Hey all,

I've lurked here for a while, but as an avid fan wanted to get a piece in the campus paper about CSTS08. Despite pretty heavy editing, I think its shiny, but I'm biased. If you would like to check it out, please do - keep flying!

That's a great piece. Well written.

The only detail I might point out is this line:

Quote:
For the past three years, around his birthday, Whedon has sponsored a charity showing of the film Serenity, his spin-off of Firefly, to raise money for Equality Now.

Joss Whedon was never involved with the Can't Stop the Serenity movement. It was completely fan created and operated.
He did post a thank you on Whedonesque after the first screenings in 2006.
Still, as a third year organizer for CSTS, I love to see it get good press.
Thanks for the article. I hope you enjoyed your local screening.

Thanks for the feedback - and the correction! I didn't realize CSTS was 100% fan generated, and here I was thinking I couldn't possibly be more proud of my fellows!

They can't take the sky from us!

I also cross-posted it over at the Can't Stop the Serenity website. ( www.cantstoptheserenity.com)
They have a section for press coverage. And your article may appear in a university publication but it's still journalism. And folks over there love to hear good things about their little movement.
