Yay, the first representatives of other fansites show up! A big WELCOME, Casinova!

And yeah, be nice to newbs! What gives?
Loved your post, FollowMal. You know, I know, but I wanted them to know, you know.

As long as our "leaders" work together and for the common cause, I'm behind them, no matter who they are. Only shiny people here anyways. There is no "I" in "Browncoats".

It may sound ridiculos, but my personal secret aim for us is 1 mill for Universal. We should be able to pull that off. I myself, am probably going to purchase 5 copies of just Serenity alone, and there's tens of thousands of us.
There was another thread around, quite recently, about how much money people would be willing to DONATE to get the Serenity flying again. Well, I dare those people to purchase copies of Serenity off Amazon on our Big Damn Day for the amount of money they were willing to donate. It's even better, if you think about it.

I have to say that I absolutely love you guys and your enthusiasm. Be assured that I'd share my bunk with any of you anytime. Well, in a totally friendly kind of way, of course. Except if you're hot and play your cards right.

One day.
One plan.

heh, you know, you're right. That survey we have on this website did say 40% of people were willing to give $100 or more :-p

just to let everyone know, i have a chance to to see guns n' roses in NYC May 17th...but since I can't juggle too much at once, i've decided to use my G n'R money to firefly.

that's right...i'm sacrificing here. But hey, guns n roses may never perform in public ever again but i'll do my best to see firefly on the screen again!

Seriously, that is sacrifice.

Hey, we should take pictures of ourselves with the copy (or copies, preferrably) of Serenity we purchased on the Big Damn Day and collect them on a website. If that would be humanly possible.

I have been a browncoat for over a year and this is only my 2nd time typing anything. I am hopeful that I will not come over like a complete idiot, horrible shyness so be kind. I have a question. Has anyone addressed the possible problem of supply vs. demand. Most retailers have had Serenity on the shelf for 6 months by the time that this event takes place. This may or may not be a problem in urban areas but if we are realistic they will probally only have 2 to 3 on the shelf and then re-supply as these are sold. A one day rush on this one movie could cause a number of Browncoats to not be able to get a copy. If every Browncoat wants to be counted have we worked up any other suggestions?

O.K. that was my post, if this has been addressed previously and I just missed it. Please forgive me :blush

Hey there, nice to see we got you to write again...
The answer to your question is simple: We all order Serenity from Amazon. Every order will be registered. They probably WILL have supply problems, but that's just the beauty of it!
Hope to see you around more!

I have a cunning plan also! A co-worker's parents have wallabies on their block (the bouncey things, not the brick factories in yellow jersies) I'm so tempted to abduct one, paint the Serenity logo on it and release it in the city mall on June 23rd - after calling a news crew of course. Anyone got a big black van we can borrow for the release? =)

The "Only at Amazon" plan is changing as we speak, since we have to think about the little retailers who would be pissed off if we took all of our business to Amazon as 11th Hour so rightfully pointed out.
So I guess the new plan is - try to buy it in a small store, or any store, and if you can't get one there or don't have the time, order it from wherever you like.
I think that's the new plan. Anyone correct me if it isn't.

Since I plan on buying 5 copies, anyways, I'll get them from different sources, but at least one is gonna be from Amazon.

This thread is getting a might big, could FollowMal or Kaele or Max start a new one (with a quick summary of what has been decided and what not, and the website, and DIGG etc. to start it off)?

Hi everyone, I'm a bit of a fresh browncoat (only discovered the verse after Serenity came out on DVD), but I am hooked.

I have been popping by this site now and then but thought it was about time I registered and added to this thread.

I think "Find Serenity - June 23rd" is a really good slogan, it has mystery, intrigue, the promise of adventure... people see that, they instantly want to know what it's about!

Dunno what I will manage to do for the event, but I will definately be buying Serenity on DVD, I already own it, but I'd do pretty much anything to get more of the firefly 'verse. Heck maybe I'll buy two!

Is everyone in the same country (I'm in UK) going to buy it from the same chain? So that one place gets phonomenally high sales? If so let me know. I notice someone thinks small retailers will be annoyed but, if every shops sells 10, thats unimpressive, if one shop sells 100,000 (no idea what figure would be impressive for a days sales), then it's more noteworthy, and will be at the top of that shops charts. And isn't the point of the organisation to make it as noticeable as possible?

I'm already working towards our goal of spreading the word, last night I stuck on firefly while my housemate was playing World of Warcraft, and after a while the computer was off, and he was watching episode after episode . I also convinced a mate to buy Serenity before he knew anything about it, and he loved it! Does anyone actually dislike firefly/serenity after actually seeing it?

The entity we want to take notice the most is Universal. Since they're the official corporation, and are keeping tabs on the sales figures for the Serenity DVD... 100,000 units is pretty much the same to them whether it came from one outlet, or ten, or more. A sale is a sale.

However, it will make a difference to retailers who'll appreciate being included in this HUGE buying frenzy. If we shut out so many medium to small retailers in favor of buying from Blue Sun... err, I mean Amazon, then we risk stirring up resentment with the very folks we want on our side.

Plus, the more retailers that sell out of the Serenity and Firefly DVDs will have to reorder... and it's very likely they'll reorder more than their usual amount after it becomes evident that interest in FF/S keeps building. So we'll get the benefit of great sales, PLUS a higher than normal reorder rate from a wide range of retailers.

I don't even know if that is possible, but could we send a newsletter to everyone registered here? Some of the Browncoats who just sort of lost interest could be "reactivated" with new motivation.
I'm sure they won't mind ONE e-mail, even if it could be considered spam. If they registered here in the first place, they'll understand.

Hey everyone, is there a final say on the Name / Domain issue? If so I'll go ahead and start on a title graphic for the website and an initial layout (unless there's any objections). At this point I'm assuming it's Firefly day by the votes. (Especially since Serenity Day.com is currently a Spa!)

Joss made that decision, not us. Let me assure you though, I have relatives who were affected by WWII (both US Navy and victims in Germany) and my husband's grandfather has a particular tattoo of numbers on the inside of his arm. I can promise that there is no affiliation with any form of genocide here.

Kaele, the concern has been brought up in other threads, and not just by me.

The fact is that using the phrase "one plan, one army of Browncoats" could turn people off to the message we're trying to get across; Which is, as you pointed out, LOVE. Not about armies, which are about death and destruction.

But as 11Hour likes to point out, what the hell do I know? I'm just a newbie who was so utterly turned off by the early fan marketing for Firefly and Serenity that I didn't bother to see it until my boyfriend dragged me to it. Which, I think, means that I have a different perspective to bring to the table.

The point IS and REMAINS-

The word "Serenity" means nothing to those who don't know it. Neither does "Firefly"- Serenity is a monestary and Firefly is an insect. I suggest SHOWING, not telling- Check out the banner thread for 'show- don't tell' examples.

The phrase "one plan, one army of Browncoats" is going to turn off some people who we would MUCH rather be making fans out of.

Unfortunatetly, there seems to be alot of Blind-Leading-The-Blind mentality going on and not alot of common sense happening. The phrase was agreed on by a few and now we're stuck with it.
Again, we'll have to use Show-don't-tell techiques to get people to want to learn more.

I'm not trying to be counterproductive. I'm trying to be a voice of reason. Sadly, it seems reason is in fairly short supply in the heat of battle.
I've already stopped posting to the other thread, and I'll cease posting to this one as well.

You still have my support and don't think for a moment that I would give up my Browncoat. I just think that sometimes one has to make a stand for what's right, and doing things that are counterproductive to our goal just don't seem right to me.

On the argument of a slogan --

It's not as if we're taking out a TV spot for the superbowl here. I think we can afford to have multiple slogans, just as the 'verse is associated with "Can't Take The Sky From Me" as well as "Can't Stop The Signal" and "The Future is Worth Fighting For". In the spirit of independence I think anyone who wants to start up a website for this, is more than welcome, and however they'd like to refer to it, well that's their business as well. I don't think we need a central alliance here, we're Browncoats. Ultimately, it's the date that matters, and we're all shooting for the same day with the same basic mission. How each individual browncoat wants to go about it should be welcomed. Just my thoughts.

All that said, my volunteering for the "offical" website seems silly. :P

Just my 2-cents on the slogan/signiture: I somewhat agree that the army analogy and use of the term Browncoats have limited use outside of the fandom. Perhaps something along these lines?

Thousands of fans.

I would support using "One day. One movie. Thousands of fans." when addressing the general public in press releases, letters to the editor, non-FF websites, etc. "On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave" should be included as well, IMO.

These initial stages will focus on rallying Browncoats, though, and I think that using FF-specific phrases will be more effective for that purpose.

BTW, I changed "show" to "movie" because the plan is for everyone to buy Serenity DVDs. People who are unfamiliar with the 'verse might get confused if the slogan does not convey the action that is being taken.

Also, there is a new thread about the June 23rd project: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=19910

The last line loses the "one" alliteration, and may detract from the call to action, which is to band together and buy the DVD or to hold charity screenings around the globe.

Tuesday, April 18, 2006 6:38 PM

okay, well i'd liek to think of myself as part of the "creative thinking" process and i saw nothing wrong with the following slogan:

One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

if one would knwo what a browncoat is, they'd have a good idea that it has to do with our 'verse and would make their decision there if they would want to get further information.

If one doesn't knwo what a browncoat is, this statements makes no sense to them other that there is a plan to do somthing on one particular day, which creates curiosity.

That's my rationale why I think this would be the correct phrase. While the word "fan" and "browncoat" isn't much of a change in the statement, "browncoat" is more distinctive and doesn't lead to any obvious conclusions, while "fan" certainly does, just not to what kind of fan.

we can break this appart but my question is, how much of an impact do you suppose will changing the slogan change? It doesn't seem like much. ANd to be honest, we're targeting browncoats here, not non-browncoats. We want people to know that it's for the firefly series, not have to wonder what the bloody hell the person is refering to.

just my .02

and as far as multiple "visuals" well, we're going to have to be more specific than that. We already designated that detailed flash banners are too much to load for people on dialup connections so we're keeping it plain, simple and direct.

i'm glad people are steping up though, we have 2 months and we can't waste time on ideas that the majority don't like.

Just a side note: my friend is home from indiana for the week and I have off work for the next three days. I should be checking in but just in case, i may be M.I.A. untill friday.

The slogan needs to remain the same. I think too many people have gone forward with this idea and to begin to get creative in that regard could cause more problems then not.

I like one army of browncoats...it sums up what everybody is. Thousands? This does not indicate a large base for me..it could be any number. Coming together as fans is what this day is going to be about. So One Army of Browncoats seems most appropriate.

, then? The "plan" part is because the post that quote is from was supposed to put the emphasis on the fact that there were too many plans by too many people around. As a slogan for the "outside", "mission" is better, I think.
I'm not gonna change my sig until someone decides already, though, since it will only create confusion if there's too many versions.

Humpty-te-tum.

The debate just keeps rolling. I LOVE IT!! I love everyone's $0.02. I love that there are yet more newbies getting excited and enthused and passionate and ACTIVE.

I have to say, I kinda like the 'Thousands of fans'. It may lose the alliterative impact, but

(a)it could perhaps help to settle the discomfort some have with the potentially militant interpretations of the language used.
(SameErtia! Don't leave us! We need all inputs!)

(b)For me, it helps to convey the huge diversity of fans out there. Rather than one homogenous group, there are people out there with massively differing and intelligent views. It's one cause. It's a whole world of people. If you want an analogy, it's much like the crew of a certain little spaceship I could mention...

My oh my, you can tell today was a dissertation day. Such big words.

Maxrimstain...where have you gone to, my lovely? Could we set up a vote on this one too? And then at least it can be called a democratic decision.

This is a mission born out of love, peeps. Don't forget it.

That's nice and all, but we are not here because of the things in which we differ, but the one we have in common.
"Army" sounds more determined than "thousands", because the latter implies just what you say... differing views. Well, our views may differ on a great many things, but not the one that matters for this - we all want the continuation of Firefly.
Besides, Universal doesn't care about massively differing and intelligent views, they want a faceless mass buying what they're selling.

Okay, maybe it is just me, but there seems to be a lot more focus & debate on wording and sigs than anything else right now. I know we need to be unified in our slogans and all, but are we losing sight of what we are trying to do?

We could be, Browncoat1, but I don't think so at this point still.

There is so much debate because we ARE Browncoats I think... we're an ornery bunch, given to thinking our own way. Which under normal circumstances is a good thing.. but this is a time for coming together. We need to decide on this slogans and this name for this day and get on with it. I for one have looked at the task I have in front of me and it is a mighty big task, and I want to do it right... because I want my shiny ship and crew to come back to us all and I want to do right by my fellow Browncoats.

I've stayed out of the debate so far, not wanting to muddy the waters further, waiting until I saw some consesus... instead I've seen increasing measures of non-love on the board.. and that's not usual for this place... this is one of the friendliest places I know. Sadly, the last week, it's grown a little strained. Now, I know the process is always hard... but it's been some time now... I think it's time to come together behind the folks doing the leading and get busy.

There has been much debate about the "army of Browncoats" part of the sig. I am so proud to be a member of "the army of Browncoats". We took the name from the army that Mal fought so bravely with. Joss named them that. This gives us a feeling of unity and being a part of a brave fight. We use the military analogies around here all the time, with our encouragement to each other to hold the line, and to stand firm. I think it's appropriate to continue this. It unifies us when we have to do a "mission" like this. For that is what it is... a mission. The plan has been hatched, we need to start the mission stage.

Well, I've gone on long enough, I think I've made my 2 cents clear...

I am behind the leaders of this mission with all my strength and my heart. I am also in support of the use of the sig that says

One day
One mission
One army of Browncoats

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave!

I also think that fireflyday has won with a resounding victory in the votes, much to my dismay as a matter of fact.. as I thought it ought to be tied to the movie and to our beloved ship's name. But I will go with the vote.

So I've written a book here. Didn't mean to, but thought I ought to mix in this too.

One day.

Well said FM.

I've been out in the black and just gettin back to the verse. Started reading' up on this 'nitiative yesterday (on the old thread) and continued to this one today. And for the most part there are warm and fuzzies abounding, although the not so warm and fuzzies that exist are jarring. We're all on the same track, just some is stubbing toes while walking on the ties!

That being said, we are the army of browncoats. There are upwards of 20,000 of us on this one site alone. We have the numbers, we have the one purpose. I think it's extremely shiny that we're doing this. I also think since we're asking the browncoats to participate in this, the wording of the sig is appropriate. We are trying to reach browncoats with this message, not joe what's your name. We'll reach him after we get our new copies of the movie!!

I want to help because I believe in the goal - we can get more of our BDH's. How will i do that??? Buy DVD's and help ensure the preplanning for a charity screening here in Ottawa DOES in fact happen. Oh, and maybe make use of 11th hours fantastic gorilla marketing posters, with overlay of Charity event info! (if' she's okay with that??)

my .02 on name of day = how'bout de-unification day. I'd like to undo what the alliance did!! All kididng aside, any of the proposed names would do.
As for writing a book FM - heck, you t'wern't even close! JBW

I've been casually lurking, visiting this site every few months. Then I rented serenity on a whim and it got me really excited about the whole firefly universe again, but also sad because I knew there wasn't any firefly stories left to see, and prospect of a new series with dead characters is disheartening.

So I checked this site again, and what are the odds, its a day after this original post. O_o!

So yeah, I'll be buying serenity&firefly June23 off amazon, and I'll try to get involved with whatever flash skills I have.

If anyone else is lurking, just post and say hi, visable support can snowball.

As for names, I like the name Fireflyday because it rolls off the tounge so much more easily than anything else I've seen.

Will there eventually be a giant "June23, etc." static link blatently obvious at the top of this site? As it stands, one really have to hunt for this thread and any info reguarding June23 right now.

And if theres 20k people here, why are there so few votes on http://www.straightfromthehorsesmouth.co.uk/firefly/ ?
June23 needs more advertising, even if its just giant static text, it'll work just fine :)

Well yeah, when the votes are that heavily weighted for "Firefly Day", then that seems like the fans have spoken. But I'm still scratchin' my head over it. We're pushing to buy truckloads of the "Serenity" DVD, but it's called "Firefly Day"? Honestly, it does tend to confuse... but, oh well...

Of all the different combinations, this one seems the best. "Mission" does describe our endeavor and is a very activated word.

Joss is Boss.

"Army" does go together with "Browncoat", just like healthsome apples goes together with some kind of protein cheese food substance.

As for folks concerned about the whole "browncoats" and "brownshirts" association, this should be able to be avoided because our promotional materials will have Sci-Fi/Westerny imagery on it. So NO swastikas people!!!

Actually what I posted was that "Browncoat Day" was already taken. It's December 9th, the day the Firefly DVD was released.

I think someone got the words a little confuzzled. But Agatsu, I do appreciate that you stepped up to defend the name of the day!

As far as I know, "Firefly Day" was not officially designated by the fans yet. But it may have been... this campaign hasn't really reached other message boards in a big way yet. Those folks also didn't vote on the name of the day.

But I still don't get why so many people want to use "Firefly Day" as the name to mark the day we all push to buy "Serenity". Really, shouldn't we save "Firefly Day" for when we something that's really centered around Firefly?

I know a lot of fans had resistance to the word "Serenity" because it's a very misleading word to new folk. But our plans include flyers and banners and the images connected with "Serenity" would be our gorgeous cast, Sci-Fi/Western, and probably lots of pics of Serenity flying in space. So people would see the unsual combination and it would get their curiosity going.

People may not all agree that "Serenity" is a good name for the movie, promotion-wise, because the word does not say "Futuristic Adventure Story"... but like it or not, it IS the title of the movie and should be dominating our promotion. We can't dance around the subject that Serenity is a misleading name, we gotta keep putting it out there SO PEOPLE KNOW WHICH DVD TO BUY.

I know the votes are in, I don't really want to cause strife or nothin'. But if we don't want to come off sounding a bit amateurish in our promotion campaign, we really should name the day after the DVD we are pushing so hard to get known.

Otherwise, if the media does pick up on the story... I can tell you right now, THOSE writers are going to snicker a bit over how the name of the day and the DVD we're promoting don't match. We fans could end up looking like we didn't think the name of the day through well enough.

********************************

Calling it "Firefly Day" when the whole thing is about buying "Serenity" could end up causing us embarassment. We're going to be pouring all kinds of time and energy into this promotion... we may be shooting ourselves in the foot to have a contradictory name.

********************************

Okay, I've said it... but it was said with love...

Serenity Day makes perfect sense to me.

But it's gotta be decided because there are tons of people working on flyers/avatars/banners who need an answer.

Now, I ain't a dictator, and this is why I went with Firefly Day. If you all want Serenity Day, then I'll go with that. Making a new thread for people to vote... Since Max isn't here for us to use his nice voting software. (I'm so computerally inept.)

What 11thHour said. And, my take is:

I think the way to go is with the url that echoes what we're doing. Buy the SerenityDVD on June 23rd. Same message for Browncoat and the new fan driven there by curiosity.

It's easier to remember for the non-initiated.

www.serenityJune23.com

Wins my vote.

-Hera

EDIT: also, thinking long term, if fireflyday is taken by us, what if some future initiative, doing something Firefly-centric, could have made better use of that URL, marketing-wise? Us using SerenityJune23 opens up the opportunity for us continuing to use this URL to drum up support for the third movie, etc

So...is June23 about promoting sequel to Serenity? Or is it about getting Firefly back on the air? Why would you want another movie, when the Half-season of Firefly was so much better...not to mention longer...than Serenity.

I originally thought the people here were pushing for the purchase of the Serenity DVD because it would be cheaper and more reasonable than asking people to buy a season of the TV show. Then I looked it up and the season is only $25....

This entire effort seems to be focused on getting another movie made. I thought we were fans of the show? Movies are great, but they are few and far between. Why are you pushing for a 2nd movie, am I missing something?

DEWRASTLER

Wednesday, April 19, 2006 9:10 PM

It's because right now Universal owns the rights to the 'verse. No TV show can be made without them, and if they were to make anything it would be a sequel. Purchasing the series on DVD is great, but it gives nothing to Universal. Therefore we need to send our cashy money their direction by buying the BDM in order to turn some heads. Hope that cleared it up.

Don't they own the Sci-Fi channel, as well? So technically, they COULD do a new series.
If nothing else, we'll get a fun and exciting day out of it. If we're lucky, we get an extended special edition with more commentaries and goodies or something. If we're the luckiest bastards in the 'verse, we get another movie or even a series.

I do agree that a Firefly series would give us so much more to enjoy. But this push to buy the Serenity DVD will demonstrate the active fan base.

When Universal sees that there's still a big, and growing, audience out there for Firefly/Serenity, it'll be a sound business decision to make more. However, it doesn't mean the next incarnation has to be a movie. As already mentioned, Universal owns the Sci-Fi channel, they could very well decide to produce a series or mini-series.

As to 20th Century Fox owning the television rights... well there's good news from them. They're finally realizing that the fans are out there and they are officially licensing merchandise. The Firefly Official Companion books are being produced and that's an excellent indication of faith in Firefly.

Who knows? Maybe Universal and 20th Century Fox could work out a joint venture that allows Firefly to return to TV? When there's money to be made, studios find a way to work things out!

Malnourished, there's a poll in another thread about the name of this day (Firefly vs. Serenity). Is there any chance you could collect the different propositions for the signature and have a vote on that as well? It might go easier with some kind of voting website like they do in the caption contests, but I don't know much about that. There's some disagreement on this, and I think it would help settle the issue once and for all. (I've got the sig Kaele put in the OP, but I'm not 100% ok with it.)

Right so, I had this idea. I had started a thread but no one responded Anyway. You know those postcards with the sticky fronts so you can stick pictures on them. Well, we could stick Serenity Day posters on them and send them to random people with what Serenity Day is about typed on the back.

This is something everyone could do if there was a specific poster and letter we could put on the back.

We could also send this to the cast. It would be interesting to see if they started helping.

Just a thought.

I was going to buy the HD-DVD but I am waiting till SD to get it. Also I hooked a few friends on it and we are waiting till the 23rd to get their copies of Serenity (HD/DVD) and Firefly.

I have a signature?

Where are we on development of a logo, banner selection, etc?

I'm trying to link to all pertinent information from Jaynebunk.

I also noticed that a google search for Serenity Day mostly comes up with day spas. We need to keep clicking those Serenity links that lead to Serenity related stuff to raise us up in the listing.

The logo should be just about done:

I don't know about the banners, though.

I tried googling Serenity Day just now, and we're at 4th place behind some spas. Don't worry about that, we'll come up number one soon enough.

I am very new here, but I am a dedicated browncoat nonetheless. I want to help with Serenity/Firefly/Re-Unification Day, whatever it is called, June 23rd. I have a bunch of spare time on my hands. I cannot program too well, and am no good with graphics, but I still want to help, if I can. You can contact me on here or at jimi.spettel@gmail.com if there is anything at all that I can do to assist.

Thanks, Jimi.
If you look down the topics list, you'll see a call for volunteers to help spread the word. Check it out and enlist!
Nothing needed except a computer and spare time.

My computer skills are limited(not to mention my computer itself) but I mentioned it in several chatrooms and also printed the flyer and hung it in the local comic shops and book stores. If there is anything else I can do, someone let me know.

hum, I feel a bit out of the loop here in Norway, and I feel like I can't very well boost a screening here in Trondheim as I'm travelling abroad that day, but I do have a friend who works at the movies and maybe he can pull some strings for other browncoats.

I will spread the word and I suppose ordering the DVD's from play.com also counts for something on that special day. I already feel mighty.

Also I will get my boyfriend on board, he makes daily comic strips in one of Norways biggest newspapers:

I am sure he can make something good for June 23rd!!

Keep up the good work!!! You're all my kind of stupid.

I like it! Not only am I finding every browncoat I know but I am posting it as all my signatures on all the message boards I am on.

Regretabbly I will be on vacation without an Internet connection (tear) however I will have someone still go out and purchase it for me on that day (Serenity HD-DVD).

YAY!

Hey, gang! Just a BIG reminder to those who are posting that they're spreading the word across bulletin boards and stuff- It's great that you're enthusiastic and gettin people involved. That's what we need.
But we also need to be coordinated. Too many people showing up at random sites and saying "Serenity DaY" is going to look like spam and make some people unhappy!

Spam Job: ZISKER has volunteered for this mission.

Actually, if you wish to volunteer please visit: http://www.geocities.com/browncoatsignalcorps

If you're posting to non-Browncoat related sites, we should coordinate that as well.

Kaele?
Should we start a thread for that?
Or I could just ask people to post at the Jaynesbunk corkboard where they've spread the word so far?
What do you think?
