I dreamt a dream....
. . . in which there was new Firefly canon. It was airing on SciFi, even though I don't watch SciFi; I was fipping through channels and recognized Summer Glau.
It wasn't good canon; River and Simon were flying on a magic carpet. And everyone was living in a house, and then two houses, and then they built an addition connecting the two houses. [ETA: To be honest, I shouldn't even call it new canon, because it wasn't that, not really. It was a continutation of the text, which I have no doubt every fan would reject as canon.]
But it was on TV. Played by the actors. And as I said before, I could take or leave new canon [new text] if it weren't for the actors. Fanfic keeps me going. But fanfic can't give me Summer Glau's movement or Juliet Landau's voice. I miss these things. I want more.
And then Joss came into my bedroom and explained that it wasn't really new canon [eta: and here I think he meant new canon, because he was being all authorial intention-y like he was when he called the comics canon], it was a fanfic, and gave a long speech on copyright infringement. And I was all, "Do you really expect me to believe someone created a fan film with the original actors? And then aired it on cable television?"
And then I woke up and realized there was no new canon [new text] and was very, very sad.
I want to go back to bed now.

I think I've missed the whole discussion of what constitutes canon in the Ffly 'verse - TV shows as on DVDs and movie, yes? But what's the consensus on everything else?
