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.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What is even happening?
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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.

Not arguing that the fans brought Serenity to screen, but...
Universal had Serenity in production long before the Firefly DVDs even came out.
Huh? Did they had it in production before there was an official announcement that it was greenlit?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Pretty much. They had the script being written long before, but the picture went to their marketing department way back in 2003. Serenitymovie.com was regged before Firefly was even out on DeeVeeDee. When it was officially greenlit, they already had all the budgets etc set, which was because they'd spent donkies workin' on it.
