Arright, crew!

It's been about two weeks since y'all last heard from me - I've been relocated. But times' a'wastin', so here we go once again. Time for a roll-call! The previous roster has been STRIPPED. We are starting anew, to ensure that our crew are dedicated n' active participants on this 'ere ship.

Since we are doing away with the previous method of submission, there are no longer "Shepherds" and "Big Damn Heros." We will start with Crew at the present time: in the future, I hope to establish a points system that rewards contribution and activity with more advanced titles, duties, capabilities and the like.

I have been receiving some messages from folks asking to be members. From these and the amount of responses to the last journal, I'm assuming that our fan base is going to be fairly small to start with.

If you would like to be Crew, PLEASE RESPOND IN A COMMENT TO THIS JOURNAL.

Include whatever alias you prefer to go by, even if it is different from your Deviantart username. I would use Pwnie, because it is both my account name and my alias. Someone with the username SprinkleGreenCupcake213 might use the alias "Sprinkles," or even their real name, like "Kristin"

If you feel inclined, please also leave your gender. This is optional information, but it helps me get an idea of the groups' demographics.

Messages asking to join the club will be ignored. Improper comments will be instructed to re-read the admission information. :)

Thanks.

Pwnie.

Hello hello. My name is Pwnie, and I will be commandeerin' this bird from here on out!

Much, much thanks go to mrpaco for making her what she is, for rounding up such a fit crew and for keeping her in workin' order. 'Course, she ain't seen much action for going on a year now, and I aim to change that!

If you're interested in remaining aboard, please read all of this entry. There will be drastic changes going on here in the coming weeks. Please bear with us. Expect the following:

- Rules change.

- New, re-evaluated roster.

- Grand re-opening contest, with prizes.

- Deviations will now be favorited instead of submitted by individual users. This is to prevent the club account from receiving favorites that are owed to the artists themselves.

You may have noticed that the password has been changed. This is to expedite the process: make things run smoother and more efficient. As mentioned above, the submission process will change. The account has been flooded with favorites: I don't have time to read through them all, nor do those favorites belong to me. I will now favorite Firefly-related works, as well as take suggestions.

However, new submissions will be put on hiatus until things are organized around here.

The first change we will undertake is the revamping of the member list. In the near future, there will be a call for you to restate your membership in order to prove activity. Expect this in the next few days.

For now, I will be cleaning out the gallery (and previous journal entires) and updating the favorites. If one of your pieces or personal favorites disappears, please be patient. There will be a time in the near future for you to request that the piece be favorited.

I believe you're all just as dedicated as I am, and I ask for your support as these changes take place. Firefly has a huge fanbase, and deserves a well-kept arena for it here on Deviantart. I promise I will provide that for you, if you give back to this community in return.

Please post comments, concerns, suggestions or wishes!

Sincerely, your new first-in-command,
Pwnie.

Welcome, one and all, to the (unofficial) Firefly fan club! This is where all you deviantART users - who also moonlight as Browncoats - can come together to talk, draw, write, CG, whatever else you're in the mood for, about Joss Whedon's ill-fated-but-amazing series Firefly and its no-longer-upcoming movie, Serenity.

==========================
NEWS:</u>

12-17-2006

Well folks, I hope you're all gearing up for a shiny holiday...but I've got a bit of a predicament. I just wanted to see if anyone was interested in taking the reins from me on this club. See, I didn't really DO a whole mess of stuff for this club in the first place...you folks pretty much submit your own art and keep it runnin' smooth enough on its own. And now college's started, well, I'm afraid I might do even less. So, anyone interested in becoming cap'n? If not, don't worry...the club's not closing or anything. It'll just be sparsely updated is all.

==========================

Here's an idea...if you want people to comment directly on your work (meaning the one that you uploaded with YOUR account) instead of the one that you uploaded here, you can set the deviation to reject comments as you go through the upload process. Then, just be sure to make the link to your original work very clearly visible!

:iconrapsody: told me about this shiny site that's trying to get Firefly season 2 produced off-network. Give them some support! www.fireflyseason2.com/index.a…

Okay, I already put this in the rules, but I'll say it again. DO NOT SEND NOTES TO THIS ACCOUNT. Send notes to :iconmrpaco: and I'll actually respond to them in a reasonable amount of time. Notes that are sent here will simply fester in my inbox, and we don't want festerin' around here, do we?

Also: do not comment/fav these deviations. Instead, follow the link to the ORIGINAL deviation, and comment/fav that one. That way, the real artist gets the praise he or she deserves.

Just a friendly reminder from your ol' captain:

Big Damn Heroes - when you post some artwork using the club account, be sure to put your icon into the description, so people know who they're complimentin'. It's also convenient if you put a link to the deviation on YOUR page, but not necessary.

To put your icon into the description, type this:

:icon SCREENNAME:

But replace "SCREENNAME" with your account name, and get rid of the space between "icon" and your name.

EXAMPLE: I am mrpaco. In order to post my icon, I would say :icon mrpaco:, but eliminate the space, which would give me :iconmrpaco:.

Get it? Got it? Good.

Things that are Interestin':
:bulletblue: The Real (replica) Browncoat - For those of you with several hundred dollars lying around, this site sells a high-quality replica of the Browncoat. - www.abbyshot.com/products/ps-f…
:bulletblue: The Zoe Vest - The same site sells a high-quality replica of Zoe's vest! - www.abbyshot.com/products/ps-z…
:bulletblue: Blue Sun Shirts - I've got a khaki Blue Sun t-shirt from this site, and lemme tell you, it's excellent quality. I'm lookin' into buying a Fighting Elves shirt next - www.bluesunshirts.com/
:bulletblue: Serenity model - soon to be released -www.monstersinmotion.com/catal…
:bulletblue: Jayne pin-up girl t-shirt - A great and accurate Jayne shirt, printed up by a very accomodating fan. Highly recommended! - www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp…
:bulletblue: Firefly Season 2 - A noble endeavor indeed! Give 'em a holler. - www.fireflyseason2.com/index.a…
:bulletblue: The REAL real Browncoat - Made by the original designer, but it costs a pretty penny. - jonathanalogan.com/haveflash.h…

==========================

If you'd like to join, there are two options available.

One, the Big Damn Hero, is the advanced choice. Obviously, being a Big Damn Hero involves putting everything you've got into what you're fighting for - or, perhaps, being an active member of a community, by contributing fanart, fanfiction, or the like.

Second, the Shepherd, is the more lenient choice. Most Shepherds in the 'verse are peace-loving people, and many lead relatively simple lives in a monastery - or, if they're part of any other community, they'll be less active than most, sticking around simply to talk to people with similar interests.

If we've got any takers out there, just send me (that is, mrpaco - notes to the group account might not be read for a while. :P ) a wave with the subject "Firefly-Fans Join," and be sure to tell me which you'd like to be - a Big Damn Hero or a Shepherd. If you're a BDH, you get the club password, so you can submit deviations with this account. Shepherds, being the less-active members, will not get the password.

RULES:

I know it sucks, but if you wrong us, you must be punished. Here's how it is:

1. You have watched Firefly, and severely enjoyed it.
2. You have watched Serenity, and (probably) enjoyed that, too.
3. You put this club's icon in your signature and/or journal, to help spread the word.
4. Don't abuse the password. That means that if you are a BDH, you must...
a. Eventually post SOME sort of fan-stuff.
b. Sign out IMMEDIATELY after you're done posting your deviation(s). That way, you won't forget about it and accidentally leave a bunch of comments or favs with the Firefly-Fans account.
c. NOT comment or fav using Firefly-Fans. That's a no-no. (See above, genius)
d. NOT update the journal - that's only for moderators.
e. NO PLAGARISM, obviously.

==========================

Well, enjoy the club...keep flyin'!
