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.
Everybody thinks a fan marketing campaign lead to Serenity.
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.
Yeah, now they're a little sad.
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.
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.
That was the only part that pinged me. Kicked me right in the teeth.
Well yeah, because the writer took what was a wise crack and made it sound like you were trying to make money off the campaign. After all the money you've raised for fandom charity campaigns, I hope you can just remember how stupid that person looks to anyone who knows the truth.
Making money off the campaign, or making money off the book? Odds are you're going to get flack from the fandom in general, and your visibility will likely result in some scrutiny. Stuff will get twisted. But I wouldn't worry about it.
