Firefly has prompted me to write fanfiction, though I've never written anything more challenging than a letter home, before now. First ff hasn't been posted, but I'm hopeful and nervous and excited. It's good for me and I owe Joss Whedon and Firefly for starting that creative urge in me. Yay!

Exactly. I can't watch much without thinking, "I'd be enjoying Firefly a whole lot more right about now..."
Then I put on an ep.

Dark Angel is the only thing I've found that holds my interest as well as FF (although FF is better!).

Oh, I too am now desperate to get the DVD! The BDM has left my area completely, and I am suffering.

How in the world can Mal be so vital and alive to us, huh? But he is....I haven't EVER felt this for a character.

My Mom is watching and her last question to me was: " Do Mal and Inara EVER get together?!" I shrugged and said "We'll never know... if there isn't a second movie and a third, and maybe the series comes back." "Ok, she said, what exactly do we have to do to get this job done?!"

I'm contemplating giving my brother a set of DVD's for his birthday. He's not a scifi fan, but I know he will love this. We'll have another Browncoat, I just know it! And I am ordering another set.... I'm afraid I'm going to wear the set I kept out.

I can't watch anything else. I love being in the 'verse, and I don't wanna come up for air.

Still following Mal......

How has Firefly changed my life?

I've purchased just about everything that is available for Firefly/Serenity.

I've seen the movie more than 8 times now.

I'm on Firefly.net and other firefly forums, reading all the topics and posting a lot. Also I go to the archives and try not to reply to a post set: 3/12/03

I've quit going to the forums that I used to go to before I discovered Firefly. (I call it my pre-firefly days)

Everytime my friends want to talk about movies, I talk only about Firefly and Serenity.

I search for firefly actors photos on the net.

I've changed my hairstyle and my wardrobe to the style River wears.

I say "'verse" a lot.

There are 3 Firefly episodes that I cry each time I see them (not gonna say which ones)

I get mad when I read about someone in the forum talking bad about Firefly.

I can't get the song from "Jaynestown" out of my head.

I can't get the Firefly theme song out of my head.

I've converted my Firefly DvDs into Mpeg4 format and downloaded them into my pocket sized Archos, portable movie player and watch it every single day.

I wonder about the characters a lot.

All of this activity concerning Firefly has occured in the past 2 weeks, and I think that I accidently became what I never thought I would ever become...a crazed fan.

I don't know why I'm behaving this way, but there is something about the Firefly 'verse that strikes a serious chord within the deepest part of my mind.

I'm really sad that they won't make any more tv shows.

I guess Firefly/Serenity has effected my life a little I would say.

Look mommy, there's a little plane up there in the sky...

Chrisisall, the same has happened to me! I used to be a "Lost" junkie, and now, even when I am watching a new ep, I'm thinking, 'gee, maybe I'll tape this and watch it later so I can watch a Firefly ep again instead!'

And yeah, how did I get to be a crazed fan in a little over two weeks? I've made it to 38 and this has NEVER happened to me before!

FollowMal, you and I must be kindred spirits. I have never thought so much and wondered so much about a character in my life. Kudos to Joss and the rest of the scriptwriters for writing such a complex, believable and compelling character in our beloved Cap'n; uber kudos to Nathan for making him walk and talk and breath and live in our imaginations!

It is great to read all the posts above and know that I am not alone in having this gem of a show/film take over my life!

It's made me an even bigger fan of Joss Whedon. It's made me a big fan of the cast. And it's made me come to this site and spend far too much time on it (in a good way).

It made me waste tons of time recasting the Firefly crew as muppets (see the MUPPENITY thread).

NOT exactly great for my productivity. I might have to fire myself now.

We ARE kindred spirits Fillionflan, and I second your kudos to Nathan. He brings Mal to life. Words escape me actually...

I am sitting here posting, listening to the soundtrack from Serenity musing about what Mal felt at the end of the movie, so many losses, so much pain, yet once again free.

I think way too much about him, I suppose, but there hasn't been as compelling a character to think about in my humble opinion in a long time.

I don't watch anything else, and I had been interested in "Lost" and "BSG" but they can't hold a candle to this. No way.

I feel the same way about coming to the site, makes me feel "at home" being among all of us who love this 'verse so much.

"I love my Captain."

Well.. im not as obsessed as most but i do love the show.. My friends and i are actually starting to use the Mandarin phrases from the show in our everyday speech.. Speaking of which..(I love you Joss but those guys butchered a lot of their Mandarin) anyways.. the show has made me re-realize why i love the bizz so much and want to be a part of it.. The possibility of working on one of the Serenity movies or (holds breathe) Firefly if it comes back on the air would be a dream come true.. and yes i made my very own Firefly costume pretty much from scratch and wore it around for Halloween...

"-Neat Costume who are you?
-One of the characters from Firefly..
-(Pause) Whats Firefly?
-This amazing Sci-Fi show that you should watch!!"
