How many friends have you converted??

So far I've convinced 2 friends to buy both the Firefly boxset and the Serenity movie. Though another friend watched 20 minutes of Serenity and turned off, which is not really surprising as he hates Sci-Fi, but it was worth a try!!!

How many have you conviced?

Sadly, I have no friends. Well no friends that don't already know about Serenifly. Though I'm thinking about doing up a sandwich board that says, "Ask me about Firefly" and wandering around the city to drum up interest.

I ordered my box set today!
Firefly and Serenity is the best sci-fi series ever.
Seen the series and the movie over and over again.

I've only had one total success story- I go my best friend's mom (who I'm pretty good friends with, too, lol) to buy both the BDM and the Firefly boxed set. I've converted my boyfriend to Firefly/Serenity love, but he won't buy them 'cause he just steals them from me when he wants them. Same with my friend Justin- he totally loves Firefly and Serenity, but is too cheap to purchase. I'm still working on him, though...

Unfortunatly I haven't converted many people. I've only converted 3, but the good news is most of my other friends already are fans. The ones that don't have the dvd's I will buy them as a gift on their b-day. Ha ha. But I tell everyone I know about it and slowly get them to see the BDM or I loan them Firefly. Although I wish my g/f would convert already. She thinks it's ok(???) how anyone can think that is beyond me.

I've converted 8. Bought three people Firefly and Serenity sets for Christmas ;)

One of those is *not* a western or a sci fi watcher either, she hates the genre. I feel a warm glow of accomplishment considering she loves it now ;)

Converted several friends and a couple family members to boot, but the coolest thing ever was seeing one of those friends that I converted . . . convert someone else! I felt like a proud grandpa! Or at least, how I'd imagine a proud grandpa would feel.

Don't know how many have bought one of there own but so far I've bought both the box set and the movie twice. One for home one to loan. Although I should probably get more because getting the loaners back is pretty damn difficult.

5 to buy Firefly - I'm not going to try and convince anyone to buy Serenity.

I went to the movie with about 15 different people (some more than once as I personally saw it 8 times). Several of these people mentioned it to their friends and I know of at least 8 others that subsequently saw the movie because of this.

I have shown the episodes to 7 people thus far. Of these, four own the movie and 2 the tv series. I am planning on having a FF-watching shindig very soon and hope to introduce at least 5-7 more people to the tv show.

Everyone that saw the movie liked it. Some loved it. But unlike the movie, anyone who sees the television show becomes irrevocably hooked. I don't know anyone who hasn't fallen in love with the show after watching the episodes. This is the ultimate conversion tool.

So keep on converting browncoats! We will get more SereniFly if we keep up the good work. The show sells itself. We just need to expose people to the contagion. And make sure your converts know that buying the movie dvds is important for the future of the show.
