Before we get too off-topic, I just wanna add my thanks to Followmal. I hadn't even been on the board for ten minutes when I got my very own Browncoat. I've had nasty experiences in other fandoms - but you made me feel like part of the family.
You guys are the best!!!!!

Gee thanks FollowMal just what I've always been wantin'
*shrugs into the new shiny, feelin kinda special* Seems to be just about perfect. Guess now might be the time to head to the Galley and catch myself some of those strawberries from FloralBunny before they disappear...
Thanks guys, you're stars:-)
RMMC, thanks for the welcome
. How'd I get roped in? I was one of those reluctant folks who resisted the persuasions of friends for *months* and who finally gave in and sceptically watched the borrowed DVDs that they *insisted* on lending me without any encouragement whatsoever on my part to do so.
Now its a real affirmation to come onto this site and have an almost daily rerun of my own Firefly Emotional Journey from every new fan who joins the boards
The wheel turns. My best friend is still resisting my ravings about the show but he's weakening and I'm pretty sure that the taster DVD from Germany is going to clinch it...

I was unaware that new folk considered it a "tradition".
I have to say, it really is - for me anyway. Getting my 'coat was just such a cool way of being made to feel welcome and at home, and I have seen many new people seeking FollowMal for their 'coat.
I personally really love it, it's a great ice breaker and does contribute to the family feeling here in this shiny site. Every site should have a meeter and greeter like this one.
Don't stop! Keep holding that line and keep handing out them coats! Wars not done yet (we all ain't just folk yet) - we got a series to save, and this time I have a feeling the battle of Serenity Valley might have a happier ending for us browncoats!

You know,I'm feelin' all kinds of pretentious...I think I'll go on back to my storeroom now.
Which means you're really sneaking back to pictures of the captain, right? lol

Way to go, FM. Got your link and didn't have to wait for me to show up back here....
That one should go in the Lashy File.
But I embarrass myself.
Welcome again to our newest members. Nothin's worse than showing up somewhere, getting up the courage for a post, then dealing with singed brows or cold indifference.
Hot chocolate in about fifteen...
If you see any llamas about, please put them in the pen.

I'd like to echo my appreciation and thanks to Followmal. I haven't been on this forum as long as others and she always makes EVERYONE feel welcome and appreciated. I've thought more than once that if there was ever an election for Browncoat Of The Year she would win hands down.

Our Captain looks loverly in his priestlike clothing in Dracula 2000. Hang on, while I rewind.
HMMMMMMMMM

Forgive me for not understanding, as I have not been on FireflyFans.net lately. If someone could please let me know what this is, it would be most appreciated.
It does look interesting...

Icarus, some of us have taken to welcoming
newcomers who identify themselves as such
on the board.
FM has a storeroom full of virtual browncoats
which will fit all comers.
I and others forage for strawberries and other
show-themed food for the buffet.
(Now that we're over 20850 it's getting too
hard to seat all at the galley table.)
Somewhere out in the cargo bay a vat of hodgeberry
wine is fermenting.
There has lately been an incursion of llamas through several threads but we are trying to
confine them to the virtual dance par-tay thread.
That should cover most of it.
I hope.
Don't be a stranger. Caption with us. Write poems. Dance.
Oh, and keep spreading the Firefly word.

I have been out of the 'verse for over a week now, and with the exception of FollowMal, not in contact with any other soul. She not only hands out virtual Browncoats, she hands out love, support and gives of herself wholeheartedly.
Were it not for FollowMal aka Diane, I would not have made it through my rather trying ordeal.
I raise a glass of Mudder's Milk to our FollowMal! Thank you for being you! We love you!
