app them now, srsly.
Hello everyone!
As you may know, applications open once again on June 1st. That's in...precisely two weeks! New crew members abound! They don't actually get to play until July, but it's never too early to start thinking about characters you may want to apply for. If you already have your idea, great!
If not, well, sit back and allow us to provide some suggestions.
For this...is...ENABLING NIGHT! ((Offer does not expire at midnight. Enable as long as necessary.))
Use this post to tell us why the canon you love and character you want are so spectacularly fantastic that they deserve another chance. That this ship will wither and die without their vital, life-giving presence. That they are worthy of being picked up and applied for.
How can you accomplish this? However you like! Essays extolling their virtues, your very best pictures of them, your favorite music videos, EXTREME ADVERTISING, and whatever else you have are all welcomed here! Let's make this ~fun~.
Good luck and happy apping! I'll have example comments up very shortly.

So you're looking for someone to app? Have I got a cast for you!
For any of you who don't know much about Firefly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrAS20mNZUE), think Cowboys In Space with more Chinese and awesome, and not as many aliens as you're inclined to believe (re: none). We have several characters running around already (Wash, Kaylee, Jayne, and Inara), but there are five more people on the crew, and a long list of wonderful side characters. There are also only fourteen episodes (and a movie, if you're feeling like it), which makes canon review nice and easy! They're also chalk-full of beautiful dialogue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uMAKtXlXf4).
Serenity Crew Members
~Captain Malcolm Reynolds (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPRlHwwVIug) - Soldier in the war (on the losing side, not to be confused with the wrong side), now Captain of his own ship. Dry sense of humor, very Take Charge.
~Zoe Washburne (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr11K6akTMk) - First Mate of the ship, and Wife to Wash. Fought in the war alongside Mal. Zoe and Mal have a similar sense of humor, though Zoe is much more the Strong Silent Type. She's also just plain Badass Woman.
~Shepherd Derrial Book (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUQ9zsd1nn4) - A missionary who joined up with the crew to experience the world and spread The Word. His background in-series is a mystery, but he knows how to fight and handle weapons... One of the Serenity comic books, "A Shepherd's Tale", gives his background.
~Simon Tam (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JutAnhS0tB0) - Are you medically-inclined? Do you enjoy medical jargon and being smarter (and more awkward) than most people around you? Simon might just be the guy for you! (that, and Kaylee would be most pleased if you apped him~)
~River Tam (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNkcK2toExY&feature=related) - Yes, she's crazy, but she also kicks ass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVgR11CEEao). 'Nuff said.
There are also a ton and a half of amazing side-characters, and for anyone interested in any of the crew members or the side dudes, I would be more than happy to give you all of the resources you might need. Most episodes can be found on youtube, and there are some on hulu as well. There's also an awesome wikia (http://firefly.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) that's packed full of information about the time, history, characters, planets, and ships. Good stuff, if I do say so myself :)
