Welcome, Sintwar and Stannis!

You're going through the same set of feelings as the rest of us here, so don't feel like you're in this all alone. The Browncoats can see each other through anything. Seriously.

All we can do now is share the word about Firefly/Serenity with as many people as possible. The fan base keeps growing exponentially. Eventually they'll have to take notice.

And with the holiday season fast approaching, you know what to put under your friends' and family's tree, now don't you?

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

Welcome, Stannis. Yes, our Captain Mal (Nathan Fillion) comes from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Right now there is a campaign to raise money for his birthday next March. The gifts will benefit the Fringe Theatre Adventures (FTA) at Edmonton. FollowMal has a thread set up that tells more about it and the "Good Works -Keep the Fringe Flying" project. http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=25233

Good story, Stannis. I agree about most series, but this one is mighty.

Welcome, Stintwar, from one recent convert to another. I found Firefly recently, too, altho I rented Serenity this summer and liked it. Took me a bit longer to discover Firefly - and, like the rest of the folks here, very quickly became enchanted with the world of the 'verse.

I've never joined any kind of fanclub before either. It's a great place to hang out. They're a great bunch of folks. They'll be offering you strawberries, mudder's milk and a Browncoat of your own pretty soon - if they haven't already.

Thanks for sharing your most shiny story.

This is a big thank you to Ember for filling me in on the unmade script it's hilarious. Now I want even more.

Wow that was a lot of response! :)

Well, I have never been much of a forum junkie myself, but I thought it was pretty funny how it all played out.

Thanks for the welcome, and I will be happy to back you all up when the feds start sniffin around.

Welcome! My story is somewhat similar to yours--watched the movie first, though in the theatre, thought it was okay, then a friend sat me down and made me watch the show...and it grew on me like a fungus. A really GOOD fungus! This is the first fan group I've participated in, and it's a great experience. I've even written fan fiction now...something that never occurred to me to do before! I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here.

Um, sure'n he does, but he didn't do the effects on Firefly. You're thinking of Zoic. Same people who are currently working on Battlestar Galactica.

(Zoid is a poster around here. Haven't seen him in a while though, he get pinched by the feds or something?)

Ahh welcome! You're one lucky to have gotten firefly for free! And to not even know what it was!

Oh is my face red! I got Zoid (one of our fireflyfans) mixed up with Zoic (the genius special effects people, I actually got to meet someone from Zoic at a convention and they did a great presentation)

oops
(thanks for the correction)
