Welcome Qinggai/Qingai and Hildy! In case no one else has told you yet, all newbies have to convert at least 5 new browncoats, or else undergo the "hazing ritual" (hint: it involves blue gloves...)

Good. Thanks for the update.

Yup, people on this site are so nice! I really want to thank everyone for all the welcomes on the thread I posted a couple of days ago, too (I had never started a thread before!). And it's neat to meet so many other new Firefly fans. What a great time and place to be a Browncoat!

You're hilarious. Sadist.

I just love how we Canadians always get so excitied about finding eachother. Canada is shiny!

Thanks for the welcome, Shiny!

5 new browncoats, huh? Well, I'm working on at least one right now. He's so not a Buffy/Angel fan, but I think he'd really like Firefly.

And my little sis, who is a Buffy/Angel fan, is a very likely convert as well.

Ah, spreadin the love of the Whedonverse is a lovely thing!

Keep spreading the word on Firefly Qingai. We need all the Browncoats we can get to make the movie a success and see a return of the series.

Been watching the show since The Train Job. Still haven't gotten the DVDs, since I'm in gorram Ottawa (i.e., everything not sports- or politics-related just doesn't bother coming here ), but they're on the to-buy list. Y'know, when I have money.

Originally hooked (late) on Buffy, then Angel, by now it's just a general Joss-fanness. And hey, being a beginning writer myself, I can call it continuing education.

Y'know, every board has its own character. This place is nicely casual and laid back. It'll make a nice respite from the nuthouses I usually frequent.

Ottawa! Wow, a person from my corner of the world. I'm originally from Renfrew and I never find people on the 'net from around Ottawa. Way cool. Very Shiny. And a fellow writer too. Wow.

I also got into Buffy and Angel late, but the Jossverse has enveloped me and I bask in its fabulousness.

Woa.... I was starting to think I was the only Browncoat in the Ottawa area.

Hi, welcome! I have created a total of 6 fans, still quite a low number, but I find it dificult to convince people to give it a chance. After the first ep each of them has been hooked, and all very irritated at me that I made them watch a show that was canceled and they can't have more. They get over it pretty quick however. They realize its kind of like the theory on love "It's better to have loved (Firefly) and lost (Firefly) then never to have loved (Firefly) at all" I like it better this way. But now that we have a movie... I am glad it is no longer befitting.

Also, none of them can figure out how it was that they didn't know it was on tv. Then I explain the Marketing Genuis of Fox.

Buffy and Angel are also shows that I have a hard time getting people to try out, even after they have become fans of Firefly. I also got into both Buffy and Angel late, if FX hadn't had a Buffy marathon one boring Thanksgiving day, I'm not sure I ever would have entered the Jossverse, as my fandom of those two shows drew me to Firefly in the first place. My boyfriend wasn't at all pleased with my buffy marathon watching, since we had rented a condo at the beach and I stayed in all day watching tv while he actually went out to play...I wonder if that's why we broke up...so just kidding!

Giles: No, it's not working out.
Buffy: Giles, are you breaking up with your car?
Giles: Well, it did seduce me, all red and sporty!
Buffy: Little two-door tramp.
