Hello.. My name is Ryan and I am a Firefly fan.

I remember watching the show when it first aired, but then lost track of it as it began to hop around. And I got back into it by watching Serenity on TV and it resparked my interest.

The thing I liked about it was it's 'Cowboy Bebop' esque take on Space and Westerns. But Bebop was more about style and music.. and Firefly seems to be more about characters and storytelling.

It's just an amazing concept and was a damn good television show. Every aspect of the show was amazing. These types of shows don't come along too often and it pisses me off to no end that it's not on the air anymore.

I look forward to being an active member of the browncoat community now. And as a gift to you all. I have made a music video. I have never done a music video to a live-action show before so it was kind of weird. And I think the end of it is a littly choppy because I tried to fit so much of the characters and story into it.

Enjoy..

It is better than confession! Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been um......a reeallllllly long time since my last confession - I have taken the lords name in vain, I have idolized Nathan's nostrils above the lord. I worship the Joss that is Whedon. I have impure thoughts about Captain Tightpants. I have wished evil on the Fox Execs.

I will watch your video later, I can't see it at work!

Welcome again!

Hi and welcome, I've never thought of the Bebop connection before but you're quite right. Hmm I may dig out Cowboy tonight and give it a watch.

You're in the right place! Pull up a chair, chat about insane details of the show, read some fic, and have a good time!

Well, FollowMal must be distracted looking at pictures of our Captain again...tsk, tsk, tsk...

And it so happens that just the other day, I received not one but TWO browncoats!

So, in the name of FollowMal, I hereby bequeath my extra Browncoat to you, I'm sure it'll fit you just right!

Welcome, sit around and chat a spell, I'm sure someone will be along with Mudder's Milk and strawberries in no time at all.

Mal: You know, you ain't quite right.
River: It's a popular theory.

Hey, Ryan, welcome to our shiny site!

I see that you've been regaled with the usual hellos, warnings about trolls and invites to look about and post often.

Sounds like the crew have it just about covered.

Also looks like you got your browncoat!

You're all set. Make yourself to home and just ask if you need something. We're a friendly bunch, love the 'verse as much as you do and love to talk about it.

Don't forget to share this new found joy with folks you know, cuz they're likely to love it too.
And if we happen to have enough new folks fall in love with our show and our movie, permaybehaps we'll get a sequel.

I believe.

Ask me about becoming a member of the Appreciatin' Nathan Crew!

QuietSerenity,

I was actually looking at pictures of our dear Captain. Had to choose a new sig, didn't I?
Research.... lots of research.

Thank you for sharing your extra browncoat.

Welcome newcomer!

I'm fairly new myself here. I joined when the movie came out (although I was a fan long before).
I am so glad to see a new member. I have been getting nervous that we fans might fall apart over time, but not us! We are a strong unit, we're browncoats.

Anyways, welcome! Everyone is really nice here. Alot nicer than most of the other forums/blogs I have been on.

Welcome home, Sparkimus (#22149) a.k.a. Ryan.
The coat looks right shiny on you, and I see
you've been getting the best of fff.net's warm-
and-enfolding.

Allow me to add to it this dish of strawberries
and cream and an invite: come on up to the
galley to partake of the other delicacies. Hot
cheese and wife soup are featured tonight. Ice
planets are in the cooler, bottom shelf.

Please do not step on the ShipsCat or into her
dish.

Be sure to spread the SereniFly love wherever
you can. Family, friends, total strangers...

And don't you love the layers Joss Whedon puts in everything?
