Howdy,

So I know there are a ton of UK Browncoats because Serenity reached number 1 here in our box offices but so far I have seen little evidence of said masses. I know there is the browncoat webpage for us UK fans, but doesn't seem like much ever happens. This could be my complete ignorance of events or the fact that I am up in Scotland and am slightly removed from the goings on down in England. So yeah. Just wanted to see if there are others of you out there!

They mostly come out at night. Mostly.

Erm, wait a minute no, they're probably out in the day time. Well I am. Most of the day and occasionally some of the night as well.

In any case, I'm a fan, British, two legs and everything. From Hull (Or 'Ull as is known roundabouts) though I'm currently at Uni in Lincoln. Don't much hear about any events and probably wouldn't go if I did. Not that I'm unsociable; the things just don't appeal :(

I've converted a few people into fans but I'm yet to meet a fellow fan if you know what I mean.

Do we exist? Of course we do! Hello! *waves* There's lots of us around and about, there's even a map to prove it made by Zol, here,

Lots of us are off to the Serenity Squared convention on Friday! Yay! Nice to meet you though.

Huh, nifty map! More than I thought.

I know what iccledames means though. i too have converted people but have as of yet met an actual fan! Crazy. Ah yes that nifty convention this weekend. Heard about it so very late, like yesterday and regretably am unable to attend. Sounds a blast though. So to everyone who goes...have fun!

Oh, we exist all right. We just don't evangelize, we don't preach. We just exist like this reservoir of wonderfulness.

Joss has always been a friend of the English. He shows us the proper respect!

Like Mark said, we do exist, we're just quiet about stuff - even if that stuff is really good.

Yup! I iz here way down in the south. Not alone either - I've converted two very close friends, one in London and one in Brussels, the latter being utterly distgusted at the news that Serenity is not going to be released in the cinemas out there. I also recently converted my dad, and another married couple, who knew nothing about Firefly, Angel, Buffy or one Mr Joss Whedon!!?

Currently trying to convert my girlfriend, her brother and his girlfriend...

So there will be more of us :) in time.

But anyway... Hello!

Go UK! Southamptoner here, new recruit but here nonetheless. Wish I could go to Serenity Squared, but I'm off to Nottingham to freeze my arse off instead :P

You can't trust the quiet ones...

My mama made it!

Hi Shiny, I used to live in Southampton. I'm in Cheltenham now.

I think there are a lot of quiet flans. I know because I only discovered that one of my colleagues was on the day after I bought tickets for a group of fans for the Birmingham preview. By then they had sold out of course so he had to wait for October.
