Fans of the new Fox show Firefly are putting their money where their mouths are.
In an effort to raise funds for a campaign to save the show, fans are bidding for Firefly collectibles on eBay.Fans and collectors can bid on shooting scripts from Firefly episodes, a T-shirt available only to cast and crew members, and other collectibles. Links to the auctions can be found at www.fireflysupport.com. Proceeds from the auctions will be used by the “Firefly: Immediate Assistance” campaign to purchase a full-page ad in Variety. Campaign organizers hope the ad will get the attention of Fox executives and let them know that the sci-fi/western has a large, devoted audience. Their goal is to raise $3,000 before Dec. 2.
The campaign was formed to support the 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.
