I responded to your post on the other thread, too...

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=20231

Thank you so much, Seba.

The Serenity Summer campaign is not a Day, though, you should take it out because it will just confuse people. The Serenity Summer Campaigns just means added efforts for Serenity Day on September, spread over the 2 months between June 23rd, and Sept 30th.

I voted for SEPTEMBER, but I'm actually for the summer plan with Serenity Day on sept 30th. It's gonna divide the votes for september.

So everyone who's for the Serenity Summer Campaign, vote september 30th (until the Campaign thing is taken off) - the campaign is another matter, and much more "independent", although of course a common effort.

Serenity Summer Campaign for teh win!1!!

Great, now someone voted for ALL SUMMER.
PLEASE DELETE THE ALL SUMMER OPTION, Seba, it's drawing away votes from September 30th, and the whole discussion will begin anew and hwai!

Also, people should know that this is NOT an election race between Kaele and 11th Hour - Leadership is always subject to change. We're in this TOGETHER.

Actually, now having actually read through the threads, I've desided to resign. This is getting too rediculous and petty. The original concept was simple and we were all together on it. Now it's turned into this bureaucratic nightmare with no spirit left in it. I'm ashamed to be a browncoat today.

Good luck with whatever you do. I'm going to go watch some Firefly.

I'm sorry Seba..I hope my request for help with seeing where to vote hasn't contributed to that feeling.

I do know how you feel though, I went offline the other day and watched Firefly and tried to cope with the loss of family feeling here and the just plain sad feeling. Watching helped and being away a little gave me some perspective. But I came back, cuz this is home and I'm a Browncoat and this is worth getting right.

The voting site you put up is shiny and I hope you will not go away and stay away... it's likely the leader of this will need you when they decide which way they are going.

Thanks a bunch, Seba!

So, when do we STOP the voting and count the votes?
Monday noon, your time zone? I always get confused with time zones.

EDIT:Hey, what, you're leaving?

I'm sorry too that it turned out this way, but that's how it went and we can still have lots of fun when we get through the storm. You'll see when the sun comes through, and maybe you'll reconsider.
I'll see you around on the more fun threads, though, I hope.

...everybody's so angry...

Why can there be only *one* Serenity Day?

For one, the Whedony goodness just can't be contained in a mere 24-hour span. That's asking each hour to do far more than it was ever intended. The poor things will end up with stretch marks.

For another, those that can't participate in one day's festivities may be able to participate in another.

For a third, if a thing brings more strife and grief than family and friendship, it doesn't seem to jibe with the vibe of Firefly/Serenity - which is not only the well-meaning futility of large bureacracies and the harm they cause, but the truly important stuff. Family. Home. Wherever that may be, whatever form that may take.

On June 23rd and on September 30th, I'm going to hang out with friends, have a barbequeue, watch Serenity, and sit around and just enjoy their company.

Just to be contrary, I'll do that on other random days as well.

All this angry back and forth is going to short out my irony light.

The whole thing is being discussed in about 9 other, very long threads. The point is to make one big impact on ONE day, not 2 moderate ones on 2 days.
We've discussed all of this to great length, now it's time to vote, and then get going for real.

All right, I've cleared my head. I'll continue to work on the website, but hopefully things will improve. I emailed kaele and let her know how I feel about things, as I'm starting to believe that it will be much smoother for everyone if we just move the thing to Sept. (and the poll is saying as much anyway). It will certainly ease the conflict, in any case.

Besides, then we'd have some shiny alliteration going on: Serenity September.

Sorry, I have been in my own little world working on my book. What is Serenity Day excatly? Everyone is suppose to go out and buy a copy of the DVD on this day or something?

It is a cool idea, I am all for it. But what excatly is suppose to get accomplished? Are we trying to convert new fans? Because if we are I would bet a pretty penny that by Sept it will be playing on HBO already. Maybe even a gozillion times. So once it does that people will not buy it.

Are you sure it will be on HBO? and even if it was, would everyone watch it? How many people subscribe to HBO. If people are casual viewers and were potentially interested in the movie, i am sure they would have rented it already. Also, if people watched it on HBO and liked it, it would help to reach out to them, and point out that buying the DVD from universal is a good idea, because we can help convince them(in the long run), to have more. And also tell them there is more(the Firefly series), and that more people have to see this. Especially since the movie didnt do well at the box office.

As I am aware of for the june 23rd it will be a day of buying dvds... and donating them to libraries...and try to get as many fans and non-fans to buy it around that day. And writing letters.

In terms of Sept 30th, it would involve a whole summer of promoting the movie by flyers getting people interested at conventions, maybe get the actors to say a few things, and then on Sept 30th, buy the dvds. And donating those dvds to libraries etc, or as gifts. OH and writing letters to universal as well.

The arguments for june 23rd is that its already planned, there is enthusiasm and some momentum, and by changing the date, one would risk losing the enthusiasm and interest of the browncoats, plus the planning would be in vain somewhat.

For sept 30th the arguments, is that more time is allowed to have a bigger campaign, to be able to reach more people(through the conventions etc), and more people would buy the DVD on sept 30th than June 23rd. Plus people could be doing xmas shopping then. And any bad feelings with the screenoing charity campaign Serenity Now/Equality Now would be resolved, since there would be no potential confusion between the two campaigns.

Correct me if I am wrong about the descriptions. I hope the arguments I presented we as unbiased. I they were, again please feel free to correct me.

I'm down with that. I dunno about the June people, though - their time is too short as it is. But if it's okay with them and nobody promotes any one DATE or anything outside FFF.net, everybody should be happy. Promoting the vote in the Browncoat community is okay, of course.
So, say, Saturday, May 6th, noon, whatever middle American time is called?

With everyone?

And yeah, it's closer than I figured. Well, here's hoping.

HARSHCRITIC

Thanks for taking the time to fill me in. I really appreciate it. I voted for the June date, although knowing very little about Serenity Day at the time. I will try to participate in whatever is planned in some fashion.

I am 90% sure that HBO has the rights to Serenity. There are lot of subcribers to HBO. They have 10 million+. If it is not HBO, which I am pretty sure that it is, then its Encore which has a lot of subcribers as well. It definately will have premiered on tv by Sept, which is something that I look forward too. I thinks a lot of people will discover how great it is during this time.

All in all, I think you've made a good point. If people fall in love with it by watching it on tv and then they hear about Serenity Day, they my be more incline to buy the dvd. But I think for the most part if it comes on tv by the time there is a Serenity Day, many would be fans would have taped it already and will be less incline to buy the dvd. That is just my opinion. Whenever the day is scheduled, I will participate in some fashion. Either way, it is still a good idea.

This debacle makes little sense to me, in all honesty. Even though I've organized a charity screening, I was also going to support Serenity Day too, since I feel both can be done on the same day. However, I voted for September 30th so it would be less confusion and we would have more to look forward to in the coming year. :)
