Reflections On My First Two Weeks as a Fireflyfans.net Member
Saturday, 28 July 2007 00:57:07

Wow! Been an exciting two weeks. Uploaded my stories I've been writing, some pics too, got my hands slapped a little for causing a flood, heard lots of nice comments from fans who enjoy my stuff. Has it only been two weeks since I joined this site? Seems like forever. Lessons learned so far: 1. Don't add more than one item per day..or week. Seems I didn't follow the unwritten rules (maybe they are written but I didn't see them). Ticked off a few fans out there. Didn't like it, but maybe I deserved it. They peck hard around here! 2. Don't expect a lot of comments. I have had quite a few, and most have been nice, but I thought there would be more. The most comments I got were for the above mentioned transgression. 3. Not everyone's fanfic follows the logic of the TV show or movie. Some are just down right creepifying. Jayne and Kaylee? Even Jewel Staite said in her latest blog on her myspace page that that one made her want to barf. 4. Take your time writing and editing things. I tried to post a few things too hastily after writing them. When I read them on the site a few days later I found lots of mistakes and things I wanted to change. Thankfully, this site allows authors to edit their work, which is fantastic. 5. Take a break from this site once in a while. I've found myself logging on three, four, five times day. It ain't healthy. Meaning I have a job, family, and other things to do and this thing takes a lot of my time. Like writing this blog. Hmmmmm. Why did this show ever get cancelled? Gets under your skin. That's it for now. I really do have to work, to get money, to pay the bills, to plan my assault on Fox Studios HQ...oops, did that slip out! Long live the Browncoats!

Hi All. I'm out at the SCA madhouse known as the Pennsic War. I've been needing something like this as I'm been getting more & more depressed. Hugs to you all!

What I love about this site

I had been looking a while for a site of browncoats to share my love for firefly/serenity with for a while when I by chance happened on this site. I know I haven't been here long but in the short time I've found that the browncoats here are far more than amazing. I've read so many great stories (some of which have made me cry), I've seen great works of art inspired by our BDH and just met some really cool people. You all are so nice and welcoming :) I figure we have another bunch of BDHs right here. Each fighting their own battles and uniting to spread the signal. Joss should be proud of the fireflyfans.net browncoats. We aim to misbehave
