I was gone for 3 days, and when i get back it seems that every one is in a bad mood. I was reading some threads and i think that some browncoats are getting really angery because 2 different events have been scheduled on the same day, isn't this a good thing? If universal sees a spike in dvd sales and charity screenings on the same day wouldn't it make them think about serenity more? Apperently some poeple think this is a bad thing. I have also seen some threads asking if serenity day should be moved to a later date. This would be a good idea, i my self would not be able contribute during June 23 (i'm going to be in D.C.) a later date would let us get the word out to more poeple (but for poeple who do not check the forums very offten this would be extremely confusing). I still don't think that i really know what's going on, could someone please tell me?

FlamingFly.

Please don't bring this up again. Shhhhhhhh! We need to calm the beast.

In a nutshell HE WHO WILL NOT BE NAMED had a hissy, some here too exception to his wording - cause they was fightin words. Some backed him up, some didn't - they all started to argue and now everyone is makin a fuss.

Followmal is upset, and that means lots of choclate eating. 11th hour is trying to make some understand and they don't wanna understand and I am just sittin in the corner with my bruised toe NOT bathing in the chocolate.

And so now we all need to have a group hug and try to plan our Summer of Serenity.\

And that is NOT backing down people. That is getting tired of the crap that is not helping and getting on with whats important.

Whew.

Welcome back though. We need more hands.

One summer.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.

And a bunch of Rings that make Shiny people do silly things!

Starting June 23rd, we aim to misbehave!

We don't know yet, they are STILL arguing about it over there, which is why I am over here and at some point Kaele will let us know.

Personnally? I am buying on the 30th and just doin everything I can to recruit from now til then.

I aim to misbehave - original ain't I-

I think you have to sort out the romantic ones. Yes, I said it - the "R" word. We are all just a bunch of sloppy arse romantics. Pick those out and soon they will be talkin YOUR ear off about the 'verse.

I voluntarily have missed most of the last couple days of the arguing as it was just giving me a headache, especially as I'm trying to be good and not make snarky comments that my brain so wants me to. I gave my opinion, and then buggered off to the dance par-tay, where it's much nicer to be having ultimately decided to be true to my online roots. Avoid possible flame wars by blythly ignoring them and finding fun things to do instead. Give comfort to those who need it. Basically, be kind, thoughtful and somewhat clueless.

I figure I'll wait 'til the dust settles and then see what the actual plan is. 'Til then... *boogie**boogie**dance**dance*

just tell them there is gore near the end - that'll get them to stay till at least you know who gets a you know what through the you know where, and by that time - arse will be getting kicked....they will stick around.

Or if it was a significant other you were trying to recruit....you could withhold sex.

When in doubt, do without.

ohh Good idea!Pity I havent got a significant other tho.
Couldnt hurt to give it a go.



Yeah they seem almost as obsessed with some of the shows thats being aired atm for example: Australias Biggest Loser and Big Brother (6 i think it is)
I presonally think its a little sad (no offense to people who like those shows) but why spend time watching that sort of thing when you can go out side and practically see it yourself.

(((((Hugs for all)))))
No sobbing, FMF. We know it's just a reaction to breaking your toe off. (How is it, BTW? Lovely drugs?)

To all who are wondering WTF is going on, so am I, and I was gone only *one* day. There's no time to read through the threads (I tried) and it's kinda lacerating when one tries.

It'll work out, no worry. Just keep supporting and spreading as possible.

No way you can't be a reality fan and love SereniFly, too. I watch one of those and am part of a board and all, but it goes way back to 2000, well pre-'Fly. Those people tore themselves and each other and the board in shreds at one point, but it was mended.

Go to the end of the BDM. River says the storms's getting worse, and Mal says, "We'll pass through it soon enough." Always, *always* brings a tear or two.

Love keeps her in the air......makes her a home.

I think I also missed only one day. Probably not even a whole day. When I went to bed one night the 'verse was a happy place, and the next evening I saw the Change the Day thread with +100 posts and found the I Need a Hug and Danceparty threads. Wha...? Sounds like the arguement started on another board and oozed over here, but I don't really care to read past the third or fourth post. I don't know what's going on, but I want to go to a charity screening (Serenity Now?) and then buy a DVD on whatever date is eventually decided (Serenity Day?). It's a good think I didn't start printing fliers or something!

I'm personally deciding to follow the example of the smarter vets around here and have a Summer of Serenity and buy the DVD on both days, if I can. There's a screening scheduled for June 23rd in Boston and I'm going to go to that. If people start an advertising campaign I'll join in with gusto. Until then, I'm sticking around the Slip and Slide and Dance Partay and let those people get all mixed up in their undue fussin'. I'm conjurin' they'll go for Summer of Serenity anyway!

In the meantime, I'm gonna go back to the Partay and try my hardest not to get all worked up over it! In the end, anything we do helps the cause, no matter when we do it, right? Right?

New to the 'verse but ready and more than willing to learn.

You think you've got it bad? I was off the site for less than twenty four hours, and they've voted in a new leader. Not that I have anything against 11th hour (on the contrary, I'm a big fan of her artwork), it's just a bit of a shock, you know? I hope that people can generally come to a consensus about all of this, or else there's going to be a gigantic blowout.

DeepGirl187,

I don't think anyone has voted in a new leader... Kaele is still doing her thing..

I think if you'll read the thread 11th Hour has been appointed head of anything fff.net does and has made herself Queen of All...

I think at this point it's a nice silly prank... but I suppose if Kaele does her 23rd thing and everyone wants to do a nice shiny 30th of September including the Summer of Serenity thing with 11th Hour that'd be shiny too.

I think it's an attempt at being lighthearted and silly... kind of evens out the not so shiny for a little while.. we are all feelin' it. But democracy is hard. I'm guessin' that the soldiers in Serenity Valley thought that staying there was getting too hard.. but their independence and self government was worth doing it for. Right is right, after all.....

Anyway, I think 11th Hour is purty in her cat suit.. and I mean that in a not sly way. She's cute! Doesn't that qualify her to be a leader?
( please tell me you will laugh.. it's a joke!)

*Hugs for all*

'Course, the silver lining to all this:

All these threads popping up, and the confusion, is just a symptom of the Browncoat movement gaining momentum again. The vets here have done the impossible once before, and what drew me online looking for the 'coats after getting hooked on the 'verse was a powerful need to help out in any small way I could.

Behind all this muddledness is the fact that once all this settles down we'll all have some clear goals to work for. Right now everyone's just trying to settle on just what those are going to be :)

Anyways, like FloralBunny said: remember Mal's words at the end of the BDM. Storm's getting worse, but "We'll pass through it soon enough."

Random question: does anybody know from which episode came that pic of Kaylee laying on the bench with Simon and he's got his arms around her?

That's how I felt, so I stayed away for a few days and tried to keep my head down when I got back.

Glad things seem shinier again (people are laughing and joking once again, and FMF got chocolate all over me... http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=20217#294253) Plus I do think I've seen more strawberries doing the rounds....shiny!

[EDIT: Just added in that link coz otherwise it just sounds like crazy talk....]

I do agree, we're passing through a storm (every family has them, as we all know) and I think things'll be shiny again soon.

For the record, I'm gonna support both the 23rd and the 30th by DVD buying and going to any charity screening, if I can - I'm having my summer of Serenity (not that I ever stopped!)



- Shiny. Let's be bad guys.

Thanks, FollowMal! As soon as I can force my mother to lend me the credit card to order the DVD sets (cause she owes me that much cashy money anyway...) I can't wait to see it!!

It does seem like things are calming down. It's like when my older sister and I fight...first we hate each other for awhile...but when you have to live that closely to someone (and we in the 'verse live pretty close in Firefly spirit if not physically) you learn to just compromise and forget it. Anybody know what's officially going on now, or is it still just a big muddle? (Too scared to actually go in there and sort through all of those posts.... )
