Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
Me also. There's an interview with Joss fairly early on where he says Universal weren't even aware about the fan thing even existing.
Make no mistake: Uni used fans as a marketing tool. It gave them a great media pitch, and by giving the fans vague resources it gave them free advertising. And I have no problem with that -- they used me, for example, and I used them and had a fucking good time in the process.
What Cindy said. Joss was their motivation. Not Serenifly.
For those convention people, there's 4 Serenity conventions later this year. (Yes, that will go well).
There's a Serenity one in the UK in October, then Creation are running a Serenity convention in LA in October, and the same weekend there's a Serenity convention in Australia. Then the following weekend there's ANOTHER Serenity convention in LA (Starfury). Then a few weeks later there's the Browncoat Cruise.
And the Browncoat Ball is in Philly the last weekend of September.
Browncoat's are gonna be busy. Looks like I'm doing the second LA thing.
I'm currently listening to Ed Gerhard's Live album and missing Firefly quite a lot.
Just saw this on Steven Brust's livejournal, dated April 8:
In other news, I'm finishing up a last polish on the Firefly novel, after which I'll send it to my agent, and, presumably, some time after that I'll figure out how to publish it as fanfic. Those who know, hang on to your information for a little while.
Just got a notice that Serenity is on sale from NetFlix for $5.99: [link]
That cover art is So Much Better. And the commentary sounds promising. Thanks for the link, Daniel.
