I'm new here, but I've been a fan of Firefly and Serenity for quite a while :). First off, when I edited my profile it said at the bottom if I wanted to make my own avatar I had to email someone; who precisely am I supposed to email and how? Second, a leaf on the wind mentioned something called the 'river tam sessions' or something like that, what are they? That's all I got for now, may think of more questions later.

Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a falling sky?
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you?

"I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar."

A man is least himself when he speaks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will show you his true self.

You can't take the sky from me...

Important people don't do field work.

The River Tam Sessions were a viral marketing scheme for "Serenity" that starred Summer Glau as River and Joss Whedon as an interviewer. It was meant to document River's deterioration the longer she was in the academy. They can be found around the internet, and will be offered as an extra on the new DVD special edition release.

Kaylee: "What's so damn important about being proper? It don't mean nothing out here in the black."
Simon: "It means more out here. It's all I have..."

Thanks a bunch! :)

Nother question though, just thought of it: I've seen some people with text next to or underneath their avatars, how do they do that? If it's included in the tutorial you linked me to, penguin, you don't have to answer, lol.

Whoa, fltex, time for a Welcome Home, as you are #27721 to sign on aboard this shiny ship.
Please have a big bowl of strawberries, and a vast mug of Mudders' Milk to wash 'em down.
I expect you'll be offered a virtual browncoat pretty soon, too.

After you see the River Tam sessions you may feel different about pens.

Spread the word. Spread the Firefly love. Please pass the butter...

There's an old saying about the pen being mightier than the sword.

I don't know any of that fancy avatar stuff or I'd help you. I think there are a couple of threads about it, though.

Thanks for the welcome floral and fillian. I guess I'll have to find an internet cafe on vacation and kill some time with those sessions ;) Thanks.

Next to is only available for folks who use the default avatars, or to some of the very first users of this site who had Haken (fireflyfan.net's webmaster) specifically tie a custom avatar to their profile. Those with user numbers under 5K are the most likely to have the custom work.

Don't bother emailing him with a pic. He no longer will post custom pics. The best you can do is what you have - tying your own pic to underneath your name.

And welcome to this site - It's a great place. We're glad you are here!

edit: Have you read the unaired script, Dead or Alive?
