...and if it isn't, well....Hi anyway, and sorry 'bout that.

I found this site through a link on Buffy.nu. I'm a newish Firefly fan, and a newish Joss fan in general. My husband and I started watching Buffy, and then Angel last summer, after deciding to give a fair chance to what so many of our friends had been on about for so long. We quickly became rabid, obsessive converts,(and have since dropped a pretty penny on dvd's of our very own. ) And then when we were done, and still reeling from the cataclysmic final episode of Angel, our theatre director came to me and said, "Did you know Joss also did a sci-fi show? Sort of a space pirate western thing?"
We couldn't get hold of the show fast enough....

And of course, it was just as phenomenal as the Buffy 'verse, only tragically short lived. (Stupid networks....we missed gems like these when they were on the air because the general cruddiness of what they choose to air has driven us to pretty much boycott television altogether...) Anyway, the Serenity movie is now the best news we've had in a long time, and we've committed ourselves to seeing it (or at least buying tickets) twice a paycheck for as long as it's in theaters, 'cause we really want that trilogy!

So....yeah. Another Jossaholic makes her way to a support group....baby steps...

Patron: That girl is a witch!
Mal: Yeah, but she's OUR witch.

I'm listening. With Beer.

Welcome...You must be a King fan, like me...What is it:
Bird and Bear, Hare and Fish...

I can't remember offhand...but, this is a great site...I've been here just under a year, and I've liked it so much that its the only website that I've contributed financially to. Its just that good. Plenty of resources and information, and plenty of nice, intelligent Browncoats to talk to...Heck, even the occasional troll can be fun.

Anyways...umm...welcome.

Plus...hey, Beer!

Welcome!
It is always a joy to hear about new fans...
and believe me, even when you are watching your Firefly DVDs for the fifth or sixth time you will still find a lot to interest you!

Now, are you familiar with the comic books?
Not so much the Buffy & Angel comics (which weren't actually written by Joss Whedon),
but the comics that were:

Fray (a series he completed)
Tales of the Slayer (a one off comic)
Tales of the Vampire (a completed series)
Astonishing X-men (currently continuing series)
and soon...(in July)
Serenity the Comic Book:

(just some fun things to entertain you while waiting for Sept 30th)

Anyway, welcome, visit the Blue Sun Room and discover the joys of fan fiction!

Welcome Birdandbear! It's always great to see a new fan. Gives me hope for a plethora of sequels. Look around and have fun. Don't worry if you make a mistake, people here are real nice.

Welcome to our little corner of the 'verse! Don't forget that in addition to buying all those tickets the best way to get a sequel/trilogy is to recruit all your friends, family, co-workers, and random people you meet on the street. :-)

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

I've started a new strategy, it hurts, but it pays off.

Stop watching, for a long time. (That’s the hard part.)

Then watch it again (that’s the fun part)

It’s just like the first time, but better. You get the thrill of being surprised and such because you’ve gotten a bit hazy on exactly what happens when and how, but you still get to find new stuff every time you watch.

There’s nothing like the first time watching something, but that doesn’t mean you can’t beat it. You get to meet the characters all over again, but you already know you like them and care about them the first time you see them, and …

so forth, I’m on a rant, but I’ve run out of stuff to say, and I’m using commas instead of ellipses, the grammar gods will kill me.

Trust me, it works.

Not sure it would be a good idea for other –aholic things though.

Welcome here.
