Hey there Slumming...

I had to reply publicly on this one, though I've made attempts to reply privately to all for keeping me envigorated with life and newness with something I felt i was personally running into the ground (one can only watch those episodes and the movie alone too many times without some repercussions, I'm sure... and reply back perosnally if my replies didn't get back to you) but you said:

"First, you watch. Then, you re-watch again and again. Then, you start talking about the ideas of the show with random folks on the street as well as fellow fans. Then, before you can quite stop yourself, you venture into the world of fanfic as a reader. And lastly (and here's the warning in my message), the story takes on a life of its own in your head and you find yourself sitting in front of a keyboard, your fingers tapping out a tale of your own. And you know what? We'll be right here eagerly waiting to read it when that happens!"

So I assume you've taken the route of continuing where things had left off, in terms or writing script-wise? Mighty intensive a task you'd be taking on, but if so, I'm curious (since I'm new still) how others have incorporated their own interpretations into fiction (which I'm assuming you meant)...

And how do the writers of Firefly and Serenity feel.. especially (crossing fingers.. I can't be the only only one) hoping there may be a unqiue sequel within the next decade of this century.....?

And my reply to Cellardoor, I have to say:

"Thank you for my honorary, yet beat up round the 'verse browncoat.. might shiny of you, if I do say so myself! I wouldn't mind having a browncoat like that someday..."

I will admit, I'm not much of a "western" fan.... and yet I bet there are just as many "western" fans out there who might say "ya know, I never thought I'd be much into a sci-fi" show.. and yet here we are... a nice combination...

Intellectionally.. there is enough to satisfy both, in every episode, I've seemed to have found. Everything from the holographic pooltable and windows, to the most unique moment of "Ariel" with the brain scan.. and yet still boiling down to "low down dirty rotten greed"... with a "perfect" ending to that episode if I do say so myself...

Thank you all for such good support and reponse.. It has kept my week a float during turbulent times as of late...

Cheers..

I sent you a personal mail, but I suspect you're the Rosie I remember from Done The Impossible stating "When you go to a Shindig, it's like going to a family gathering of people you haven't met yet..." please let me know if I'm right....

That's right! It's still true. I highly recommend going to a Con, my favorite is DragonCon in Atlanta.

So shindigs of sorts are still happening? Shiny! I've *gotta* watch Done the Impossible! Since I haven't actually seen the BDM yet (I wanted to finish the series first), should I wait until after I've seen that to watch Done the Impossible?

I would love to go to a Con... but large crowds kinda intimidate me. Plus, Cons sound 'spensive. DragonCon is the closest to me geographically though, so it's cool to hear it's a highly praised one.

Think other BDHs in addition to Ron Glass will attend it this year? I mean, I hear he's funny enough on his own, but that's a big investment...! Of course, I could visit other tracks as well I suppose. After all, I've invested in plenty of other fandoms over the years. :P

There are shindigs a plenty.

Check www.bigdamnboard.com

It's a directory for all things Firefly including communities such as yahoogroups or meetups.

The southeast browncoats run the fan booth for Dragon Con. Usually there are 2 BDHs. Won't know who until last minute. But I go for the chance to meet east coast Browncoats.

I do recommend watching Serenity before Done the Impossible due to spoilers.

Welcome aboard, the Serenity trip continues.

Ya know, I have notifications from this site to my phone, and I have to say, it's nice to suddenly see another response or personal message (though haven't figured out if you can excahnge private mail here or not) but it actually brings a smile to my face, sitting some random bar or cafe and suddenly... there's a message.

It's a refreshing "ah, I'm not alone in the 'verse" sort of feeling.

I suppose one could say, it makes me feel shiny.

Sadly, on the note of the cons, I'm low on cash (I sound like a member on the crew of Serenity.. heh heh) so flying to cons etc are somewhat difficult I reckon during these "blissfully" troubling money times... I am beginning to wonder if there are other browncoats around the Philadelphian area. I have run into some dead ends on the ol' Cortex... but maybe my message will continue on to others nearby.

And my advise is also: Watch Serenity before Done The Impossible. Even the wonderfully customized "warning" at the beginning of the DVD kinda says it all... [laughing]

LOL I know the feeling. I was just getting off work when I read your notification. :)

You are definitely not alone. Have you tried the mid-atlantic browncoats yahoo group?

Keep Flyin'
