Hi,

I just created an account on this site and wanted to say hello to all you existing members. I found Firefly and Serenity few months ago when I was at my friends house and we had nothing to do so we decided to rent a movie. First we found nothing interesting but then I saw this movie called Serenity and we thought that we could rent it as we didn´t find anything more interesting. Well, it was one lucky coincidence.

Soon after I borrowed Firefly dvd box from my friend, then I bought the box and Serenity and the rest is history as they say :D. My coat is firmly turning brown now.

But now when I got into writing I could as well tell something about myself (nobody is probably interested but I´ll do it anyway ;))

I´m Finnish (no you understand why my English is so bad ;)) and I´m 19 years old boy. I enjoy miniature war games and modelling, painting and sculpting miniatures. My dream is to build a Serenity miniature and sculpt the crew but I´m not good enough yet. I don´t want to desecrate such a great ship and crew by making ugly models of them. But maybe in few years or so I´ll be good enough and when I get something done I´ll promise to post pictures to this site (If they are cool enough that I dare to show them to you ;))

Well that´s it I think, sorry about my bad English again.

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

Welcome to the site TheEleventhCharacter! Glad to have you aboard.

Thanks for sharing how you found Firefly & Serenity. We love reading those stories.

Be sure to spread the word and tell everyone you know about the series and the movie.

Take care and keep flyin'!

Hello THEELEVENTHCHARACTER glad to have you aboard. I’m like BROWNCOAT1, I really enjoy hearing how folk find their way to Firefly/Serenity. Turns out a night hunting a movie to rent was a good one right? I remember telling my wife when we had seen the Serenity trailer at the theater that it looked like something I’d really like (we were there to see Harry Potter at the time). We never made it to the theater to see Serenity and the first few times I saw the Serenity dvds in the rental store it was only the package, the movies were all checked out. We finally were able to rent one and let me tell you it was the BDMovie I’d seen in a long time.

Anyhoo, welcome to the boat. You’re an artist, that’s great.There are several ppl here that are as well. I’d really like to see your artwork. Let us see it when you’re finished.

Well that’s about it for me. Help spread the SHINY word of FF/Serenity. The more browncoats the merrier.

Welcome! We're glad you've found Firefly, and we hope you'll find a nice home here. Poke about--we're all friendly folk. FollowMal should be around before long to issue you your very own virtual browncoat.

Cheers!

THEELEVENTHCHARACTER

Thanks for the warm welcome.

@BROWNCOAT1:

I have already recommended Firefly to most of my friends and some of them are already fans. I´ll try to get the rest of them to watch even one episode (that should be enough to get them hooked

)

@ZZETTA13:

Yes, usually it´s frustrating to search decent films but this time it was well worth it.

I don´t consider myself as an artist but thanks anyway

. I will post my work as soon as I finish something Firefly related.

@TheSomnambulist:

Actually it´s my dream to do miniatures for movies or tv series. I should start to do something about it when I finish my studies so lets see what happens.

Welcome home, TheEleventhCharacter!! You are #26628 to sign on with our very shiny crew and we are right glad to meet you.
Please share in the strawberries we have here for new recruits (whipped cream for dipping is in that other bowl) and wash your snack down with a big mug of Mudder's Milk.
We'll be expecting to see a photo or two of your modeling work when you are satisfied with it.
Don't worry about your English. Plenty of native-speakers don't write it very well.

Just jump right in!

TRAVELER

Hello TheElevenCharacter:

I'll just say HI back at you.

I'm a wargamer too. Mostly historical, but have delved into Warhammer on occasion.

It is great to meet up with you and hope you continue to come back and make friends.

Joy in our silly games and playful threads and have fun.

And your English is good. I have to have a dictionary next to me to help with my spelling and English is my native language. So don't worry about that. Just join in and meet people.

Thanks again!

@FLORALBUNNY: Strawberries and mudder´s milk? This lunch is going to get pretty interesting

. Thanks anyway.

@CONSTANCE: Yes, we gotta have thick browncoats here in white north :)

@DARKFLY: It seems that we have a little problem here

. Can I borrow her once a week to run back and forth in my spaceship? I promise to keep my hands off her and I can even give her my own combat boots. Do we have a deal? :)

Sure you canborrow her for a bit but you could just make up your own alternate universe & be the only person who can be with Summer.

And frankly your English is better than half the people on this Board, reading your posts would never give you the indication of not having good English

What a great idea. I just wonder how long can she run without resting, those combat boots are heavy. And she should also dance and beat some folk sometimes. At least she´ll stay fit :).

Nice to hear. The problem is that I don´t know how good/bad my english is cause I don´t use it very much so I don´t get feedback about it. But nice to here I´m no writing total gibberish (what a great word that is, thanks internet dictionary:))

Thanks for the extra warm coat FollowMal. Luckily the summer is just around the corner here in Finland too so hopefully I don´t have to wear it until next winter.

And welcome ipul! I too lurked here couple of weeks before posting just because I couldn´t come up with a good, free nickname :).

You're welcome TheEleventhCrewMember.

You will have to tell us all about Finland in the summer vs. winter.
Are there other Browncoats where you live? Close to you?
I live in the rural part of Missouri, USA and I don't have anyone who is active close to me. There used to be another lady from Joplin, Missouri, USA which is quite close and I always hoped Joplin would have a screening of Serenity for the Can't Stop the Serenity charity event... but it didn't happen. Not enough of us close I think.

I hope you're able to find some ( or recruit some!)Browncoats close to you.

_________________________________________________

I live in southern Finland so our winters are not very cold, last winter we had about two weeks more than -20 dergrees but mostly it was quite warm and we didn´t have very much snow either. Spring is mostly rain and sleet until april when weather (usually) gets better. Summers are mostly very nice, temperatures vary from 20 to 30 degrees and it´s mostly sunny too. In midsummer sun goes down very late and rises early which is nice when you want to party outside. In northern Finland sun stays up 24/7 which is kind of wierd but lots of fun. At fall the weather varies very much, it can be warm and beutiful or it can rain every day. The best things in finnish weather is the feeling you get in those first warm and sunny days after long winter, they really are worth waiting for.

I know a few people around here who like Firefly but they are not very hardcore fans. So I have a lot of people convert.

Sounds lovely for the most part where you live.
Thank you.
Here the winters can sometimes be quite harsh, but snow or ice lasts for a very short time, say a week at most... and then we're back to pretty warm temperatures.

Like you, those first warm days after the longer winter extremes... ahhh, they feel good. It is spring now and flower planting time and our horses are able to go out on the pastures and graze all day and not come in at night. It's green and lush everywhere you look right now. My moss roses are just blooming this afternoon.

Happy converting! It's fun. I converted my brother and his wife who were just here visiting from Florida, USA.

Welcome home, ipul. You're #26550 to sign on
to join our shiny crew.

Browncoat looks right good on you, and that one
is a nice fit on our Finnish friend as well.

Here are more strawberries (they are in season
on Boros) and the bowl of whipped cream for
dipping. And the Milk! Always the Milk.

We love to see more folk entering the 'Verse
all the time.

share the Firefly love...
