So I'd been hearing about this show tv show named Firefly for quite some time. How it had been cancelled and all that jazz. I actually saw Serenity a few years ago not realizing that the two were connected. Well, I decided to watch the tv series on netflix last night. I ended up watching all 14 episodes through the night, with only bathroom or food/drink breaks in between. I finally realize why people were so pissed about this show being cancelled. Its a frickin' masterpiece! I've officially been converted to Firefly fandom!

At least you finally found us, that's better than not. Welcome aboard the best boat in the 'verse. There's plenty of room left, and I'm sure there will be a few others coming along even later than you, so best to find a bunk and settle in.

Luckily the Firefly party is one that keeps going... and going... and going...
I think it has something to do with being a classic, iconic, incredible show. Oh, and the open bar. Gotta love that open bar...
Welcome! So glad you found the best show in the 'Verse, and this shiny place with such shiny folks.

Welcome aboard!
I just got here a couple weeks ago myself. I only found Firefly and Serenity about four months ago, on Netflix like you! I am totally obsessed, like with no other show in my rather long life time. I watch an episode every day, finish with the movie and start all over again. haha Yeah...obsessed.
I have begun collecting the books based on the series. It's easy to find 'em on Amazon. Just type in Joss Whedon and/or Firefly and look around. There are some other great sites in the Cortex oh, I mean Internet. haha Just type in any or all of the appropriate words and search. Another thing I have really enjoyed is watching the interviews and panel discussions with the actors found on YouTube, especially at DragonCon. All of these guys are hi-larious and informative. Just go to YouTube and type in Firefly, Serenity and then try all the actors names. Jewel Staite (my favorite) has a ton of stuff on YouTube. Jewel and also Nathan have blogs and Twitter accounts you can read. I have files of this stuff in my Bookmarks and regularly dip into them to get my fix. hahaha
Well, anyway, that's been my approach. I would be more specific with titles and Internet addresses but there are just too many. With a little leg work you can find 'em easy.

Firefly/Serenity is enjoying a very lively extended existence. Yes, there are comics, plus novels, and excellent behind-the-scenes "companion" books and a Serenity Role Playing Game, and extension books. There's also lots of cool licensed merchandise.
If you'd like to buy books through Amazon, then I recommend using the link on the homepage of this website. When you purchase items through the Fireflyfans.net Amazon store a certain percentage of the money goes to supporting this website but you don't pay any more than buying the regular way.
For ultra awesome licensed Firefly/Serenity merchandise, just mosey on over to the QMx website... lots o' goodies to be found: http://store.qmxonline.com/_c_1.html
Have fun.

Welcome! 
My wife and I have been going to Dragon*Con since 2006 because of the 'Verse. For a short lived TV show canceled 8 years ago, there is a lot of Firefly/Serenity paraphernalia still there, even if it is someone of another fandom wearing a Firefly lanyard!

I recommend the Signal (podcast) http://signal.serenityfirefly.com/mmx/season/view.php/1
this is season 1 (they've just finished season 6), and there's lots of other cool audio stuff (incl original audio plays set in the 'verse) available from their website
Let us know if you are unfamiliar with podcasts; we'll be glad to he'p.
