Thanks ZOEHASZEN for the info! I also feel this site is much more uplifting and supportive of the cause.
I also agree that personal plees are better, but a form letter allows those who don't have the time to help out quickly and conveniently, and we want all of the fans to participate.
Let us know what you come up with.

All right folks, I've been poking around out there, and there are alot of Firefly sites, but none of them are mounting any kind of counter attack.
I'm with DHEROOFCANTON, we need to get the administrator on board. We need a centralized location as our base. I wish I new more about the web, I would link up to this site and have a separate counter attack location for the letters and addresses to be accessed. But I'm kina like Jayne when it comes to da innernet!

Hello Again!
The word is out there! It has also been suggested that lettrs be written to Mr. Wheadon to keep his hopes up as well. I think that's a kind idea.
How about you!

You are the man! (or the woman!)

Get those addresses and I'll be writing - emailing my little heart out!!

you said form -- it sounds cheesey but maybe
we can get it on brown paper

or have it in the form of a "coat"

or seomething that at a glance - they any anyone
who see's it know what its about and who its from.

(THe best thing to do is on a post card -its open
people see it and - are there postcards
made of firefly??? or can those be done?

what do ya think?

Shiney _ I don't think we have to get FOx to give up the "rights"

Si Fi channel is airing Firefly so they have
"bought" enough rights already

that's how Joss could do Serenity with the same
people and stuff

just not the song and the firely name

there has to be a Different Title of the series,
a new song but same characters etc.

Joss is the creator - he can use those characters

*the propblem is Does Joss Want this to continue?

He is the one to start it.

I am all for "softening up" the networks by
a letter campain but we are dead in the water
if Joss doesn't have the heart to re-do this

Its a great idea to let JOss know how we feel

I think he was dissappointed about the movie
not being a runaway hit -- but is more confident
now that the serenity DVD's are doing so well.

How can a "We love Firefly/Serenity please bring it back!! - letter writing campain go wrong??

Hey, which City does Joss live in?

Maybe we should post full-paage newspaper ads
and/or billboards on the major higways into
"hollywood"??

Flip dog

you good at media law?

its correct what i said, right

as the Creator of the series - Joss can take
a "new series" anywhere
with a different title and song

or has there been new laws that state he
can't? my info a bit old

or when si fi aired it - did fox give up those "rights"

or does it depend on the contract?

re: firefly season2

I don't know - it sounds like it could be a rip off - not sure but truly I've never done
pay per view -

kids like the guy/gal who keeps asking howmuch money are you willing to give to firefly

-and I'll way what I said

I TRULY THINK THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY OUT THERE
THE Q IS WILL JOSS START THE BALL ROLLING?

(I truly believe that there is enough interest
in serenity to get a series out of Si Fi without too much of a problem but it won't be handed to Joss - he and his team will have to "work" for it --and again it all boils down to --Does Joss want to do this!!! )

Serena777,
It's woman, and thanks. My thoughts are that Fox owns the first season of Firefly and the Firefly name. I believe that Sci-Fi could start a Serenity series if they wanted to.
I love the postcard idea. Cafepress.com can help with that, you can make your own. I don't know what the cost would be. Might be cheaper to get 5-10 different ones made up, and have a local printer copy them for us in bulk to get a better discount.
I'm at work right now, but in a few hours I'll be home and I'll start searching!
I agree, it's Joss's call. He needs us now more than ever. I was going to send him something like this:

Dear Mr. Wheadon,

Good Day, and hello. I would first like to thank you for all of the wonderful programming you have brought to all of your fans over the years. I hope you know how appreciated you are, and how much your creativity and zest for human folly have meant to all of us.

I am a thirty-something fan, I work full time, and I am working on a Bachelor’s Degree part time. When I get a chance to relax, and watch some TV, it’s nice to be able to watch a quality program, which of course, there aren’t anymore, unless you are lucky enough to catch a rerun of one of your shows.

I have been reading articles about Firefly, my favorite of all your work. I have been reading about how tired you are, and how hard it was to make and to sell. I have also read that you may have given up on ever returning it to the small screen. I can certainly understand your fatigue, as genius can be exhausting. (And that’s sincere, not kissing ass). But I implore you, please don’t give up hope. Browncoats everywhere are uniting, and assimilating new members. Our numbers are growing. Firefly is by far the best entertainment creation of all time, with the absolute perfect cast. It’s very unfortunate that the people with the power to re-light it, are so short on vision.

Your fans aren’t giving up, and although we will support you in any endevour, we hope that you will keep the fight for Firefly alive, despite your frustration and fatigue. We are behind you, no matter what.

Sincerely,

Let me know what you think. PH8LDIVIDE has a knack for letter writing. He might be better at this type of thing.

A giant thank you note/we need more letter to Joss is a great idea, but for it to work it needs to be really well organize, almost like a petition, 1 writer thousand of signatures and then find a way to e-mail it to him.... has anyone considered how awesome a really good, animated series/movie woul be?.. same cast with joss whedon and either genndy tartakovsky(SW: Clone wars, samurai jack) or bruce timm(Batman TAS, Justice league) would be?!?!... i mean i'd certainly rather have a sci-fi cahnnael mni, or a direct to dvd or theatrical movie, or you know the holy grail SERENITY:THE SERIES.. but animated could be fun.

I'm working on the organization part. You know, life and stuff getting in the way!
I think we have all of the e-mail and snail addresses we need throughout this thread and some others. We just need to get all of the info in one localized place, and that is what I'm working on.
Until then, we need to spread the spirit, I feel it's a little low!

Hey people, One good thing today is that SciFi is giving Firefly some press coverage. So we must be creating some sort of buzz.

And on the Joss letters thing. Wr. Wheadon is very busy with Wonder Woman and all the comics he is putting out. He is currently working on a Buffy miniseries, an Angle miniseries, a Spike miniseries, a Past-Slayers mini series, a Future slayer (mini)series, and Astonishing X-Men Monthlys. Honestly, I think he is taking a break from the Verse for a little while. What we need to do is keep up the Buzz so that the market is ready when he feels that he can put his all in another Firefly related product. Be that Movies, TV, or Something entirely different.

That being said I am 100% with a moral support mail campaign from Browncoats across the world. I think that it might be a boost to his spirit to see how many diffrent Browncoats from around the world still love his creation. And I love the custom Firefly/Serenity postcard idea. But I am unwilling to put my 2 through the USPS so we are going to need a replenishable supply.

Ok Browncoat- Spearding the signal in the vast empty nothingness

I agree with getting Firefly back on the air, with Joss having TOTAL creative control, and no interference from the as

es that be...oops I meant powers-that-be.

Just my 2cents on this. If memory serves, Sci-Fi is owned by USA Networks (again, if memory serves...and it doesn't always). So going after Sci-Fi may be beatin' your head against a really big wall - we need to find out what the PARENT network is and go to THEM!

Anyone else out there know anything about this?

(dont shoot the messenger, i did look at about 5 different websites to make sure this is correct, but they may have been the wrong 5)

Sci Fi, USA and Universal Pictures (also Bravo) are owned by NBC

and my boyfriend and i were just talking about that :P

And NBC is owned by GE.

Let's not get too far afield. Concentrate on Sci-Fi, they make the decisions at their level. Though, from my perspective, I'd love to see the thing on HBO, as it will then most likely make the jump to TMN up here in Canada and from their to TV, just like the Sporanos did and a TMN-produced show, ReGenesis, and with almost all of the naughty bits included, too :)

If you can survive death, you can probably survive almost anything.

How many Browncoats are there?
And is there an e-mail address or snail maild address I could use to mail Joss Whedon?

My husband bought Serenity and we have watched it many times before we discovered Firefly. There were a lot of unanswered questions in Serenity. Since we don't watch commercial television at all, it was amazing to find such a wonderful "Gunsmoke/Star Trek/Science fiction, funny and very serious, well acted series. I really don't understand why it was canceled. Yes, let's get it back on the air.

What's up home chickens?

Yes, I know I haven't posted anything on here in a long time, but I'm a more than full-time student currently enrolled in two colleges simultaneously. Get off my back.

It seems as though we are headed in the right direction, and I can't tell you how pleased I am with how much everyone has been doing. I just wanted to drop in and say thanks to all of you who heard my call to arms and have decided to step up to the challenge. Keep up the great work!

I have no intention of abandoning the forum that I started. I hope to become more active again when things aren't so crazy. Again, great job everybody. Let's keep the torch lit and make that sucker burn so bright that TV networks in other countries will offer us a network just to shut us up. Think of it, the all Joss network. All Joss all the time, heaven.

P.S. Just kidding Joss.

P.S.S. Joss, get Firefly put back on. I'm putting a digital warp in the box set, and I will soon need another.
