Can we set it to 'The Hero of Canton (The Man They Call Jayne)' tune, with some wacky new lyrics?

"MAL: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous.

Well, I believe the contest specifically asks people not to use that tune, if you feel like writing one based on 'The man they call Jayne' I'm sure others would love to hear it. At least I would! :)

Ah, yes.

I'd overlooked that.
My bad.

I saw the title, but my filk was set to a different tune...

So, only "The Hero of Canton" as the original song?

Not, Teela. They specifically ask you not to use that tune.

Don't worry Loni, it'll come to you. Watch Jaynestown and OMR a few times, maybe that'll help get the creative juices flowin'

Yeah, Loni, it's kinda where my inspiration came from.

I really need to work on it.

I have what may be a very dumb question -

It's mentioned that one of the prizes is a Browncoat flag. I've also seen csteinme's
pic of one of her Browncoat flags being given to Jewel Staite...

What ep/scene is the Browncoat flag out of? I don't remember seeing it and my DVDs have been out on loan.
