Need Tickets to Serenity?

[desoto_hia873]

Write a six-word story (and you thought drabbles were hard) and win two tickets to the June 23rd preview of Serenity in Portland:

Check it out.

My first entry (you get three chances):

Universe beckons
Serenity crewmembers.
Shiny adventures.

That's a haiku. :-)

They should have just started out asking for haikus, because that really is going to be the best way to get a six word story out of people and have it make any sense.

Hope you win!!

I can't use the Portland tickets, of course, but there's a poster and keychain for the runner-up.

There are quite a few good ones:

"Firefly fought, Browncoats Bought, Serenity's Shot!" by Ryan

All by fr0g:

Serenity (Pilot):
Curse Patience’s sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Our Mrs. Reynolds:
Married life is its own special hell.

Out of Gas:
Should’ve fixed the compression coil, Mal.

Ariel:
Jayne thinks the money’s good enough.

Very clever, all. :-)

Wow! People really are getting pretty creative with it!

And d'oh! For some reason, I keep thinking you're in BC, not on the other side of the continent. Not sure why.

I did live in Vancouver briefly several years ago. Maybe I left some vibes behind. :-)

Nice icon!

Must be it!

Nice icon!

Thanks! I like yours too! I tried creating one, myself, but couldn't quite get it centered the way I wanted. I wound up snagging it off a Serenity fansite. Did you do yours yourself? I keep hoping I'll spontaneously develop the ability to do nice looking icons... but so far, eh. Aside from the "Funky" and "Geek" icons, none of them have ever turned out exactly like I want them.

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

I did make mine. I'm generally pretty bad at making icons, but all that one required was cropping and centering it on a black background. I'm hopeless at adding text and having it come out nice. I must find time to read some tutorials one of these days.

Teehee! I like too!

It sums up the series rather nicely, doesn't it? I get to see the BDM next week - squeee!

I'm so looking forward to meeting you in Toronto. Are you coming to the Shindig before the movie?

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to meeting you too! You're my drabble hero. :-) I'll try to get into town early enough to catch at least the tail end of the Shindig and meet everyone. I'll be driving to Toronto via Peterborough so it's gonna be a long day. But worth it!

Are you going to SFX too?

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

Yep. VIP ticket for James. I'm craaaaaaaaazy.

Aren't we all? :-) I have a gold ticket - I'll see you there, too.
