I am a relatively new member to the ‘verse. I, unfortunately, missed Firefly when it first aired. In fact, my first exposure to the ‘verse was the Serenity movie trailer. I remember seeing it and thinking that it looked like good movie.

Fast forward to about a month ago and I saw Serenity at the store and picked it up. Watched it and loved it. It was the DVD extras that gave me first exposure to Firefly. Up to that point I didn’t realize that the movie was based off a series! I was then on the internet ordering my DVD collection of the Firefly series.

I’ve finally watched all the episodes and loved them. It really bums me out that there will likely not be anymore films/episodes to watch. The show just had so much potential!

It’s great to see the ‘verse living on still through fan sites!

CavScout! Welcome to the 'verse! Glad you found your home.

Make yourself comfortable; there's plenty of food and drink...Mudder's Milk if you're feeling brave, coffee if not. Others will be along to offer you other things. Keep an eye out for FollowMal; she'll issue you a browncoat.

Enjoy your stay, post often, and if you have any questions, just ask!

CavScout,

We're glad you found us! Welcome home.

Everyone it seems falls in love with the 'verse, how can they help themselves! We all feel the same way that you do, it's a strange mix of joy and melancholy.

Although, there are some shiny things planned for the summer which we believe might make some difference in getting more. Check out the Browncoat Event Forum for a list of cons you can go to, events that are planned, shindigs you can attend and some major campaigns that you can take part in.

Coming up June 23rd there will be screenings of Serenity for charity, there are a lot of cities and towns taking part in this now.. check out the full list at www.cantstoptheserenity.com. Also on that day.. but unrelated to the screenings, there will be a mass buying of Serenity by Browncoats in an effort to promote the movie. If you already own a copy and would like to buy one on that day.. you can donate it to the library of your choice, check out this campaign's website at www.serenityday.org.
Here at FFF.net we are planning a whole Summer of Serenity that will kick off the day of the mass buying.. we are having many campaigns that people can get involved with and the Browncoat Event Forum will be the place to see what's up. On September 30th, the anniversay of the release of Serenity, we're calling it the Serenity 'Versary, we're having the biggest celebration of all with much to do and enjoy by fans. I hope you'll take part in some or all of the stuff we're doing.

I don't believe we've seen the last of the 'verse, we still have a chance for a BDSequel and maybe one more.. then the return of the series.

We're holdin' here til Mal gets back.

Now that you're a Browncoat you need your gear...

*FM hands CavScout a browncoat that fits*

You can thank my storeroom clerk RadarRese for the fittin' part.. she seems to be the magical someone who pulls that off!

Someone is likely giving you strawberries or iceplanets as we speak. Enjoy being in your new home, we love it here and hope you will too.

See you around the board!

"You hold. Hold 'til I get back." Mal

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Nice to see you! Wow, lots of new members today!
*checks store of goodies*
Yep, look like we still have plenty left in the galley. If you'd like some strawberries, mangos, or iceplanets, they're all set. We've had to make a new batch of wife soup; it should be ready soon. There's also very fresh wine and some nice tea, if you're thirsty.
Spread the word! Remember, they can't stop the signal!
Stay shiny

#21164, CavScout. Welcome home!
The coat looks right shiny on you.

Buffet is lookin' good, too, except for the hot cheese. So tasty that everyone dips in and pretty soon it's gone.

*bun picks up the dish and takes it away to be replenished*

Be sure to share your newfound love of the SereniFly with anyone you can round up! It's the only way we're going to get more.

Welcome CavScout! Always nice to see new recruits.

Oh, and because everything's better with cheese dip...

Howdy and welcome, CavScout. Glad you found our little Haven here in the black. Never too late to find the 'verse. (I didn't catch the bug until I saw Serenity on DVD, myself.)

Spread the word and keep the faith. We'll all be here holding the line until Mal gets back.
