I was going to say, the Quotables threads would be good places to start.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Was there ever a Firefly deathmatch?

I think, if anyone thinks they've got a good quote, they should send it to me any old how, as long as it's got speaker, show, and episode and I'll format it properly. Then, sometime early January, I'll figure out what I've got, add some more, and send it on to ita around end of January.
ita, in a word document or text doc or what?

Got it, thanks ita.
I don't think there was ever a firefly deathmatch.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ita, why don't you send me the file of Firefly quotes, then, and I will winnow it down.

It's in the spreadsheet I linked to above, Lee.

I don't think there was ever a firefly deathmatch.
I'd suggest waiting until firefly is actually dead.

I like the Firefly quotes (like Robin who is eternally wise), but I can see where if you don't get the context, not so much fun.
I feel qualmy about pruning the list though. I gues if someone submitted them, it feels presumptuous to cull without his or her input. Imagine if you all had submitted stuff. would you want a say in what stays and goes?

Coming back from way before...
I'm with Wolfram that we should wait to actually deathmatch Firefly. But IMO, a lot of the Firefly qoutes up there are good lines, but not necessarily great quotes. I'd like to whittle them down some.
Basically typing out loud here...
If we took, say, five or ten quotes from the file at a time, voted (or polled, since I hate to throw the word vote around here lightly) for the top half of however many in each group, and did that until we got to a number roughly comparable to the number of Buffy and Angel quotes in the file...would that work?
