I just wanted to say welcome to all who are new to this site and have come out of lurking. Throughout the summer I've popped in and out of the picture like Niska but I'm trying to stay back in the action. Everyone is pretty shiny here so feel free to speak your piece. Until next time all fellow Browncoats.

Hiya, out2theblack! *waves* Nice to meet ya! *offer a glass of Irish whiskey* Please accept a nice glass of whiskey to enjoy.

Man, a longtime 'Coat are you! I never did see the TV promos, just read all the articles in mag's like 'Starlog' and was hyper about it.

I was still hyper, inspite of the network that shall remain nameless and my local affiliate (who kept pre-empting it...not for local sports, but for ruttin' movies!) when it can on.

And, four years later, am still hyper about it.

And I'd like to add a toast: To our BDM's, JOSS, and all the flans, old and new recruits, we are the shiniest folks in the 'verse!

Welcome Yinyang!

Nothing to apologize for in being new someplace. Everyone has been at sometime or the other. Glad you caved in to your brother and found the 'verse!

Please accept this glass of Irish whiskey to sip.

I like that! I suppose most of us here are guilty of that.

So, come on in, make your self at home, and enjoy!

Howdy Howy All!

Quick intro....

My first experiance with Firefly was the commercials they would run during Buffy near the end of the series. (At least I think it was Buffy). I had been a fan of The almighty Joss from the first 5 minutes of Buffy. (When I finally got around to watching it). I will admit that at first I did not watch Buffy because of all the hype people made for it. Usually when a series is praised that highly it is another boring sitcom.

I digress....

When I saw the first commercial I was perplexed. How does one do a Sci-Fi Western? But I was pulled into the 'Verse in minutes. I have always loved the dialog that Joss writes and this was his best! And then it was gone
I was so confused as to what happened to it.

Then out of the blue Serenity previews showed up on the screen. The warm fuzzy memories flooded back. I was so stoked that I saw it first showing opening day not to mention a few more times after.

I just bought the Series on DVD and I have had the Serenity DVD since X-Mas and I an reliving every episode again and again. I just wish there was more.

Well thats me. Nice to know that there are other 'Verse Junkies out there.

Hello and welcome, Out2theBlack, Yinyang, and Kelkhil! Glad you found your way to this shiny corner of the 'verse.

Around these parts we like to greet newcomers (and delurked oldcomers) with a gift of a virtual browncoat. Usually the indomitable FollowMal hands out spankin' new coats that fit perfectly, but when she's busy elsewhere, I like to offer a loan from my stash of recycled 'coats.

They may not fit quite so well, and they have a few miles on 'em, patches and stains and such, but you're more than welcome to wear one until you get your own. Just toss 'em back in the storeroom for the next recruit when you can.

And by all means, join the fun here. There's lots to see and do while we hold the line!

I'm pointin' right at it!

Glad to see so many new recruits dropping by. I encourage lurkers to communicate more. Like to know y'all are still out there.

I saw the movie then fell in love with the series. And of course started looking up everything Firefly/Serenity I could find. Besides this place, I like hanging at CafePress.com and making a wishlist of all the fun merchandise.

I'm in Oregon, looks like we have a pretty active PDX Browncoats group so I'm hoping to get hooked up with them.

I do SCA events as a hobby. Swordfighting mostly.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and chatting.

Shiny! More crew!

tasia #19451 de-lurking I assume?
"Use of a sw'what?"
We'll expect to see some photos of
the long 'n' blade-y.

Yinyang #21703 What a classic story
of hook-age. Your bro is right.

Kelkhil #21710 Our newest number on
the thread. Getting on for 22k...

Yep. Grab those coats until the spiffier
ones arrive, and try not to get too
many holes shot in them. From looking
at Captain's coat where Patience shot him
you can tell we lack somewhat in the dept.
of patching skills.

And here are the evening's strawberries,
our best non-alcoholic recruiting tool,
traded in the market for a bag of llama
wool recovered from an old par-tay thread.

Join us in the galley where the golden
light makes us all feel so warm and look
so very good.

yep - I haven't participated that much until now. Honestly the site is initially a bit hard to figure out, but I think I have it down now.

Lots of great info.
