Yup, that looks mighty fine to me.

A whole family holding the line with us. Now that's a thing to be reckoned with!



Shiny FM! Can't say I have EVER had a better fit! Mighty grateful!

We are a PROUD Browncoat family! I'm a mighty protective ma, but these young-uns are our hope! Raise 'em up right, teach 'em independence! Won't have them turning into purple bellies! Firefly- The Next Generation! Gggggg

I'm seeing the how, I'm just not getting the why...

Whoa, hold on there a mo, FM! I'm thinkin' the young'uns ought to be kept back a ways from the line. It can be a dangerous place!

'Course, there's no reason they can't wear coats of a brownish color back there. Plus, they can keep themselves busy with the reloadin'.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm pointin' right at it!



Don't you worry none DonCoat, they're a wiry bunch, fast and quick! Ain't EVER too early to learn to take a stand for what's right. I figure you raise 'em up right, they'll be able to hold the line!
For now we'll keep em in back, teach em how to reload, make em useful!

I wanna browncoat!

So here's my story:

Firefly was never shown on German TV (that's where I live), so I had no idea. I sneaked around Serenity in the DVD store a few times and decided to buy it, when I realized, that it was a Joss Whedon. And then I watched it. That's now about 3 weeks ago.

Within the next 10 days or so, I had
- bought and watched firefly (some episodes over and over again)
- read the comic (those left behind)
- bought a bigger TV as to enjoy the show better (no kidding - well the purchase was somewhat planned already, but actually scheduled for later this year)
- got for the first time ever registered at a fan site.
- read my first fan fiction ever
- started to write my first fan fiction ever (I'm at page 15 now and will post it here, as soon as I'm through)

Say, it is possible to buy one of them brown coats somewhere? I mean, the real ones?

I haven't gotten a Browncoat yet, but I've only posted in one other thread so far. I've been here as a BDLurker for a few months though.

First time I heard of Firefly was back during the original airings. I over heard some talk/message board posts about Fox having this new sci fi. I didn't really think much into it, as I was never a fan of sci-fi TV series. I tended to like my sci-fi in movie or book form. So, I didn't look into Firefly. BAD mistake. It went under my radar for the next 2 or so years, until I heard a mention of the plot and I watched the trailer. This was a movie I *had* to see. It looked so good. Seeing the trailer it hinted to me that it was based off of something else, although not directly mentioning anything in particular, so I just patiently waited for the movie. It came out. I saw it. I fell in love. I had to know what it was based on, I wanted to know how this all started. I found out it was Firefly, the show I had ignored before. I downloaded the episodes and watched. At this point I knew this was the best damn story ever. I ended up buying the dvds, and when it came out, the Serenity DVD. Flash forward a few months, I'm lurking on this board. Flash forward a couple more months, I now I have an account here. Figured I should say something sometime. Here we are.

I'm a Sci-Fi guy when I saw the previews for teh show on fox before it came out I cleared time to see it. Sadly I wasnt able to keep up with the show as much as I wanted to and it was cancelled before I knew it. Then Serenity came out and I went to the Theatre and saw it (which I never do because I have to go at night and spend like 10 dollars for just a ticket!!!). Instantly fell in love again. I Netflixed all the episodes and now i want to buy them. Thats how I fell in love

*hugs her browncoat then slips it on*
Thank you DonCoat! This one fits quite well and I'd be glad to wear one thats already broken in with its own story for a while.
*twirls around in it, grinning like a moonbrain*
