 So yesterday, a random person on Twitter (notalwaysweak ) posted the following:

"#Firefly (all episodes): 616

#Serenity (movie): 119

Total runtime: 735 minutes

Question: is there more filk, parody, and homage music out there than the show's actual runtime?

Answer: Let's find out together."

They began a Spotify playlist, but given that there's plenty of filk that's not on Spotify, they moved it to this spreadsheet at my suggestion. Suggestions to bring us up to the full runtime are welcome. Also, if anyone has the runtime for any unrecorded Firefly songs (some of Seanan's come to mind, but I know there are others), please add them!

...how have I not written a Firefly song yet?

Does 'Stars Fall Home' count? It's from a Firefly-themed RPG Seanan was in, so ... maybe?

Other'n that you've got the ones I know.

I would think so. If Annie's Luck counts as a B5 filk because Rroleplay setting, I would think 'Stars Fall Home' would count for the same reason.

That's pretty much the established criteria, yeah.

[jtthomas]

It's in the list of things we'll add once we've got a runtime, so yeah.

I think I have a few not on the list, but it'll take time to get them dug out of the gigabytes of filk I have.

Consider this a placeholder.

Wouldn't shock me.

At some point I realized that a single Madoka fanfic I was reading probably had more material and world-thought in it than existed in the original anime + movie. Likewise for Nanoha. Of course it's easier to create lots of prose text than lots of songs.
