yeah it was back in march or early april I joined, I think.
Then just got pulled back in.
You can't leave Serenity and Serenity doesn't leave you.

Hi, just stopped by to introduce myself. I'm one of those people who discovered the 'verse by watching Serenity and then going back and watching the series (not actually that confusing.)

Well, here I am...
I've been lurking for about a month. I've been a completely obsessed Browncoat for about a month. I first saw Firefly... about a month ago (I worked nights when it was first on, and feel like I've been in a coma the last 4 years...)
I have to say, this is the show I've been dreaming of since the summer of 1977 (yep, I preferred the scoundrel to the sky walker.) I dreamed of being these people, being with these people (not like THAT! Well, not all of them) for, yipes - nearly 30 years. If Zoe Washburne had existed when I was a teenager, I think I might have turned out... thinner.
I feel like an anachronism in this 'verse. Misplaced, mis-timed, misfired. I tend to live to escape into my mind, and Firefly is the closest to what's in there than anything I've ever experienced.
Also, I have two cats and a closet full of original 'Trek and 'Wars toys that I can't ever find the time to list on eBay. My other great passion is Bruce Springsteen, and I really miss Woolworth's. I guess that sort of sums me up.
I've successfully recruited my boss and his wife, now I'm working on the really excellent young man who works for us. I have no doubt he'll succomb, although he hated Brazil, which I thought would become his favorite movie ever. So I guess we'll see...
I spent my youth wishing Star Trek would come back one day. Spent college waiting for more Star Wars. Hope to spend not too much more of my middle age awaiting the return of the most wonderful universe ever.
Hi.
Walk tall, or don't walk at all...

Well said, and welcome!
You've captured the unique feeling of dicovering the 'verse...

Yepper. It's like the Sereni-Tree: open a
door and find way, way more on the other side
than you expected.
CAROLJUDE #20837 It's hard to imagine how
many new members we've acquired in a mere
month. (Is anybody listening??) Keep those
new recruits coming into this lovely 'Verse.
KINGKILLER #21748 already. Oh, so shiny.
Spread the word, the love...
Strawberries for all. I bought 'em with
cashy money which turned up in the par-tay
thread, so you needn't worry that I had to
use my Persephonian cosh on some innocent
skull. Or even a semi-guilty one. &¿&
Then come to the galley and bask in the glow.

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.
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!

Hmm , mei-mei , xie-xie , for the whiskey ! Love that Irish from E-T-W , Bushmills particularly , but Jameson's is fine too ! Not excitable as to choice , just as long as there's some choosin' to be done !
The promos that I recall were set to the Smashmouth tune , ' Walking On The Sun ' . Anybody happen to have the promos on tape ? Or better still , perhaps someone fanvid-ly talented could re-create something exactly similar , so the nameless network could remain infamously nameless . We need something like that on YouTube or iFilm or googleVideo ( No ! How about all 3 ? ) . Gotta call up all the 'Coats in the verse .
I started to try recalling the lyrics to the song , to re-capture the feel of the time , and did a search and found this little snippet :
And they folked out with guitars around a bon fire
Just singin' and clappin' man what the hell happened
Some were spell bound some were hell bound
Some they fell down and some got back up and
Fought back 'gainst the melt down
It instantly evoked that scene on Haven with Kaylee by fireflight , which warms my heart and sets my guts on fire !
And , concerning the shiniest folk in the verse , I second that emotion ! Shiny we are . And so gorram pretty !
Thanks for the BigDamn Browncoat welcome , and now that I'm tipsy with the whiskey , may I have another ? I'll buy this round , here's one for you and all the shiny folk around the fire .

I'm a new member I only joined a week ago and already enjoying the company of fellow Browncoats.And what's this about Followmal giving new members virtual Browncoats,cause I want one.
After watching Serenity in the cinema when it came out I was instantly hooked,I've now got the Serenity soundtrack,Serenity DVD,Serenity UMD,Firefly DVD Box Set(yeah now that's what I'm talking about),and the Firefly soundtrack.

Wow, more shiny new folks! I'm sorry for the delay in greeting, but I'm packing to leave on vacation, so I'll also need to be a little brief. 
Welcome to the new folks Kelkhil, Tasia, Kingkiller and CarolJude! Welcome to your new internet home! Please accept a glass of Irish whiskey to sip. 
Wow, we such a diverse group. I just love it! 
Out2theBlack: Thanks kindly for the offer to buy, here's your Bushmills. I take a Tullimore Dew.
Darkfly: I dunno where FollowMal's gotten to, she's been kinda busy the past month or so. you'll get one...just as soon as she finds you.
