Hi Browncoat Posters!

Recently someone put up a great thread about taking some action for the 1st anniverseary of the BDM and they included Universals address for people to send thank you notes to for making the movie, so since were all writing to each other I thought we could help out here too and drop a couple notes to them too!

Here is the orginal thread:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=22978&m=358513#358513

So if you want to do this, put down their address in your shiney list that Saraha (Hi Saraha!) sent you!

Thanks and happy writting (I'm still waiting for my shiney postcards to arrive...damn you amazon! Damn you! But I promise it will be worth the wait, you guys are going to love them!)

Hi Capture! *waves*

I got my first letters in the mail! Yippee, I'm lovin' this!

Oh, ahem.. back to the topic.

Although I think writing Universal and thanking them is all fine to do. I really like the idea that someone has proposed of having big shindigs for the anniversary! I'm much more excited by that. It's possible that like the screenings, if the parties were big enough and fun enough, they'd get press, real press and Universal would see that. Just like they saw the screenings and our success there. I'm afraid with a regular letter writing campaign that Universal might just be going... "Uh huh.. here's somemore of those letters, lots, but not enough to make us think.. yeah.. we wanna give 'em a sequel." or worse.. "I wish they'd quit begging for a sequel.. we'll get to it when we get to it!"
Letter writing campaigns have been done.. overdone.. we did one to SciFi here recently. Time to change tactics? Maybe.

How does this tie into the wonderful ( my new favorite cool thing!) Browncoat Post?

Our members could write each other about ideas for shindigs and write the new BC's that join up with the Browncoat Post. Also we could encourage our members, who like to write

to maybe suggest to their local paper that they might have a nice human interest story? A big ole shindig with prizes and viewing Serenity and laughter and fun might be just the kind of news we all need right now in this time of nothing but darkness in the news.

I know I'm being different, but I just can't help feeling we need to celebrate some, kick up our heels and enjoy the BDM. If we do this right, Universal will be saying. "Hmm, now that is new!
Maybe just maybe there's enough of them...."

The screenings for Equality Now certainly got the right kind of attention.. I'd like to see what we do not be ho-hum, but fun!

Hi FollowMal!

Your ideas are great! I am so happy everybody has so much passion for Firefly! I got really excited when I saw the Universal address I just knew I had to add to the Browncoat Post list, but your plans are far better then mine!

Thanks for all your dedication and brain power (I might need to borrow some...I think mine died).

Not hardly my dear! You came up with the shiniest idea in the 'Verse currently. The Browncoat Post is an awesome idea and it's already made me happy, and I'll bet the others signed up are as delighted as me. In fact I hope that more BC's will see how much fun we're havin' exchanging very cool postcards and letters and join us! My absolute glee upon opening my mailbox yesterday would not have been possible without you! And I thank you.

Actually, this may have been the wrong thread to say the stuff I did, but I'm kind of excited -like over the shindig thing and I started and couldn't stop.

I didn't create the Browncoat Post, that is all Saraha! I just named it a nice shiney name and have helped spread the word a bit! I really want it to be a success!

I'm really glad you're having fun with it!

Hell, if we're very lucky and enough people write in to them, maybe universal will pick up where f*x dropped the ball and take up production of the series.

Just a thought.

That would be awesome!

I think we should all try to send out a thank you to them on the first annivesary like the orginal thread suggested!

It will make for shiny good karma too!

Kisses,
