1) Bring home Browncoat clothing from B3 (e.g. "Bunkmate" T-shirt and Browncoat cap).
2) Show photos of Nathan at con and from on-line
3) Watch Serenity pilot.

That's all it took.
(She just kvelled when she saw a picture of me and Nathan with his arm around my shoulder--[I do have to learn how t post my photos and videos on-line one day....)].

And when she's talked to her (sigh) many boyfriends, they all think I'm "the coolest Dad" for being a Firefly/Serenity fan.

Which only makes me rise higher in my daughter's estimation.

Respectfully,
Happy Dad History

It's all good.

Not possible for me as I don't have a daughter, or a son for that matter.

The result is that I'm searching for a suitable female biological donor with which to conduct genetic fusion experiments...

Very, very shiny! Now you can do family Browncoat events...take her to a Con or two and really get her immersed in the 'Verse!
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Sigh...my daughter just looks at me funny as I quote lines with my husband. She just don't get it I guess, but there's hope yet!

Becareful showing her "Trash". She might go crazy and become a Fillionaire.

LOL

She's just turned 18.
If she continues to watch through all the intervening episodes, I'll let her watch Trash (one of my favorites)
I just love Christina Hendricks...something for everybody, I guess...though if I said this in front of her, she'd say:
Daughter: "Dad. Don't be gross. You're old."
Me: "But not dead."
Daughter: :rollseyes:

Hmmm. If this goes well, maybe I can get her to go on the Browncoat Cruise next year?

History

P.S. Now to convert her mother....though I think this might be hopeless (she even has blue dishwashing gloves)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Agh! We can't know that! *shudders*

Your sharing of FF fandom sounds almost like a
Desperate Housewives story line. Especially
the cruise aspect. One only imagines what will
happen on a cruise if it's evening soapy-vision.
The wife is home with her gloves on...

The narrator(-ess) VO: We want our daughters to
bond with their fathers, because we've been told
it will make their adult relationships healthier.
We'd rather they would bond over something that
didn't leave us completely cold....

The same thing happened to me in a way. She dragged me to the BDM. I kept complaining that I really didn't like SciFi, despite sorta liking Star Trek and Star Wars.

I saw the movie and I was in love with the 'verse. I'm now a bigger Browncoat than she is.

BTW where do you get the Bunkmate T-shirts?
