June 23rd.

You've got two choices. Please keep the posting down to ONE per person. Make your choice and explain why.

Firefly Day
-We've got Fireflyday.com and this is what people voted for on Maxrimstain's website.

Serenity Day
-My favorite. We've ALSO got serenityjune23rd.com and this ties in better with the Serenity Now/Equality Now campaign going on. (No connection to their efforts, though kudos to them for organizing their wonderful showings!) Serenity Day is also a better tie-in with us purchasing Serenity the movie on June 23rd.

Edit: We CAN still make a Firefly Day, that hasn't been ruled out! But it just doesn't make sense to me for June 23rd.
Vote now. I'll decide on these results 12:00am EST tonight because I've got people doing artwork that NEED an answer on this ASAP!

Serenity day.

That's what we're pushing/promoting/purchasing that day - not firefly. Though I may purchase another FF set that day in addition to the BDM.

I also like what serenity means - to Mal, to me, to browncoats.

Serenity Day

It's the day we're all buying Serenity, so it fits, right?

Also, and a BIG also, we're going to contact Universal about this. How appreciative do you think they'd be if we named the day after "Firefly" instead of "Serenity"?!

Remember, we really, really, REALLY need Universal to be on our side. We need to name the day after the movie they produced and the DVDs they are selling.

11th Hour

EDITED TO ADD:

For those folks who have a sentimental place in their heart for the name "Firefly Day", I do understand. But why not save that name for a campaign where we focus on Firefly?

This is not the last battle folks, we may need to do some other big statements to get our shiny 'verse back.

11th

I guess I can concede to Serenity day. After all, it's not as if it flies in the face of the show we all love -- Serenity was as much a character as anyone else on there, and to some extent, naming the show after the TYPE of ship she was can seem somewhat cold and impersonal. She does have a name, after all. And an appropriate one -- a place of security and peace amid the harshness of the world.

(( Now if only Universal would get rid of that damn Papyrus... :P ))

Serenity Day it is then. Count me in.

Serenity Day

To reiterate a point mentioned several different ways, Fireflyday.com should be used by a future initiative, doing something Firefly-centric.

Also, reserving the URL SerenityJune23 opens up the opportunity for continued use to drum up support for the third movie in the trilogy, etc

But if this mission works, we won't have drum up anymore support. There'll be fans everywhere, and a third movie will be a no-brainer for Universal.

And really, this makes my job easier -- I was going to do some intense image editing to get the Firefly title font (w/ an identical "day" beside it) superimposed over the Serenity background. No need for that now... :)

Of course, I may still try it with "Serenity Day" in Firefly-style type. Unless there's objections. I just think it'd be a nice nod to the show that we certainly haven't forgotten/given up on.

A few days ago I suggested SereniFLY...

Reasons:
-I wanted to preserve the tie, knowing that people should ALSO see the serie in order to become total browncoats.
-Straight Serenity may be misunderstood for something unrelated to the 'verse, at all.

But of those two, Serenity is fine for me.

I feel your pain, itsbroken. I want the series back more than more movies, but we have to get a commercial success first. And the movie direction has a better chance right now.

What was it one of the commentators on the FF DVD said? He hoped a movie would be a success so some clueless exec would get all excited and say "Hey! Let's make a series out of Firefly!"

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


I vote for "Serenity Day" as well. It just conveys the mission purpose better.

Alot of people out there might not recognize the connection between Firefly & Serenity, and we want them to buy Serenity.

Besides, isn't there already a Firefly Day, if I'm not mistaken?

Either way I think we're OK.

The redirect is a good idea.

Actually it's a good idea to reserve that url anyway. Sometime in the near future we might plan a campaign that puts the spotlight more directly on Firefly, then that web address will be great to have!

I vote for Serenity Day, because we're pushing for a new movie. A new series would be better, imho, but Joss and crew have implied that they're not going back to tv (in the near future), whereas the crew IS signed up for a three-movie deal.

I agree that the fireflyday.com needs to have a redirect to avoid confusion. I went to that site, then tried serenityday.com (before I knew about serenityjune23rd.com) and ended up at a spa.

But if the movement is more than just us, doesn't everyone have to agree? Otherwise it seems a little unorganized and lose it's impact.
