Hello all, I'm new. Just wanted to share my story on how I got into Firefly. On a whim I recently bought the complete series. Seeing it everyday while working at best buy. I finally had the money to get it. It's amazing. Recently I go to find Serenity. Now we have this thing every week called sendback. Corporate sh*theads have us take stuff off the shelves that's old or doesn't sell well and ship it back to the warehouse. I look in the computer only to find that Serenity was one of those movies. Two weeks ago all of the copies were pulled and sent back. I was pissed, that sure isn't going to help with DVD sales. I didn't want to have to wait to order it online. I looked everywhere and found one copy. It was stuck with an old double pack. It was paired with Chronicles of Riddick. I ripped the packaging, through Chronicles back on the shelf and bought Serenity. Phenomenal movie. I really wish that somehow this would be the one story, that because of the fans can be resurrected, somewhere, somehow.

TRAVELER

Welcome WhoYaGonnaCall:

Anyone who loves Firefly enough to join one of its many fansites does not need to ask permission.

You just need a couple of invites and I got my hands on some.

Please come often and participate in our games and discussions. We try to be lively and interesting. If you have looked around I am sure you see we have many different things going on in our threads.

Don't be afraid to ask anything. What this or that is all about. We are here to talk Firefly and to get to know each other. So dive in and enjoy.

I aim to welcome;
Traveler

Thank you traveler :), you're support is very much appreciated.

I guess my only questions are.

Has anyone made any firefly fan films?
And does anyone make firefly props and costumes?

Welcome home, WhoYa... You're #26321 to sign up
on our shiny ship. If you hang around a while
you'll probably encounter FollowMal (or one of
her helpers), who'll fit you with a virtual browncoat.
Until then, there's the buffet, with the hot cheese
and all.
And before that, these big, juicy strawberries
and a mug of Mudder's Milk.
We like to take care of our new recruits!

Poke around the place; you'll find treats galore.

Firefly fan films? Meh, if you're into parodies, try this at,

As for props or costumes, click around this site, there's lots! For starters, you might want to read over the 76th Battalion threads, of which there are many. Tristan, in particular, will lead you to much costumey goodness, although there are many many more Browncoats who are into dressing up. You'll find a lot of them here.

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

Welcome aboard WhoYaGonnaCall. Glad to have you here posting with us.

Sad to hear that your Best Buy sent the copies of Serenity back, but good for you for finding one and purchasing it. There is a special edition dvd for Serenity coming out in July. Be sure to pick it up.

Spread the word. Tell everyone you know about Firefly and Serenity.

Keep flyin'!

Welcome, I am a stowaway too.
I am also waiting to get a browncoat or the airlock. Still, the coat is worth dying for.

Anyhoo, great story WYGC. I’m seeing a lot of FF/Serenity dvds at many of the local stores here so seems they’re selling like hotcakes, a very good thing. WYGC since you’re an employee of BB you’re in a great position to make our BDH (Big damn Heroes) even bigger. Glad that you’ve joined the boat. Enjoy the forum. Post often (you too TRM) Grab a chair and let’s tell war stories.
