When I joined this website I introduced my self. The next day when I opened my email I had tons and tons of emails from the people who had replied to me. Thanks for making me feel so welcome.
I started watching Firefly on the Space Network here in Canada and was hooked immediately. I have been a trekker for over 30 years and I've chucked it all aside to become a Browncoat. It doesn't take long before one feels that the shows characters are like your old friends. Now by joining this website I have made new friends who definately understand me. Members of my own family think I'm just going through a phase but I'm here to stay. I hope that in years from now we'll all be discussing the latest Firefly movie.
I hope it has a long healthy run and I'm going to do my part to spread the word.
Love Lalara

Lalara, I like the way you think..except that in a few "years" we will be discussing several seasons of Firefly/Serenity and a few movies

Until then, take a place along the line beside me and FollowMal...we got some fighting to do before our friends come home.

We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.

Yes, absolutely.

We are 'reverse' virus marketing, I guess you could call it.

Welcome to another Trek convert. Before Firefly, I would have said nothing compares to SW and ST. Not even Farscape. (And I LOVE Farscape)

Firefly and Serenity just blew them all away.

The best part is, every fan I've seen posting has been upbeat and not at all bitter about our misfortune of not having a show right now. There is hope and love and a sense of family. I've never gotten that from any Star Wars or Star Trek group. The acceptance you get here is like NO other. I not only fell in love with the show, I fell in love with the fans. Every post I've seen by a Browncoat begging for the show back has been intelligent, respectful and courteous.

I'm so proud of my Browncoat status and so very proud of being associated with them.

(I'm even looking into sewing myself a Zoe prairie coat and knitting a cunning Jayne hat just to make it official!)

Glad to haveyou with us, Lalara!

By the way, if the emails get too annoying, you can click off the check box at the bottom of the posting screen. That way you'll get no mail notifications for responses to that post.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Maybe it is a phase, perhaps something like, say, death could end it.

Anyway, glad you're here, pretty sure I already said that but it is still true and a little repetition doesn't hurt.

If I'm one of the ones who made you feel welcome you're welcome. Damn that sounds stupid.

Yeah, I agree. The first thing that attracted me here was just how friendly all of the people were. The Browncaots here are a like support group/family/fellow fans all wrapped up in one shiny package! It seems like the loving and homey atmosphere of the show has rubbed off on all of us, or the show attracted already loving and homey people... I won't strain my brain on that one too long. LOL! The point is, I love all the unique personalities and great talents here! You can't take the sky from us!

The only difficulty with this forum is keeping up with all the enjoyable posts.

When I first came, I'd just quit a GameFAQs forum, so I can tell you it was such a stark contrast to your run-of-the-mill posters over there. KF

Lalara,

I second that opinion. I'm new to this site and I've never really posted messages before, so I was a little nervous, but everyone on this site seems very friendly and accepting. Also, there are a lot of interesting threads! I lose whole hours of time reading them.

If anyone could give me any advice about posting, I'd really appreciate it. (For instance, how do I get a cool graphic at the top? And do I reply to the first post or the last, or does it matter? And how do I use one of those emoticons?)

Thanks again!
