Shiny!! Thank you so much for sharing!

BTW, if it hasn't already been mentioned, the metal bendy things that hold the pages together are probably 'brads'!

Mal:We're still flying.
Simon: That's not much.
Mal: It's enough.

A propos of nothing in this thread: Welcome to the board!

I love what you've done with River's (well actually Kaylee's, I suspect) ball and jacks. That was my favorite piece of symbolism from the show...

Respectfully,

zoid

Thank you so much for sharing your treasured posession in all it's glory - I agree with Red haired Girl (I think it was her) who said that it felt like we'd actually seen it for ourselves!

BTW - you might be interested to know that as a trained and experienced actor I always write what I feel the character was going to say after a 'cut off line'. It is the only way you can naturally deliver a line that you know is going to be 'interrupted'. I am sure that this is what Adam was doing when he added to his line early on in the script. If an actor tries to speak a line with no intention of continuing past the point he/she expects to be interrupted then it never works - sounds stilted and almost as bad a sin as turning to answer a telephone that hasn't rung yet.... and believe me, I've seen them both happen!!!

Thank you again for so generously sharing! We love that a genuine Browncoat won the bidding!

Love, Magdalena x x x

Wow, thanks for providing specific details about your win. That was really fascinating, it also makes me wish that I could've bid on it. I swear husbands are a pain in the neck sometimes. im glad that you are goin to keep it somewhere safe. enjoy it!

Oh man, that is soooo shiny! many many congratulations on winning, and you're really generous to share all the titbits from Adam's jottings! Now if only I weren't a penniless student I'd have outbid you (honest).
Congratulations again, and enjoy!

Goslings! They were juggled!

To all and sundry,

Thank you so much for all the kind remarks.

In earnest, I debated a long time before deciding to post anything about winning the auction. I thought it might stir up jealousy and ill feelings, especially if anyone else here at FFF was in the bidding.

But instead you have made me feel all Kayleed. Browncoats really are the best!

Here's a shout out to MakesUsMighty, my colleague and bestest Browncoat buddy, and the other two 'coats who had the fun of being present at the "grand opening" of the package from Adam. MuM was supportive about my going public, so you all owe him a nod.

We're all very glad you decided to share. It isn't often that people that don't win bidding are given the treat of enjoying the thing they lost. And to those of us without a dream of ever being able to afford something like that, it's especially sweet. It was a beautiful surprise and we're all glad you shared. I think that the jealousy you expected was not in evidence because you obviously were not gloating about winning the auction. (Not that we'd blame you for it, though!) I know more than half of us would be doing the "I've seen so much death" dance and the other half would be squeeing if it had been us. Lots and lots of squeeing.

I'd certainly take measures to preserve it. You spent an awful lot of money on it and taking precautions will keep your script safe and sound.

-----

On a side note, it's been some time since I've been watching my DVDs and ran into a music video on Morri's MySpace done to the tune of "I need a Hero". Odd how the small things remind you of how truly excellent our show was.

*digs out the DVDs once again*
