Welcome aboard Ifurita (or do you prefer Sarah?). We're glad to have you here posting with us and hope you come to call FFF.net your online home.
Good to hear you are hooked on Firefly. Be sure to get yourself a copy of the series on dvd so you can enjoy the episodes anytime you want and you can also listen to the commentaries.
Once you are done w/ the series pick up a copy of the Collector's Edition of the movie "Serenity" so you can see what the crew was up to after the series.
There is also the comic graphic novel, "Those Left Behind". This story by Joss will fill in the gap between the series and the movie for you.
Look forward to chatting with you here. Be sure to share Firefly with everyone you know.

Yeah...Firefly's OK....I guess 
Gorram problem is that soon you won't want to watch anything else.

Sarah, your post had me in tears, because that's exactly how I felt when I discovered Firefly (after the trailer for Serenity came online in April '05).

There's a wonderful podcast called Firefly Talk < http://fireflytalk.libsyn.com/> that will surely get you up to speed!

Okay, with that out of the way, Do not fear us! Ours is a peaceful board, and we must live in harmony! :) Okay, with THAT out of the way, welcome aboard! And yes, I love Saffron for her... mind... too. Haha! Mine is an evil laugh! (well, let's face it, she's really hot). Ok, I would appreciate it if one person on this boat would not assume I'm an evil, lecherous hump! :)
Seriously, though, we all love the 'Verse and those, uhm, who love the 'Verse! Some would say that makes us a mite whimsical in the brainpan. I say we're okay, though: some people juggle geese. :)

I'm sure that you'll like this forum, Ifurita. The peeps here are real shiny 
I'm sort of like you- I don't get cable, so I only discovered the wonderful 'verse by Serenity, and then watched the box set of DVD's. Jongsstraw was right- pretty soon Firefly is all you wanna watch. But I wish I was there from the beginning.
As to what to do- go to the home page and look through the threads. Not all of them are strictly about Firefly, and are spoiler-free. I recomend the Browncoat Bar&Grill, Fifty-first floor, and The League of Psychic Nutcases; these are just fun threads where everyone is all wacky and the only must is to have fun.
There's also a Vote for Firefly thread, that gives you a site where you can vote and vump. To explain terms in there, vump means to vote and then bump up the thread, and bote means to bump first, then vote. And people also have fun in there, and every so often we get statistics from several shiny peeps .
So look around, have fun, and welcome!

Welcome Ifurita!
I guess that'll teach you to listen to your friends when they recommend something ;) (just kidding).
I love reading what the newbies say and having them join in our little obsession.
Someone recommended Done the Impossible, I second that idea www.donetheimpossible.com
Also some versey music you will like:
Bedlam Bards www.bedlambards.com
Persephone Pickers http://www.myspace.com/persephonepickers
Miranda's end http://mirandasend.com/
Most of the CDs can be picked up at CD Baby
If you attend DragonCon or Comic Con you will meet up with MANY Browncoats with whom you can share your Firefly thoughts with in person. Until then, of course, there's here :)
I aim to misbehave!

Ni hao and welcome
We need to get Anony1 in here. She can give you a giant list of Firefly related merchandise and ongoing projects.
But I would concur with whoever suggested you watch all the DVDs first. Folks here can drop a spoiler and not even realize it.
Once you get your DVD set, make sure you watch the bonus features. You will find out that we're not the only fans of the show. The actors, writers and everyone connected with Firefly were deeply in love with it too. I think their dedication to the project shines through.
I would also like to put in a word of warning -- if you watch the series first and then the movie, you might be in for a suprise. The movie is extremely exciting and action-packed and COMPLETELY different than the show. The storyline even deviates slightly. But the extras are awesome, as has been mentioned.
Fireflyfans.net is extremely friendly. Everyone here is very helpful and respectful. I think you'll be right at home here.
See you around.
