JOHNTHETHEATREFREAK


Hey everyone

I'm new to the Online Browncoat community and fairly new to the verse.

I first became a Whedonist when I saw my first episode of Buffy (Once More with Feeling)

Then I discovered Angel and heard about Firefly. However I thought there must be a reason it was cancelled. But then I saw a poster of the movie with my friend Laura who told me it was awesome and let me watch an episode.

That episode was Ariel and I fell in Love. The wonderful cast the great stories and I couldn't get enough I saw Serenity a total of 8 times in the theatre including twice on the 30th and I wanted more. After having a Firefly fest I realized I want more and so I became a Browncoat

Now I am learning about scary.


Welcome, JohnTheTheatreFreak! We're glad you've joined us here for our mutual obsession. You'll definitely discover "more" here, including a lot of friendly folks who love to talk about "Firefly" and "Serenity" (and who wouldn't??).

We're always glad to have more Browncoats join the ranks! FollowMal should be along soon to issue you your own official coat and she'll be followed (or accompanied) by several others who will offer lots of good food and drink (and maybe llamas).

Enjoy!

Welcome home, johnttf (may I call you johnttf?)!

You seem to be #21098.
This is a good thing, as is your discovery of the 'Verse.

Yes, there was a reason FF was cancelled: Fox execs weren't into "arc" in Fall of '02.

Please come along to the galley, where you'll find big, yummy strawberries and all manner of other eatables and drinkables.

FollowMal will surely be around to fit you with a snappy new virtual browncoat.

Don't forget to spread the word about FF/S -- lend your DVDs, give them as prezzies, whatever...

Welcome, JohntheTheatreFreak and welcome to your new home in our corner of the 'verse. Glad you found us!

Wow...my brother is a theatre freak, and his name's John. What a strange coincidence.

Let me offer you some Irish Whiskey or a Strawberry Milkshake, which ever you've got a preference for, to nosh on while you wait for FollowMal to arrive with a coat of your very own.

Welcome again and I'll look foward to seeing you around the place.

Welcome, JohnTTF!

Yea, I'm gonna be real familiar and dub you with the nickname FloralBunny called you right off!
I hope you won't mind.

You need a browncoat, Browncoat.... all the new recruits get one....

*hands JohnTTF a browncoat that fits perfectly ( I really don't know how I do that?!)

Welcome to our merry home, I see you've been greeted by the rest of the bunch.

You've come to the right place to get more Firefly/Serenity, we talk about it constantly.. you'd think we were in love or something ..

We also have big plans for the Summer of Serenity to say thanks to Universal and do good works in the world. Check out the Browncoats Event Forum on the right of the main page for some campaigns you might wanna get involved with. I believe some folks here have told you about some of the stuff planned too.. * waves to Anonymous 1*

PhoenixRose, I love your shiny welcome sign!

everyone you know,....bribe them if necessary.

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


Welcome to the site and the browncoat ranks Reavers! Glad to have you here.

Be sure to spread the word and tell everyone you know about the show. The more new fans we can recruit the better our odds of Joss continuing the 'verse in some form or another.

My understanding is that you earn a llama (or two) just by being nice to others and generally one of the good guys, of which there are plenty on this site. FMF is the kind soul in charge of handing out (hmmm, now there's an image) the llamas.

Here's a link for further enlightenment:

I hope this is helpful.

On the subject of new Browncoats...
I showed my Dad the movie for the first time last night (I figured the BDM was prob the best way to suck him in, if not the most proper if you get me). So it finishes and I ask him what he thought.
"Oh yeah, it was good" Not really the rapturous reception I had hoped for...then a minute passes and he walks over to the corner, picks up the Firefly box set. "So there's some more of this stuff is there?"
We're watching Serenity part 1 soon!!
