Site of the Week—May 3, 2004

FireflyFans.net
http://www.fireflyfans.net

Though its life span was less than that of its insect namesake, Firefly has inspired intense loyalty among its viewers, as well as an expanding base of fans who only discovered the show after it was canceled. FireflyFans.net harnesses this enthusiasm to forge a rallying point for fans as they anticipate the resurrection of the series as a feature film.

The site provides a steady stream of news about the series, its creator Joss Whedon, and its cast and crew, keeping fans aware of progress with the upcoming movie as well as mentions of the series in various media. The site boasts a unique sort of episode guide, which consists of reader ratings for each of the series' 13 offerings, as well as reader comments, plot-point questions and storyline speculation. It makes for a disjointed, but interesting, dialogue as readers post back and forth in their attempts to better understand the series.

FireflyFans.net sports a "Blue Sun Room" for creations submitted by readers, including fan fiction, series trailers, banner ads and desktop images. The Online Store provides a table tracking the sales ranking of the Firefly DVD box set on Amazon.com, while the Personality Test poses 16 questions to participants, and then informs them which member of the crew they most closely resemble. Rounding out the site are the Online Forums, which see a fair amount of traffic as fans debate the merits of the series, discuss the failings of nearly every other science-fiction show, and dream of the Serenity's triumphant return.
