Ok, am I truly addicted if I've done these?
1) Watch the series IN ORDER as they are formated in the DVD box set.
2) Watch ALL the Bonus material on DVD box set
3) Repeat step 1 but this time with all the commentary tracks ON.
4) Get Extended Gag reel from Firefly on a site that downloads video... I like Limewire. Type in "Firefly gag" in search field
---1, 2, 3, 4 Since Christmas, at least 4 times.
7) Watch the BDM (thats what us Browncoats call the Serenity movie... It means BIG DAMN MOVIE. Derived from the line by Zoe in the episode "Safe"... "Big Damn Heroes, Sir!")
8) Watch all Bonus material on the BDM DVD
9) Repeat step 7 But this time with Joss Whedons commentary track on
---7, 8, 9 At least three times in the past three weeks.
16) Buy a BLUE SUN shirt on ebay and wear it while rocking back and forth in the dark, in the fetal postion, thumb in your mouth, wondering how this show was not the slamdunk hit of the decade.
17) Repeat step 16
18) Repeat step 16
Will this one work if I immerse myself into costuming? Like picking up a pattern for a Zoe prairie coat and sewing it myself? Trying to find somewhere there are necklaces at least close to what's in the series? Am hoping to pick up a bit of swag in the next few weeks....
Hubby just quit smoking. Now I think I FINALLY know what he's been going through.

I feel your pain, I live quite literally "on the rim" (small town in North-Central Montana, we have about 800 people and no house-house mail delivery) the closest "central planet" would be Seattle or Vancouver. So to make it to any kind of con or shindig would ivolve a lot of travel and money.

You had me up until step 16. Then it got a little weird.
If you can't find the RPG or the comics at your store, then I know for a fact that Amazon carries them. Look for the Serenity TPB (Trade Paperback), it should be listed as Serenity(Paperback) by Joss and Brett Matthews. It's the collection of the entire comic series, so you don't have to hunt down individual issues if you aren't so inclined.
Also, you can always peruse the fanfic section of this very site, the Blue Sun Room. There's some darn fine stuff in there, to be sure. It's not official, but there are some folks who have put a lot of effort into making their own continuity. Also, the Strawberry Awards for fanfic, fanvideo and the like are coming up, so you can check that out to get a sampling of what's considered the cream of the crop.
Just remember, they can't stop the signal.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!

Ah, we have a fine Browncoat who has just exactly that! You need to go to Jetflair's site, she has a replica of Zoe's necklace and shiny dogtags (with Mmmm Mal on them!) and oh, she just has lots of pretties! Here is the link to her wonders:

Hope that works. The only other bit of advice I'd recommend other than the master list you have already done ( and done and done, lol, cuz we all do) is that you come here often and talk with all of us. It helps me. When I get blue I have my fellow Browncoats to encourage me to hang in there.
We are mighty and we will get our sequel or better yet another season or 10 of the show!

Kevar,
It's a big 'verse out here on the rim, but you're not alone. I live in southwest Montana on a ranch. Nearest town (any ole wide spot in the road) is 20 miles. I'm a new recruit Browncoat, getting my fixes with everything Serenity/Firefly I can find. Work through the pain by spreading the word. Three new recruits so far. Not too bad when you consider that there are far more cows than people out here (I felt right at home with the bovines in Shindig).
Can't stop the signal.

*points finger* ADDICT! ADDICT!

Welcome to the club! Sadly, there is not enough 'verse to satisfy. We are doomed to constantly crave more. :(

Another new Browncoat! And one who is already recruiting!
Welcome and thank you! That is so shiny!

Welcome, Kaele!
I'm afraid all the beautiful things have already been said. So, essentially, I have nothing to reach out to you with; except, perhaps, to say that I wish to reach out to you. I know, that's not much.
What ELSE could I offer you? Well, at this point, I'm not even convinced there really is much ELSE than FireFly/Serenity. So I fear I come up empty there, too.
It sorta goes down-hill from here.
Truth be told, I'm not even sure I want to you to have something ELSE. I cannot, in good conscience, tell you to go see Batman or something, or ninja-turtles, or what not.
This is the 'Verse. It draws you. Call it "spiritual gravity", call it "Love," give it a name that best pleases you, or none at all. But understand, foremost, that the pain you feel, I daresay, is actually a good thing. You've been exposed to something wonderful; something normally not visibly around you. And now it's gone; and now you're hurtin'.
But I say: learn to Love what you miss. Learn to Love that you miss it! Revel at what you cherish; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
It kinda goes a bit up-hill now.
Remember Contact? You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.
We're all in this boat together. And we ain't going anywhere; and if we are, you get to go along for the ride. Anyway, you're on our crew. Why're we still talkin' about this?
