Remember we don't want to do anything to hurt Joss. A Hollywood insider explained to the last person who started raising money that it could scare Hollywood away from Joss if fans started raising money. All the money was returned by the way. Let's see how Joss decides to make his investment back from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. If he puts a donate button up...well...we know what to do with that...don't we. http://doctorhorrible.net Official Fansite http://drhorrible.com Official website

It's not that I don't think we can do this - I believe. But I forsee a lot of challenges and stall outs on the way. So somethings to think about. A lot of people have made the point that all of our BDH have moved on and are into new projects now, as is Joss himself. Are we willing to watch a new Firefly with a new cast? Or new characters? Also, I read in another thread that each episode of Firefly cost upwards of a million bucks EACH to make. That's gonna be a TON of cash for us to raise, per episode. I was thinking, maybe we could get Joss' permission just to officially 'play' in his 'verse. Not deal with the crew of the Serenity, just to muck about in the worlds. After all, we've added a lot to his universe, haven't we? New characters, speculations about worlds, theories about ships drives, and stuff like that. If Joss gave us a thumbs up, we could start with some short fan films. There are some brilliant writers on here - I've read the fan fic. So maybe we hold a little contest, vote on a few good scripts. We would need stories that were low on special effects, unless someone knows a brilliant special effects person just dying to donate their time! So, character driven stuff, maybe with fight scenes and/or gun battles. You know the drill. Then we could assign a script to a local group of Browncoats to produce: raise any funds they need locally, get people to volunteer time - I have a lot of experience with this, actually - both of my undergraduate degrees are in film and video production, so we could go into further detail later. Anyhow, we post these "officially sanctioned" 'verse based episodes on youtube, build up a fan base. Do what Browncoats do: raise a ruckus. Get people hooked. From there, we start moving our fan base to our official episode website. Using Joss' example, as our production value gets better, we start charging a small amount for downloads. Or for dvd bundles of all episodes. Or whatever. This money goes back into the productions - making new episodes. Basically, we become a little independent production house, focusing on these projects, and going straight to the net - avoiding networks altogether. With enough of a fan base, we could get some companies interested in promoting with us - more money equals better production value. As our episodes become more polished looking, it would be possible to bring back our heroes for guest appearances and stuff, unless, you know, they wer like "hey, I'm onboard, where's my bunk." Well, we would know what to do with that! That's in the long run. We would have to start slow, and learn on the way. And we would have to get Joss' ok. And I don't know what the odds are on that. Anyhow, just my thoughts. I'll leave you with one of my favorite fan videos of all time:
