I've always been partial to, "Big Damn Anniversary" with a thank you letter campaign and a drive to purchase all things Firefly/Serenity...(and donate them to libraries if you've already got stuff! www.whedonverse.org)

11th, now that you're official and all, I've got people assembling a mailing list of different websites. Once it's compiled, it is definitely headed your way. :) Part of the reason I wanted to start something was to help organize a coherent way to hit Browncoat related sites, especially in a place as large and varied as cyberspace. Now we can pass the list down the line for each event and notify the fandom in a consistent and methodical way.

Other suggestions for our Summer of Serenity:
**Firefly/Serenity clothing days - be a walking billboard!
**Approaching bookstores or movie stores to donate - I know Borders will do a percentage of sales during a specific time, so that's an idea for Sept., all procedes going to Equality Now!
**Printable magnets to download - purchase magnetic sheets from Staples (I got mine from KMart) and stick 'em anywhere you can!

LOTS'o summer fun! Yay!

One day.

MUTINOUSMUSE

I think this is a great idea, and a logical comprimise that respects all of the work and passion that people have exhibited towards this concept so far. I had originally volunteered to help canvass LJ, but backed off a little one the kerfufflage started. I'm a newbie to this fandom (although not to fandom in general) and I confess I was a little taken aback at the (for lack of a better word) nasty turn that the conversations took regarding what seemed like it should be a celebratory thing. 11thHour, I'm really exicted that you have suggested a positive way for moving forward, and that other people seem content with this solution.

So, to whomever is organizing whatever, I'm still happy to help pimp out the event/s on LJ at a variety of communities whenever we have set information and graphics.

Three cheers for Sereniflyication Day on Junetemper 230th!

I like the Big Damn Appreciation Day for Sept 30.

So does this mean we're doing the whole Summer of Serenity idea? Start in June (which Kaele, I'm still working my sites no worries) highlight through the summer and wrap up with Sept 30? I'll hit the same places with the Sept 30 info, I just need a clear idea of what message needs to be sent.

I also think this is a good idea. As for a name for the Sept. event, September of Serenity seems the most logical.

Then again, we could simply have "Firefly Day" on June 23rd and "Serenity Day" on Sept. 30.

We do have domains for both, after all.

I do agree with you. But, as far as I know, Kaele's Browncoat Army still wants to use "Serenity Day" for June 23rd. That name seems more logical for September 23rd, but their group has already moved ahead with plans and it seems that they will be keeping that name.

"Firefly Day" will be great to use at some point, and it's good to know we already have a domain for it. I'd LOVE to be a part of creating a special day for Firefly at some point... and the "FireflyFans" website would be the perfect sponsor!

We still have some time to come up with a good name for Sept. 30th. A name which includes Serenity and celebrates the 'verse... yet won't confuse or put-off those not aquainted with the movie.

We all will be working to attract new fans, so we need to keep in mind how the name will sound to the uninitiated.

Suggestions like these have already been removed from the list:

Serenity 2 ~ Bite Me FOX
Serenity Day ~ I Got Yer Sequel Right Here
Serenity Day ~ Just Buy it Stupid
Serenity-O-Rama ~ Browncoats Go Wild!

The floor is still open to ideas... heh...

Unless the name of the Campaign is Serenity Summer Campaign.... ok

Serenity Day would still work best, logically, but I understand that it may be too late to change the name for June 23rd.
Anyways, my suggestions are...

June 23rd: Serenity Day
Inbetween: Summer of Serenity
September 30th:

- Rise of Serenity (in sales, too, and it shows that it's not over, but just beginning)

- Serenity Rising (more or less the same)

But it doesn't have a DAY in there. We can't have "Serenity Day" and then "Serenity Something Day", but on the other hand we need to point out that it's a day after the summer campaign, or it's gonna look like a confusing mishmash. That's a funny word, mishmash.

I was just thinking about Serenity Appreciation Day for a second, but that would be SAD, lol.

Of course, names for June 23rd and September 30th could be switched, if still possible and agreeable.

So ultimately, I'd like

June 23rd: Serenity Rising
Inbetween: Summer of Serenity / Serenity Summer Campaign
September 30th: Serenity Day.
