hi there,
i just signed up and wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself to all you other fans of the 'verse. i guess i'm quite an exception in that i am german (after all, the show only ever aired (in part) in the states). i came across firefly and serenity via a dvd review in empire i think it was, about half a year back. i checked out the official site after reading the review, got instantly hooked, ordered the dvds of both firefly and serenity, and got even more hooked. i don't know how often i have watched the show now, too often perhaps, but i am not sick of it yet. i even got my younger brother into it too (well, a bit at least). now i have taken the final step to geekiness (no offense) and signed up to a fan-board. here i am. hope we get along well.

Welcome to the verse rainstick! Glad to have another join our ranks. I think Followmal should be around some time to get you your virtual browncoat!

Wie gehts! (I hope that's right, it's been a while for mein Deutsche...)

Of course we'll get along well. You love Firefly, we love Firefly, it's like paradise!

So let your inner geek flag fly!

Welcome - it's good to have new browncoats around, especialy if it means we are expanding our range into Germany!

Look forward to 'seeing' you around.

EDIT - just checked and you are not alone! there was a 'thank you' uploaded at http://www.bigdamnthankyou.com/cgi-bin/country.pl?country=DE

Shiny! We have very few German members, it is true, but sometimes they're about. Very happy to see you join our ranks!

Welcome Aboard, Rainstick,
It's always fun to hear how different people came across Firefly and Serenity. It's also fun to hear that more people are learning about the 'Verse around the world. Just so you know, you won't find anyone on this site that feels you can ever watch too much Firefly. We watch the episodes over and over.

We're glad you found your way to FFF.net. If you ever need anything, just get on the Cortex and send us a wave. There is always someone around.

I made a web site to introduce my friends to the 'Verse.

Welcome Rainstick!

You aren't alone; there are several Germans who post regularly here. I know Esther is German. She pops in and out sometimes.

Have fun here- we're a friendly bunch. We look forward to seeing you in the threads!

There's lots of other Firefly stuff besides the series and movie. Check out the unfilmed script "Dead or Alive", the viral videos, the fanfics here and on stillflying.net, the books...

i'm from near dortmund (100-120 km east of Cologne). a side note on that: when i saw the alliance cruiser named "Dortmunder" in the first firefly episode i was quite surprised. didn't expect a spaceship in an american tv series that was set in a universe dominated by a sino-american alliance to be named after a german city. funny that.
but at the moment i'm in london actually, studying.
