HEADLINE: Fervent Fans Flock To Firefly

Lightning seems to have struck twice for Joss Whedon. The creator of the immensely popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a new show gaining a wide base of devoted fans. Firefly, a quirky, well-wrought space western, has become an immediate hit with viewers across America, and has already spawned a campaign to keep the show on the air.

The Firefly: Immediate Assistance campaign was formed on October 25 to show support for the FOX show. Excited by the news that FOX had requested an additional three scripts, fans wanted to show their appreciation to both FOX and the sponsors. Kimberly Hirsh, owner and manager of JossWhedon.net, organized the campaign to coordinate the voices of Firefly supporters.

“Our objective is to show Fox how much fans of science fiction, Joss Whedon and Firefly itself appreciate the show,” said a statement on the group’s Web site. “We want to encourage Fox to continue showing Firefly. Consider this a very big thank you.”

In it’s first week, Firefly: Immediate Assistance has collected over 3,300 signatures in an online petition, and hopes to gain another 2,000 by November 7. The campaign has also prompted members to send over a hundred postcards to FOX and to the companies that advertise during the Friday night show.

Kai Cole, Whedon’s wife, is grateful for the fans’ efforts. “I thank you, Joss thanks you, and Firefly thanks you,” she said, in a message to Hirsh.

Christopher Buchanan, the president of Firefly’s production company, Mutant Enemy, also sent his thanks. “We really appreciate all the support. It’s so hard to focus on the ratings, politics, marketing, and promotion when we are just trying to make the show the best it can be!”

Firefly can be seen on FOX, Friday nights at 8:00 ET. More information is available at www.fireflysupport.com.
