design and content, whatever you can offer, please let us know.

The email again - browncoatbook@gmail.com, you can reply here, (and please keep this bumped) but please also email because it may get hard to keep track of the posts.

So what are you waiting for? I want no excuses for not being involved!

Alright, a HUGE bump is needed here.

I assume since none of you posted here, you're all following the discussion on the browncoats.serenitymovie.com boards. But if you're NOT, then hey! All of you need to wake up and get some submissions in, especially for the yearbook entry section.

Here's a longer post than the original, with updated info:

===

Super short version:

Email individual yearbook entries (photo, name, username and short comment) to
bcyearbook @ gmail.com

Email group stuff, stories, ideas, suggestions, help offerings etc to
browncoatbook @ gmail.com

Deadline is November 30th

Available for about $15 online, hopefully, by the end of January.

Photos should be high quality, 300 dpi

A few of us are creating a yearbook for the end of Firefly and the start of Serenity. It would have regular yearbook style pages (7.5 x 9.25 inches is the size of the book, it will be all in black and white on the inside) with everyone's name and photo who had the mind to contribute them, but also reports and editorial and pictures of our Shindigs, our big events, the conventions, the mad promotional stuff we got up to and our own memories of the Big Damn Movie and our Big Damn Heroes.

This book will belong to ALL BROWNCOATS, it isn't a private project which will benefit some more than others. If you want to contribute IN ANY WAY, just email browncoatbook @ gmail.com and tell us what you're thinking –

Most of all, we want you to be in the book as your own yearbook entry, which will be a photo, name, username, short comment. if you have JUST yearbook entries (eg photo, name, username, comments) can you please send them to bcyearbook @ gmail.com Photo sizes - they will be printed as passport size, so portrait ones are better, but we can edit them. If images are big, we will just resize them, so don't worry

What is going to be integral to this book, are the stories, so if you have a great story, we wanna hear it.

a testimonial for Firefly,
tales of the BDHs,
your personal review of a Shindig,
a photograph, a drawing,
or anything else of interest.

Clubs, crews and stuff -- Send it in, talk amongst yourselves first if you like and then have someone submit it on behalf of everyone.

Deadline is November 30th, though I know that there will be Flanvention and Christmas Shindig reports coming in, and I will leave space for that.

The book will be 200 pages and will cost about $15.

It will be available to buy online, hopefully by the end of January

We have already had offers of help from editing to illustrating, design and content, whatever you can offer, please let us know.

Shindigs
Testimonials
Miscellaneous
Guerilla Marketing
'Crews' section
Webcomics (already covered)

There will be others, and the misc. section can have anything, but these are the section headings, where most of the stuff that has been submitted will fit.

At the moment we have a lack of character and actor based stuff, so if you've got drawings, poems, thoughts, stories, photos etc. of any specific character or actor in the main 9 (and others like Saffron, Badger, etc if you like)then please send them in. If you do a website specific to a character or actor, then we want to hear from you too.

You go, Slayer!

Now, has there been an organized Yearbook response from the Starfury Serenity crowd, because I *know* we've got lots of pics and stories (not all about me and the daughter, either!!!)

Is somebody running a current Content list..?
