I stumbled onto the Variety advert the other day online (it was linked in a random article). It's very pretty - I love it still. That advert is actually what made me investigate (ie find) the Firefly fandom, so it's all your fault Allyson and friends.
Also, there have been several times in the past year where either me or my friends have run into Joss in the UK randomly. Somebody contacted me a few days ago saying they'd had just ran into him on their street. Considering they met him in a museum a while ago in Scotland, it's now become the running joke that Joss is stalking them. That bastard. Stay off our land *shakes teacups*.
Also, no Serenity novels. I'm glad, really - although I liked the concept in theory, I know I would have ended up getting gradually more annoyed as I turned the pages, ending up burning them after page 20 when River resurrects Wash using a spork.
It's a magic spork. She bought it off eBay.
There is no spo... No, I can't do it.
This one gets me verklempt:

Firefly Reborn as Online Universe
Like Capt. Mal Reynolds stumbling in after a bar fight, the short-lived but much beloved sci-fi series Firefly will soon make an unexpected return, not as a TV show, but as a massively multiplayer online game.
Now that's shiny.
Multiverse, maker of a free MMO-creation platform, plans to announce Friday morning that it's struck a deal with Fox Licensing to turn the show into an MMORPG in the fashion of Star Wars Galaxies or Eve Online.
The "Browncoats," as Firefly's most devoted fans are known, have been campaigning to bring the show back almost since the moment it was canceled in late 2002. Now they'll get their wish, albeit in a new form.
"We see virtual worlds as an extraordinarily promising new entertainment medium," said Adam Kline, Fox Licensing's vice president of media enterprises in an e-mail. "We believe Multiverse can deliver an experience that will remain true to the original series, while enabling a whole new level of personal involvement for fans."

Before, article-writer, before it was canceled.
Those poor fans in Burbank. I wish I could help them, and I wish i could punch those Booster Events people in the face.
What happened to the fans in Burbank?
