Hello Browncoats! I've decided to join your ranks if that's ok with everyone here? A little bit about me...

I'm 27. I'm from VA. Haven't been there long, but it is very nice. I'm a poet and very big Bruce Campbell fan. Those two just fit so well together, don't they?

The story of my arriving here is complicated, actually. I first encountered Firefly on the Scifi channel. I enjoyed it very much. Just my kind of show, unique. But it didn't go much further than that. Then Serenity had come out in theaters and I thought to myself that looks very familar. I didn't actually see the movie till it came out on DVD. I had been talking with a friend of mine on another site who happened to be a very big fan and she helped me put two and two together. After that, I bought the series and the movie and have loved it ever since. I'm just livid that the show got canceled! Who the hell does that to a brillant piece of art?

Now getting here, well, that was the work of your fellow Browncoat. After much prodding and my constant "no's" she finally got me to come over here and make myself known. Now I'm glad that she did because this place seems very interesting. Not like most fan forums I've seen. So I hope to get to meet all of you.

welcome abandonedcorsair..don't feel too bad about 'how ya got here'...you're here now and that's what counts! I never saw the series when it aired, because F*x aired the eps out of order and bumped the show for playoff games so it never had a chance. I saw the movie first and then got the DVD's just last Aug...I am now a huge fan and, like you, righteously furious that this incredible program was dumped. Compared to what's on tv now...oh, it's tragic. Anyhoo... hang around, more of us will be along shortly to fit you with a virtual browncoat...offer some mudder's milk and strawberries...again..welcome.

HOWDY AC!!! nice to have you with the crew... I don't know that we have a poet on board.. well, I reckon Book might be the closest, and when River dances it IS poetry in motion.. well now come to think about it,, Jayne gets right poetical when he talks about Vera.. hell, let me just say, you are among friend Poet AC.. was away... and, uhm, easy on that mudders the first few times.. it can wreak havoc on the rhyming bits...

We LOVE all the new recruits, so poke around the corners of FFF and join the conversations any old time...

CHindi wondering if philosophical is the same as poetical...

America loves a winner!

Welcome aboard, abondoned....*whew*. How's AC sound ?

Haa haa, another Bruce Campbell fan, eh? I'm sure that'll fit in just fine in these parts.

What's so cool about this place is we gots newbies like yourself, crusty old vets who fell in love w/ FIREFLY from the get go, and the truly demented Whedonites who were all over Joss's new 'verse even before our BDHs hit the air! ( I happen to fall into middle of the pack, myself. )

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Welcome!

I never saw the original run, but I watched the DVDs of the series a few months after they came out.

Here is my favorite thread, the one that got me to join:

Welcome home, AC!!! You've brought this shiny
crew to a new milestone as #24500. Growing?
Ain't. We. Just.

Please partake of these very fine strawberries
and have a sip of the Mudder's Milk we keep on
the ramp for new arrivals.

Coatmongers'll probably be around soon enough.

The buffet's been set up in the galley for
questioning
(cheese-heater was re-fueled last night)
and I think someone's doing a batch of bao.

Ice-planets are in the cooler, bottom shelf.

Please don't step on ShipsCat or into her dish.

Spread the FF love whenever, wherever you can.

I'm going to take a cue from everyone else and call you AC.

Welcome to the 'Verse, we're glad you're here!

Seems as if you've been showered with good food and good greetings... time for you to get your browncoat. 'Course it's not a real browncoat... but it's a symbol that you belong here, and are a Browncoat your ownself.

*hands AC a browncoat from the storeroom*

Make yourself to home. The chocolate iceplanets are particularly good. And the shimmerwine. I'd stay away from the mudder's milk if I were you.

Hey, don't forget to share the 'Verse the way it was shared with you. Maybe if there are enough of us, they'll make us more.

Ask me how to join The Appreciatin' Nathan Crew!

Again, thank you all! Yes, AC is just fine. Saves everyone straining themselves with my overly dramatic name. Wow! I have a number. Kind of feels cool.

Thank you, TheRealMe, for that thread link. I'm getting such a rise out of that. I'll have to watch the eposodes some more and see if I can't add my own.

I will definitely have to get some recruiting done. I was told that is one of the things Browncoats do best.

Thanks, FollowMal, sorry I kind of posted same time you did so 'edit'. Coat seems to fit well. And why is the mudder's milk too much for me? I promise I'm a big boy. I can take it.

Welcome home, MaryMercenary, #24543.
Yes, it's a nice place here and we're even
careful about your liver and other innards.
Please have a few strawberries and a little
mug of Mudder's, virtually adjustable to
whatever alcoholic percentage is healthsome
for you.

I hope FM'll be back to hand out a coat.

Meanwhile, hang out in the galley with us and
question the buffet. Galley's one of the best
places on the ship, all cozy.

Ice-planets are in the cooler, bottom shelf.
If you can say "Persephonian peppermint" you can
have the last one. Otherwise it's chocolate,
vanilla, strawberry until we are re-stocked.

Please don't step on ShipsCat or into her dish.

Spread the Firefly love!

I'd be glad to share some strawberries with you fine folk! And some Mudder's milk. Does the taste grow on you?

I'm kinda tall, for a girl, so I hope I can get a coat that fights me right!

Height no problem, MaryMerc. Coats are virtual
and fit themselves to you, pretty much.

The Milk is so nutritious it'd be a shame if you
didn't have a dose every day.

Like Brewer's Yeast, the flavor is an acquired taste.

But there's so much else you'll never thirst:
shimmerwine, cider, fancy snob-water, hodgeberry
juice, anything Kaylee has put through the inter-
engine fermentation system, bottles of all kinds
of juices in all kinds of colors...

Here's hoping only good things grow on you in our fine and shiny 'Verse!

BROWNCOAT1

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

Welcome to the site and to the browncoat ranks AbandonedCorsair. Glad to have you here with us.

A poet & a Bruce Campbell fan? Yeah, that is a heck of a combination.

Be sure to spread the word and share Firefly with everyone you know.

Well, if it's nutritious and all I'll just have to make an extra special effort to take a liking to the taste! Thankfully that won't be necessary for the strawberries.

Yeah, I think the coat fits just fine.

Shiny?
