My partner and I have made a $20 donation, and also linked the site on some forums:

www.outofspaced.com (a generic tv/film forum I run)
www.zetaminor.com/roobarb (a DVD forum my partner runs)
www.gallifreyone.com/forum/ (a Dr Who forum where there are quite a few Firefly fans)

So hopefully the message will be spread just that little bit further!

Cheers

So far I've resisted the temptation to castigate Firefly fans (I quite like the show but wouldn't dream of calling myself a 'Browncoat').

However it does intrigue me as to WHY this particular show has attracted so many, shall we say obsessive and garrulously paranoid fans?

If people must solicit money in this way wouldn't it far more constructive to, you know, use for something of genuine benefit to somebody? Donate it to a charity where it can do some real good, however small.

I'd hope Nathan Fillion would much prefer that to being presented with an old piece of costuming.

As a long standing Whedon fan can I just say I'm a bit tired of coming across begging posts at every turn on the internet asking me to vote for Firefly/Serenity in pretty much every poll that comes up.

What next "Vote for Serenity as Best Incontinence Pad of 2005 Poll"

Do it on Serenity Websites and General SF Websites if you must but please leave this litte haven Serenity free.

As someone who actually liked Firefly (especially Mr Adam Baldwin) I'm begining to dislike it because of the activity of it's fans.

Yes but we didn't clogg up Star Trek sites begging for they to vote for Who as the Best Sci-Fi show Ever.

Really, it's not the show or the film I have the problem with, or fans asking for it back. It's the endless plugging and fixing of every single bloody poll that ever comes.

The sad fact is that it's giving the show and its fans a terrible reputation.
