Dun is a troll? I mean he has a lot of incoherent days and "lost mah glasses" can't see to type days, but I wouldn't call him a troll...

More "leprechaunish" than troll, but they're both green, so I can see why you're confused...

Ok let's try this again!

Heyo! Somewhat new here. FYI a "bump" isa post in a discussion thread that is meant to drive the thread up to the top of the forum menu.

A troll is a despicable creature that posts inflammatory comments in a forum thread with the sole purpose of eliciting an emotional response. Do not give in to the urge to try to correct the troll. Just warn your fellow Browncoats, and back away slowly. Oh...don't ever make eye contact neither...

Har har har! Mine is an evil laugh!

Ni hao!

I've been a huge Firefly fan since the first days of the series, but never got involved in the fandom during the heydey years, mostly because I was nose-deep in Real Life and couldn't risk falling down the shiny, shiny rabbit hole!

A couple of months back now, a good friend was visiting from far-out-of-state, and got to commiserating with me and my hubby about how much we loved our respective Firefly table-top campaigns, and how much we missed them once they were over. That somehow progressed to a general carping about how we'd never seen Firefly fandom go the route of early Trek 'zine fandom -- the whole "create a ship/create a crew/write and draw about their adventures for the club 'zine" routine -- and how if we'd ever seen a Firefly group like that, we would have begged, pleaded, and sold our firstborns to join. Well... the thoughtworm got firmly planted... and we wound up doing just that -- we've created our own ship, our own crew, and now we're writin' & drawin' about their adventures.

It feels kinda strange to go this OC Firefly direction, so many years after the series and film! But we're having a blast with it -- a turtle-paced blast. :)

I'd really love to find a willing beta reader (or two! or three!), and would love to share 'Verse world-building-detail resources with other writers... Some of us involved in this are detail-wanks and really enjoy the fiddly-little details, so I'd love to have other fans to bounce ideas off of, and to help me keep my own fics sounding like they take place in the 'Verse.

(Like... the question I've been fretting over the most the past week: who does a Firefly refuel? Gaming resources and the Serenity pilot say it's a fuel cell system, but the Serenity Blueprints look like a liquid fuel system...)

Captain Bet Cooper,
Firefly Transport Jin Dui

Welcome Captain Cooper! Looks like you've started a new thread about your ship, so I'll go visit on that one.

Hello,

nice to have found this place. Only discovered Firefly late last year. Bought the DVD box for my Dad... and well... you can imagine the rest.

Have only just finished watching the series the second time, so looking forward to the next one, I'm sure I've missed some moments.
(that, btw, is the sign of a good show... when one's looking forward to the 3rd viewing. not many of those around)

Anyhow.. just wanted to say ev'nin' to all, hope you all have a good time.

Best
Luds
