So like some I was very late to the Firefly/Serenity party. I vaguely remember the promos for the show on FOX and I totally missed the boat.

I saw the box set on sale at Target and thought it would be fun to see what all the talk was about. My wife is a big sci-fi fan as well so we sat down over the Christmas and New Year holiday to catch up. WOW...we are BIG TIME fans now!!!!! We are so sorry we didn't get it the first time around but we are glad we are in the know now! We are official Browcoats now! Well, at least I hope we are..ha ha.

We capped off our box set with Serenity on the HD-DVD player last night!

Welcome! I'm sure FollowMal will be around with your brown coat (or two, I guess) momentarily. In the meantime, show your dedication and vote, recruit!

Welcome to you AGENTCOOPER and the Mrs. as well

SHINY story and better late than never at all. In fact you'll find that many of us browncoats didn't arrive until after the BDM was out on dvd.Enjoy the forum.Ask any questions that you may have and post till your fingers turn purple. Well maybe not that

Yepper lots of browncoat folk around here. I check FFfan.net about a dozen times a day and post often too. Sometime you hear what you want to hear. Sometime you don't. But ppl do have opinions so you're bound to get an answer one way or another and everyone respects your right to think how you want. They may not agree but they respect it.Unless they're a troll...ha...ha

Enjoy,Z

Welcome home, AgentCooper (#24448), Mrs. AC,
and BuffaloPhil (#24450). Better get Mrs. AC
signed up, too. ;:-)
We're obviously thrilled to have you signing onto
our shiny crew.
Please have some of these strawberries, and don't
worry about the Mudder's Milk. It's virtual and
can thus be adjusted to match your needs.

Coats are much the same, though some are recycled
and some are new.

Timing?
Better late than never! Share the Firefly love with
friends, family, workmates, total strangers you
meet in the video store...

Ahhh, you see, you're only one step away from being true Browncoats.. you and the missus.. and that's when we hand you your very own virtual browncoats...

*hands AgentCooper and the missus a 'coat that fits perfectly*

There you are. Looks as if you've been made welcome, this is the shiniest board to belong to!
Lots of stuff to explore.

As the others have urged, share the 'Verse with as many people as you can. Most of us here are wishin' for more FF/Serenity. Don't know if we'll get it, but it seems logical that the more of us there are wishin' the more likely it is the wish will come true.

Make yourselves to home.

Good heavens, BuffaloPhil, you snuck in all quiet-like and missed gettin' your 'coat!

*hands BuffaloPhil a browncoat just like Mal's only virtual*

Post often, take part and thank you for joining us.
Same suggestion as AgentCooper's.... share the 'verse with everyone you love and don't love.
They'll thank you. And we do too!

BROWNCOATCOMPANION

Belated welcome AgentCooper! As you can see, Browncoats are Browncoats no matter when or how they found the 'Verse.

I'm new to the fandom too as it so happens> Fell in love about four months ago. No one has run me out in shame for finding Firefly so late...but then, I've made up for my lateness by buying EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!

I've got my heart set on T-Shirts next, but I digress.

*Oggles your new browncoat.* The color looks good on you.

I have a couple of those tees, BCC and they are nice! The one with Mal on the front is ... uh .. distracting. LOL

Welcome! I'm sorry you missed your gear... let's fix that right away.

*hands BCC a browncoat that fits ( miraculously!)*

Hey, you look mighty fine in brown too!

BROWNCOAT1

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Welcome aboard AgentCooper! Glad to have you here with us. Thanks for sharing your story with us. We all love to read how new fans came to discover the 'verse and fell in love.

Be sure to spread the word to every single person you know. The more new fans we get the better our odds of getting some continuation of the story that Joss has been telling.

Take care & keep flyin'!
