Well, I guess it's one of those topics that we're always interested in. And the way I see it, Nathan's niceness and the genuine care he takes with fans just adds to the appeal of the whole Firefly/Serenity phenomenon.

Thank Nathan! I was jonesing.

I had some news that is all sorts of interestin' for you Appreciatin Nathan girls. Since serenitymovie.org's down, I'll post my news here!

I spoke to Aria at Moonlight Rising. She said that we CAN give Nathan a card during the autograph session!!!

I promised nothing huge, just 8 1/2 x 11. So Vanessa and I will be doing that.

YAY! So if we want to either mail that birthday card or just hold onto it till June, we can. Or we can do something else from us AppreciatinNanthanites. OR we can do both and Vanessa'll give him one and I'll give him the other. We'll hold each other's cameras and take pics.

*puts on eye patch*
ARGH! We've hijacked the FireflyFans board with the AppreciatinNathanites!

Wait.

Now I can see Nathan better.

LMAO. This is fantastic. BTW, Vanessa=me.

I think we should do both the bday card and something new, and have all the Appreciators sign the second one. He'll love it.

We were doing one from Serenitymovie.org's Appreciatin Nathan thread.

I've already promised to do that one and I've promised to only give Nathan one thing. This has been discussed since last week sometime?

I really hate to say no, but I did make commitments and I don't want to overstep my bounds. People are being exceedingly nice and I refuse to take advantage of that. Aria's a sweetheart and I refuse to go too far and push my luck.

I'm very sorry.

BUT you are more than welcome to come over to the AN thread and join us!

And no, Haken, we'll still post here too!

That, and his "niceness and genuine care" is reflected in the mood of the thread, so it's always a nice place to visit. (Not to mention the pretty pretty pictures...)

Hey, all Nathan Appreciators!

If the Browncoat Board is still down tonight, we will try to gather here on this thread to discuss the cards, mailing so folks can sign and t-shirts and convention news.

That's only if the board over there is down, which it still is as of 30 seconds ago. Cuz I'm checkin' it constantly. LOL

Any FFF.net Malaholics that run across this that want in on this, all you need do is become an Appreciatin' Nathan thread member on the other board and you too can sign our shiny card.

I'm sure the board will be back up tonight, but this is just a stop gap notice.

Talk to you later.

Oh, I've found you guys! I have been having the sweats and shakes from withdrawl.

But that photo of Nathan and a baby was a great fix.

I'm in on any card idea, so put me on the list.

I'm also thinking about using my credit card (or tax refund)to go to the Flanvention; anyone else going, and thinking about roommates yet? I am about 75% certain I will do it, but I need some roomies to defray the cost... After getting a taste of Nathan this weekend, I find I need more. Nathan is my crack!

I hope Gossi knows about this...

Anyways, we figured out MalNourished is going to work on doing the art for our card to Nathan from the Appreciators. It'll make the rounds and land with me at the end. She and I will make sure to take it up to Moonlight Rising and hand it over. Everyone make sure you get FollowMal your snail mail.

IF you are going to be a part of this, there will be a few rules.

1) If you decide to sign, it will be YOUR responsibility for postage to pass it on to the next person. If your name is on this list, we are ALL depending on you to keep it going.

2) You may not keep the card for more than two days. It's got a long way to go and a short time to get there.

3) Keep it tasteful and respectful.

4) Keep the card safe.

If you think you are a forgetful person, please do not sign up for this. There are a lot of Appreciators who are going into this and we ALL want to make sure it gets where it's supposed to go: into Nathan's hands. There will most like not be time to make a second one if something happens.

FollowMal--I emailed you my addy. You know I want that card!

I think Kaele has good points for the card. And I will reiterate--please don't sign up for this if you're not going to keep it rolling. This won't work unless we are all responsible enough to do our part. If you drop the ball when the card comes to you, you're screwing (sorry--too lazy to think of a less offensive word) your fellow Appreciators, and that's not cool. Not *trying* to boss anyone around, but I'm the oldest of 4 girls and therefore kind of used to bossin'!

And, here I am posting three in a row. Sorry, but my stream of consciousness is coming down kinda choppy tonight. This raises a question I've been wanting to ask, but have felt like too much of a dork to do so. I figure if I can't ask you ladies, then something's wrong!

I completely understand people wanting credit for their work, avatars, screen caps, etc. etc. etc. whatever. And I definitely don't want to step on any toes. But I have to admit that any photos I come across on the 'net that speak to me, I just right click and save on my harddrive in my rapidly growing Firefly folder. I have NO IDEA where I've gotten most of them. Now, I wouldn't dream of ever putting them on a website of my own or anything, but I keep 'em for my personal use, and will occasionally post one on the AN thread, as you know.

So, is this kosher? Not having ever been tempted to be part of a fan board before this Serenifly insanity hit me, I just don't know. Somebody lay out the ground rules for me, please!
