Hi

I've been a fan of Firefly for a couple of years now but never felt the need to come online and post (Although I did use some guerilla marketing lol lifetime ban from my local 'Global Video' store!)

The reason I decided to join and post (took me a couple of days what with the holidays) was because,

I watched the complete Firefly series, followed by Serenity at christmas and this has never happened before but I've got the Firefly blues and I can't seem to shift it.

Previously when I've watched Firefly or Serenity I have felt bad with the thought that there may not be anymore, but nothing like this. I tried to think of anything else it might be, but I can only trace it back this. Plus I know it's Firefly as that's all I'm thinking about. I just feel helpless I can't do more. I've never wanted to be a billionaire more lol at least then I could start a new channel just for Firefly.

So I was wondering if anyone here had any tricks or suggestions that they use to calm the Firefly blues, something that can help me too lol. It's been 10 days! lol

Hi Ayceofspades: yeah, I feel your pain...and I just discovered Firefly this past year in August AFTER seeing Serenity on HBO. Well, what can I tell you; the only thing that helps with the FFB's is to visit this board, get involved in the "vote for firefly"...yeah, yeah I KNOW it doesn't mean much but it's SOMETHING to do, dammit. I've even surprised myself (and those who know me!) by joining up with the 76th Independent Army Battalion that will have its first ever march this coming Labor Day at DragonCon in Atlanta! Another thing that could help you; join the SciFi forums (it's free)... and post regularly; there's a move to push for SciFi running Firefly (in the CORRECT order) as a summer replacement. (SciFi HAS run Firefly marathons).. I think this year the actors contracts to do another movie run out...so a letter or two to Universal couldn't hurt. That's all I can help ya with...not much, I know but maybe it's enough.

You're doing it right now. Welcome to the torment. Start yourself a "new browncoat" thread--FollowMal will show and award you your browncoat, and lots of shiny folk will happen it to say, "Hi."

I have just the thing: http://www.stillflying.net

They're a group of very talented writers that have gotten together and (in tv script format) picked up the series and tried to imagine "what might have been" had the show continued.

Simply stated they do an excellent job. I'm not a big fanfic person, but this is different - it's really the next best thing to the real deal. They just finished a 2 parter for season 2, eps 13 and 14, that was great. Give it a try!

AYCEOFSPADES, I can't help feel that your post makes me think of the scene in the Serenity pilot eps.The scene where Mal is looking over Serenity Valley as the Alliance battle crusers demolish the independent army. Yepper it's a sad feeling and it's one that many of us share. That's where our strength lies. Browncoats united. Coming here and posting helps. Getting involved in different things help. there is an emptyness that won't go away but it can be dulled by not facing it alone. Ask questions and spread the SHINY world of the verse. It may help more that you think. Good luck.

PS: SISTER had a good idea also. Go to the Si/Fi channel forum for Firefly and get involved there. There's more browncoats goodiness.

Reading this might help.

It's sort of missing episode, script was written but never filmed. Also try some of the fanfics. For example:

The author of the above suggests watching westerns and using your imagination to embellish them. Like pretend they're robbing a hover train instead of steam locomotive.

Hello Ayceofspades:

I realise you are sad about the short life Firefly had. The reason this website exists is to promote the return of the show and to discuss the episodes that exist.

Just as Serenity attracted a crew and passengers of different personalities, so does this site. If you become active here you will find we are not a bad group to get to know. So Firefly has gone beyond the show. It has brought people together from all types of backgrounds. And now it has found you.

Welcome Ayceofspades. Learn about the people who share the Firefly experience.

First let me give you a hug.

*hug*

Sharing and spreading the word helps. Talking to other Browncoats helps.

Have you watched Done The Impossible? The fan documentary of our struggle from Friefly to Serenity?

Its great because it shows you are not alone.
