What I'm struck by is that Allyson's book is already the subject of an academic paper, even before it's out. I expect dissertations eventually.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?
'Objects In Space'
Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Hee. To be clear, I think the quotes they use from you are fine in that article, Allyson, because you are, in my opinion at least, right.
It took me several attempts to watch "Done The Impossible" all the way through, and it still makes me a little crazy that a movie studio's marketing department have actually written history. Everybody thinks a fan marketing campaign lead to Serenity. In reality, I don't remember fans even asking for a movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That Allyson. She's so greedy. Wanting money when the Done The Impossible folks are contributing to charity.

An artificially created mind set seems to be keeping the fandom together more than anything else at the moment. Plus it helps strengthen the "them against us" mentality (in regards to other fandoms) that is becoming more and more prevalent. I thought phrases like 'We hold', 'The Cap'n says' and 'We are mighty' were kinda cute at the beginning. Not so much these days.

What is even happening?
Yeah, now they're a little sad.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yeah, you know, I love the show a lot, and I was crushed when it was cancelled, but... it's been years. It's over. They've moved on to other things. It's time to stop stalking it and go find a new girlfriend.

Like, for instance, TV's hit, Drive.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That's a good point, ita. Maybe I should do something for charity, someday.

Don't go to any trouble, though, Allyson.

Zenkitty made me snort rudely.
