* Loud barker style voiceover*

And the next browncoat goes to.......

Uksouthbrowncoat!!!!

The proud owner of a fine browncoat in the tradition of Mal Reynolds!
Wear it with pride and remember you are a Browncoat *said with lots of reverence*

How'd I miss you? My apologies..and glad I caught up with you or is that you caught up with me? Well...

I love our home.

*Leaves the thread for the new random one.. thought of a good random thing...*

That is the one thing I remember about first signing up here and posting my first thread...I was expecting to get flamed, and instead I was welcomed with open arms, food, Mudder's Milk, and my very own Browncoat!
*strike a manly Mal pose*
See? That kind of welcome makes this the shiniest place in the 'verse!

Thank you again to everyone who welcomes the newbies!



Holding until you get back, Captain.

Welcome, Uksouthbrowncoat! It's always grand to have another new face about the place!

So how'd you get hooked on Firefly? Friend's? Family? Found it on you own? (My option was (c) all on my little lonesomes. )

Inquiring minds wanna know.

I've been places where that's happened to me. Not from Browncoats, mind you, but in other, to remain nameless, fandoms.

I've just never understood that mentality. If you don't want new folks you start a private mailing list, you don't run other folks off. *sigh*

Folks like that just make me wonder if they was brought up by baboons, but then I later think that the observation is unfair to the baboons.

I'm just glad to see so many happy, friendly folks as we got here. Makes me proud to be a browncoat.

{EDIT} D'oh! My brain went AWOL. I forgot to say, how much I appreciate FollowMal's handin' out of the coats. Made me feel all happy.

I love the Browncoat tradition. Followmal gave me one when I first came and it made me feel right at home, even though I had been a member of the site for maybe a day or two.

Huzzah for the givers of Browncoats!



Mine is an evil sugar high laugh! Bwahahahaha!

I remember when the "tradition" started, and when FollowMal graciously asked the "veterans" if it was all right to keep doing it.

I was one who answered (and said yes, of course). But now I look at my ID number and FollowMal's, and I can't really see how I ever thought of myself as much more of a veteran than she.

I think it's a great tradition, and as long as FM is willing to do all the hard work of hunting up the new 'coats and coating them, I'll feel like all's well on this old rust bucket.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

*the bun's keen senses pick up the faint odor of "new browncoat" in this thread. she enters, laden with show-themed food.*

Welcomes all 'round, and have a strawberry. I've been out mugging Shepherds all afternoon and the haul is shiny indeed. Tomatoes, rosemary, cucumbers, zucchini, a lot of strawberries. In the souk they're selling ice-planets and imported Mudder's Milk from Higgins' Moon. We'll have a buffet together as soon as the cheese is hot and the cake-frosting is chocolate-y enough.

(FM, have you SEEN the slurpalicious not-from-the-series Nathan photo we are captioning this week? My keyboard is filling up every time I go to look at the pic for inspiration.)

Ok, oddly enough (I know this seems truly impossible!) I have not.. seriously link me to this not- from -the -series Nathan photo.

For I am weak and seeing Nathan/Mal will revive me and make me feel much better, Bun.
