I own the DVDs
and all 9 covers of the comics
and all the books that have been released

I've made costumes, written some fan fic, done some fan artwork, and bought a dozen t-shirts

I went to the movie about 8 times, and attended meet-ups in Iowa and California

yeah, I'm pretty much thinking we could call me obsessed...
yeah, I think that that is the word for it.

Me? No. I'm not obsessed. Oh, wait. Yes. Yes, I am. But I like it that way. It wouldn't be as much fun otherwise.

Am I obsessed? Certainly.

I know this because it does not embarass me that I am.

Firefly is well worth being obsessed about.

Obsessed?

Me?

Noooooooo.

I'm so rutting beyond obsessed it's shiny. Trekkers walking down the street in their starfleet uniforms point at me and scream, "What a freak," as they pass. The American Psychiatric Association is going to put out a new edition of their diagnostic manual solely to cover my far beyond compulsive devotion to Serenifly. I'm hoping that they name the disorder "Tragic Space Dementia, All Crochety and Paranoid"

Live long, and prosper, Serenity crew.

That's a yes.

My logic is in question, where my show is concerned Chrisisall

Have you seen my long-ass thread about my coat?
Some would say it's just a coat. To me, it is a symbol; a badge of honor. It says "I am a Browncoat, and I am proud!" Those who do not understand are either deprived or simply idiots.
Yes, I am obsessed. I am hard core. I am a line-holder. I am BROWNCOAT.

One summer.
One mission.
One legion of Browncoats.

Starting June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Yep, there is a line. I do hope I haven't crossed it yet! I am happy to call myself a trekie as well as (primarily) a browncoat, but about 10 years ago when I went to see Patrick Stewart do a fantastic one man performance of A Christmas Carol at the Old Vic theatre I was mortified to see someone turn up in a Startrek uniform. I mean that's just disrespectful of his as an actor isn't it? Oh and there was the time when Walter Koenig (Chekov) was sweet enough to join me at the bar for a drink at a convention and some idiot kept calling him Chekov! Just made you want to die!!

One thing that does make me proud is that several of the Buffy cast have said how much they enjoy doing conventions in the UK because the fans are more respectful. After all just because someone is a big damn star doesn't mean that every fan has the right to accost them whenever they like for photos and autographs. So long as we treat our heros with courtesy and respect I say we have nothing to be ashamed of! Be proud of your Browncoat!
