I'm new! Been a big fan of Firefly since September. I really wish I'd known about Firefly when it was on TV though...

I've been a Buffy/Angel/Joss fan for a while though. It was completely natural to join ranks with the Browncoats.

For my 21st birthday (which is Monday yay) I got 'Firefly'-inspired tattoos.

"You can't take the sky from me."


And the 'serenity' characters on my left hip (to match my 'BVS' symbol on my right)

Message boards are fickle things. I tried to make the picture smaller....


One movie.
One day.
The Browncoats have one mission.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Great tattoo! I'm terrified of needles, so it's not something I'd do myself but I admire anyone who can.

Well, I've been a member here since March and I found Firefly when my ex introduced me to the first ep. I went on to love it, he hated it - there's a reason he's an ex!
I didn't have Sci-fi at the time so I never saw it past that first episode but I waited patiently, or not so patiently for the dvd to be released and have loved it ever since.

Oh and where do you get new Browncoats? Mine is a bit tatty now?



I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.

Heyla, and I do have to say I've been very impressed with your site! I am a fan originally from Colorado, but recently moved to Florida, (big damn sauna). A friend of mine got me into Firefly and I am proud to say I am so totally hooked! Keep up the good work!

I am overjoyed at the fact there are so many new browncoats turning up lately. New fans is exactly what this fanbase needs right now if we want any hope of a BDM sequel or any other sort of future for our 'verse.

We should all do all we can to make them feel welcome & encourage them to spread the word. I think expressing aggrivation over their intro threads will have a negative impact on their enthusiasm and willingness to post here. This site has been called the friendliest on the 'net by quite a few browncoats & I would hate to see some new people leaving feeling like others here don't want them here or are annoyed by them. I am sure no one else wants that either.

So, enjoy the influx of new people. Embrace it! Celebrate in the fact that our efforts to spread the word are working! New people are discovering what many of us have known for a long time, that Firefly & Serenity are fantastic sci fi & deserving of a chance to fly. We NEED these new fans a lot more then they need us. A little patience and courtesy will take us all a long way.

Just sayin'.

I'm one of the new ones and honestly I have to say that when I read the title of the thread and then the first post I very elegantly raised a finger to the screen... then I thought about the very warm welcome I received on other threads and I thought 'who cares about one rude browncoat?'..even the capt'n is rude every now and then, isn't he?
so thank you again for the welcome, the browncoat and the food...I'm here to stay and I aim to misbehave...

Just dropping in to say howdy to all the new 'coats out here

I got a nice warm reception when I first smuggled aboard, and my first thread wasn't so much an introduction as a long-winded rant about the unfairness of it all :P Anyways, shiny to see the signal's still spreading, and hope to see you all around the threads.

Keep the faith, spread the word, and know we'll all be holding the line together until Mal gets back. (And if he doesn't come back soon, or something happens, don't forget... we take the ship and come rescue him :)
