Every Sunday we gather in the AIM room Firefly and thumb our noses at the special hell while watching episodes together.

We start at about 18:00 GMT - you can find the time in your city at http://xrl.us/tgxz
There may be additional earlier vshins soon: http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=22881

Serenity (the DBM) comes up in discussion every now and then, so don't join if you want to stay spoiler free.

Software: If you're running on GNU/Linux or Windows you can try the gaim client at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/downloads.php and if you're running MacOS try iChat or http://www.adiumx.com

Account: If you don't have an AIM account yet you can get one at http://www.aim.com by clicking on the "Don't have a screen name? Get one FREE" link.

Invite yourself to the Firefly room, or if you're struggling just send a message to ImJacksNickname or mrskborg asking for an invite.

If you're using gaim: go to the "Buddy List" window, "Buddies", "Join a chat...", put Firefly in the room input box, and click the "Join" button.

If you're using AOL's AIM client: go to the "Buddy List" window, select "People", select "Send Chat Ivitation", in the "screen names to invite" field put your screen name as well as any friends you'd like to invite, in the "Chat room" field type Firefly

If you don't have your DVDs or tapes handy, feel free to join us anyway for a chat.

Note to self: update the time link after DLS switches.

After a proposal by Shiny http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=5409#66949 that flans join an instant message room and watch episodes together, we had our very first vshin on 2004-06-01. We've been going strong for 2 years, and Sunday 2006-06-04's vshin will be the start of year 3. The threads:

It sounds like the coolest thing - to virtually watch with all of you from all over the world! I would join you but, that would be 4am on a Monday morning for me and I kinda have a job... if I ever find myself not sleeping I will check in and just enjoy the moment - though I suspect I will be in a 'special kind of hell' at 8am when I start work!!

Magdalene, if you can organize some flans from Oz, NZ, Japan, etc.; y'all can do your vshin in the same room a couple of hours before we do ours. Be sure to post what you watched and how it went in this here thread.

Thanks Jack - apart from anything else you honour me by thinking I can do that... which makes me think I will have to learn how to do that!!!!!

I'll let you know what comes of it!

Love - Magdalene x x

I just want to chime in and say how much fun the Sunday VShindigs are. You get to meet and chat with fellow Browncoats, discuss plot points and your impressions of the show, and of course watching an episode or two is a great way to pass a Sunday morning/afternoon/evening (depending on your time zone).

Yeah, but not boring like I just made it sound!
