Can all the newbies introduce themselves here, please? I'm all happy that so many people are getting involved but to have a thread to introduce every single new person is sort of starting to get annoying as well is burying everything else and making it hard to follow any discussions. Right now there are more threads on the front page from newbies introducing themselves than actual discussion on anything else. So can try to keep it to one or two or even three threads, please (I know it is impossible to get everyone to post to one)? But can we try so we're not burying everything else?

Thank you.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

I agree!
And I will state, for the record, that I did not do an annoying introduction thread. I introduced myself on that "closing on 20,000" thread, I think. Anyway, I'll re-introduce myself here because I could still be considered new-ish, even if I have thrown myself into the boards with all my obsessive energy.
Hi everyone! Very pleased indeed to be here and be part of all this.

I know that some browncoats seem to get annoyed w/ intro threads, especially when they sometimes bump other threads off of the main page. I do not however think it necessary to start a thread & ask that new people to post in it.

I am overjoyed at the fact there are so many new browncoats turning up lately. New fans is exactly what this fanbase needs right now if we want any hope of a BDM sequel or any other sort of future for our 'verse.

We should all do all we can to make them feel welcome & encourage them to spread the word. I think expressing aggrivation over their intro threads will have a negative impact on their enthusiasm and willingness to post here. This site has been called the friendliest on the 'net by quite a few browncoats & I would hate to see some new people leaving feeling like others here don't want them here or are annoyed by them. I am sure no one else wants that either.

So, enjoy the influx of new people. Embrace it! Celebrate in the fact that our efforts to spread the word are working! New people are discovering what many of us have known for a long time, that Firefly & Serenity are fantastic sci fi & deserving of a chance to fly. We NEED these new fans a lot more then they need us. A little patience and courtesy will take us all a long way.

Just sayin'.

I agree, Browncoat1. I open the newbie threads eagerly, I wanna hear the shiny new stories, even if it's the same old story told for the millionth time!

I don't think there's any need to herd newbies into one tidy place. Newbies to the right, newbies to the left, it's all good!

I was one of the guilty parties that started a thread when I joined...I did not know I would "bump" anything off the main forum.

I was welcomed with open arms, and have since put my two cents worth in several threads. I also try to visit all the newbie threads as I am still new myself. This IS the friendliest place on the web, made better in that we all share the same love. Welcoming newbies is fun! The more the merrier!

Hey, Scametti!

Welcome to the ranks.

I know there's at least one organized group of Browncoats in Oregon, I think in Eugene. If you go to Yahoo groups and do a search for Browncoats, Firefly, Oregon, you'll probably find them.

In the meantime, welcome and keep flyin'!

Yep, I agree 100% - new people are good, and it's always nice seeing them find their way home. Plus, it shows that the signal is spreading - and that's exactly what we need!

EDIT If people want to follow a particular discussion, why not just bookmark that thread (or copy and past the link into a word document) - then if it gets bumped off, you can still find it quickly and easily. That's what I do.

There's another reason not to try to steer all the new folks into one thread. It would soon grow to ridiculous lengths!

But since a few of you recruits have found this one, let me say: Welcome one and all! We love new people, they all have stories. And it makes no difference whether you answered YES in the "Did you watch it on Fox" thread, or found it yesterday. If your coat is a brownish color, you're one of us.

Hey there
I am not a newbie been a browncoat essentially for a year now(yikes!), I post on this site rarely... not often more on the other forums... however...I jsut wanted to say welcome to the newbies I agree we need as many new fans as possible(and for them to interest other people to become fans)...and in terms of checking out local sites..

go to http://www.bigdamnboard.com they have a great listing for local groups.

Plus for oregon I believe there is a group, this was on that website:

PDX Browncoats - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pdxbrowncoats/
A great place for Portland, Oregon/Vancouver, Washington area Browncoats to meet, chat, plan shindigs, and count down the days, minutes, seconds 'till the BDM!

Well, Im not new to the Verse but am new to this particular site. Been spreadin' the word since day 1 and gots me no reason to quit now. Though I liked the movie and thought it was very good, Im far more a fan of the series then the movie.

As for who I am, I like to think of myself as a good person, Even if I don't always do the right things. I spend a great amount of time either listening to music (The Kovenant is an Industrial/Space based music group btw) or playing electric guitar & bass. If your curious where I live look up Planet Ceres, Thats where im from and is as close as you'll be gettin' to knowin' my location. Oh and we need an Emoticon for my most used line.. Cheers!

Been here for several weeks now, (showing his Browncoat to everyone) but if y'all wanna hear my story again...so here goes:

I had seen the initial ads for Firefly, but they didn't really peak my interest, gorram Fox, and it told me nothing about what the series was about. In fact, I had the misconception that Firefly had a "K.I.T.T." character in it-- you know the spaceship that talks back.

The only episode I saw was the very last part of "Trash" when Saffron was in the trash recepticle and Inara is there with the Laser pistol guarding her.

Years later, in March this year a friend came over and showed us the first four episodes he tape from the Scifi Channel FF Marathon. I was hooked! From that day on, I wake to the Ballad of Firefly and feel my day is not complete until I meet up with everyone here!

--------------
Wash: Closing in.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a might fast.
Wash: That's just 'cause I'm goin' down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
Mal: Well, if that happens, let me know.

From Connecticut, former Star Wars obsession now a Firefly/Serenity obsession. I firs saw Serenity on DVD, then Firefly, and i do have to say i am blown away at how much of a good thing i was missing out on. Watching these fine examples of quality have certainly made we a little pissed at how much the Prequal SW trilogy actually sucks....Just imagine what Joss could have done with Serenity if he had 150 Million bucks!

I am usually not a TV Sci-Fi guy. In fact i hate Buffy, Angel, Farscape all that stuff, and im a film snob. But what can i say, after reading multiple 5 star reveiws I made myself watch Serenity and here i am..

But now i am a brown coat

YEE RUTTIN' HAW! LOVE all the new Browncoats! Love them in their individual threads and love them in one long welcome thread... it is just nice to see the ranks swelling.. or the swelling getting rank ( I can't be sure...)

WELCOME to each of you.. thanks for joining us here and making FFF your home. It's a real friendly place... mostly.. sometimes Jayne gets a little crazy, but that is to be expected.

Join any thread anytime.. and know that even when it is "quieter" here.. it's just cus we're holding.. and maybe eating strawberries or passed out on Mudder's milk.. you know how it is..

Hi all. I'm new. So new in fact, I'm only on episode 10. I just got hooked last week. I've still got a few episodes to go and then the movie. It's bitter-sweet, like a good book, as the number of pages becomes fewer and fewer. Like any addict, I want more. I like too many aspects of this show for me to even begin to list.

As for me, I'm near Detroit, Michigan, USA. 25 year old computer programmer.

Like Chindi, I'm a fan of rank swelling and think it's swell -- er -- shiny to see all of you arriving.

In the galley are things like hot cheese, little sausages on toothpicks, strawberries and cream, and the Captain's Own Repeating Bean Dip with reinforced dipping chips. Step right up and question the buffet.

Great tattoo! I'm terrified of needles, so it's not something I'd do myself but I admire anyone who can.

Well, I've been a member here since March and I found Firefly when my ex introduced me to the first ep. I went on to love it, he hated it - there's a reason he's an ex!
I didn't have Sci-fi at the time so I never saw it past that first episode but I waited patiently, or not so patiently for the dvd to be released and have loved it ever since.

Oh and where do you get new Browncoats? Mine is a bit tatty now?

I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.

You are most certainly welcome GorramItalian.

I don't think that Rklenseth meant to be rude so much as to express annoyance at all the intro threads bumping other topics off of the main page.

We're all family here, so let's keep that in mind.

I was introduced to Firefly this week(ended up watching all the episodes in two days, who needs sleep?) and I must say i'm completely hooked, and very much disappointed about the series being cancelled. You all have quite the fire about you, and I hope I can be of use. I'll be sure to try and spread the word to everyone I can for the 23rd! Any Orlando, fl area fans out there?

Okay, ComicGirl, here it is. I think it's a lot better, all the holes patched up just as good as the Cap'n's bullet holes, and cleaned up as well as may be. Restitched a lot of these frayed hems, too.

You really need to steer clear of Kaylee when she's been working on the engine, though. I don't think these grease stains are ever gonna come out.

Should hold you till the next shipment comes in from Shadow, I expect.

I'm relatively new. Been lurking for a while, posted in a few threads.

I didn't watch Firefly when it was first on Fox, because 1) Fox did such a good coherent job of promoting it; and 2) Fox has a nasty habit of killing shows that I enjoy (S:AAB, Brimstone) and I just didn't want to give them another chance to knock a show out from under me. (Strangely enough, I have what I think is an early-model Firefly shirt that was passed out as a promotional item. I'm now ve-ery glad I didn't pitch it in the ragbag.)

I got interested in Firefly when it was broadcast on SciFi in spring/summer 2005. I saw Serenity in theatres three times. Before that, I saw Batman Begins four times. Before that...Finding Nemo, because it was 105 degrees and the theater had airconditioning. (I generally don't go to the theatre unless I think I'm going to be very satisfied with losing that two hours-and-$15.)

I have since converted four people directly, and ten more indirectly.

Greetings, all! I posted quite a ways up the post, but I wanted to come back and welcome all the shiny new Browncoats. I am less than a month here myself, and I am impressed with the welcomes everyone receives...it's kinda like a really big, far-flung, loving family. So, welcome home!

Those of us going to DragonCon are hoping to see as many of you there as possible (at least, I am)!

Any questions you have can be answered by anyone here...look to those who have held the line the longest, as they have seen the most.

Ni hao!

Holding until you get back , Captain.

Okay, ComicGirl, here it is. I think it's a lot better, all the holes patched up just as good as the Cap'n's bullet holes, and cleaned up as well as may be. Restitched a lot of these frayed hems, too.

You really need to steer clear of Kaylee when she's been working on the engine, though. I don't think these grease stains are ever gonna come out.

Should hold you till the next shipment comes in from Shadow, I expect.

*Hands browncoat back to ComicGirl*

Wow! Shiny! Thanks Doncoat. And I don't mind the grease stains so much. Gives it a bit more character, I think.

I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.

Browncoat #4536354 or something here.

Reppin' Central Kentucky. Already added the Serenity Day sig to my non-Browncoat related sites (World of Warcraft mostly, I raid with a whole bunch of Browncoats, oddly enough on the Alliance side. Best Serenity-related goofery moment: hitting a boss called Baron Geddon who turns somebody into a "living bomb" and makes you explode. One of the raiders who got hit by it yelled, "Gee, don't you think it'd be nice if I weren't a GRENADE right now?!" Much hilarity ensues.)

Just stopping by to welcome yet another increment of new 'coats to our little home.

I notice that others besides me have introduced themselves to Firefly by consuming the whole series in one go. Amazing, innit?

Now you have to go carefully through it all several times over, listening to the music, watching Jayne for all the things he does, admiring the Captain, drooling over Inara, noticing the stuff and extra people on the sets, whatever takes your fancy... It's packed full of goodies.

Tuck into the strawberries we've just set out in the galley. They'll tide you over 'til the next meal.

Hiya,
Im originally from iceland I currently live in sweden.

Cant really say that ive been a browncoat very long (unfortunetly). When I got hold of the show via a friend I fell in love instantly and watched all the episodes in a straight row with only a short break for some well needed rest in the middle.
Day after I had watched them all I forced my brother and my roommate to watch it all (although over a couple of days)

Just a couple of days ago I got the Complete Series DvD box as a birthday gift from my sis, and also ive recently picked up the RPGGame and im currently introducing some of my comrades to it.

By the way, if any of you ever feel like talking about the Serenity RPG send me a mail.

You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!

I'm not entirely sure I haven't already introduced myself (to be honest what time is spent on the computer is usually my "winding down" time - ie by the time I get off this machine I'm a bit tipsy)

So, here's how it is...

About four months ago my third ex-fiance (who I hadn't seen in 12 years and just recently reestablished a tentative friendship), introduced me to the movie Serenity. He'd already seen it, but told me it was one of those movies he could watch over and over (my standards being a bit different from his made me think otherwise. Fortunately I was proven wrong).

Two weeks later a classmate and I were talking about the movie and he mentioned he had all the episodes on DVD and would I like to borrow them. Um, hell yes?

Then I went out and bought my own damn copy of the movie - I want to watch this as many times as I feel like watching it. Thing is, when I buy a movie I like on DVD, I watch all the extras... including watching it with closed captioning (to make sure I get all the lines) and with the commentary on. Hook, line, sinker.

Then I realized that geez, there must be quite a few fans to get a movie off the ground... and figured there would be sites for fans. I bounced around a few of them, enjoying most of what I saw. Then I stumbled on this one. Fell in LOVE with some of the fanfic (JanaFae being the one that really tagged me.. "naughty?" "girl, that is downright dirty" - YUM). Then I started reading the threads... I absolutely love some of the theories floating around and some of the threads were a lot of fun to read. So I figure, what the hell... I'll get myself registered and see what else is around. lol, that and about a week ago I became taken with a storyline of my own and started writing it down. I'm hoping someday/oneday it'll be something I'd want to share with others.

So! That's it in a nutshell. Really enjoying this website and getting to read all the tasty ideas floating around.

Hi all. I just have started watching the series via Netflix. The 4th disc and Serenity should arrive tommorrow. Basically, I'm experiencing it all for the 1st time and lovin' it! Can't believe this was only one season long, it's just so good! *gush, gush*

I want to say to everyone here "Welcome Aboard"

I'm glad to see all the noobs here and as a matter of fact I'm pretty new myself.

Something I find odd and maybe other browncoats can help me out. For every Firefly fan here. Or for that matter every FF fan site on the internet, there must be 30 or maybe even 100 fans that are not members.

I understand that the Joss/verse didn't find a nitch the first time around but can't them rutting tv exects see the following it has generated now. Theres money to be made on them there outer rim planets. Heck t-shirt sales alone could bankroll a small country.

When folks are wanting to toss a bucket of cash on you "It just don't make no sense" as Jayne would say, to turn around and walk away.

Oh well, enough ranting. Glad to see everyone on the boat. Enjoy.

Checking in again to be sure to welcome all the new 'coats and to let you know the buffet in the galley has been completely refreshed and is ready for questioning. Mangos, hot cheese, strawberries, all the very best for our crew.

Must confess a little envy when I read that someone hasn't finished watching the series yet. My DVDs are wearing thin from viewing.

If you really love the show, introduce your next of kin, your classmates, your co-workers to this lovely 'Verse and perhaps we'll get another season or two or three or.....

Mystifies me it does that Star Trek is about to get a "prequel" and we're out here on the drift.

Saturday, April 22, 2006 6:42 AM

Hi all, I'm an American expat living in Hong Kong (guess I'm experiencing Sino-American fusion firsthand....)

Never caught the show on TV (thanks FOX...) but I saw the Firefly DVD for sale in Best Buy a couple of weeks ago and some fuzzy corner of my limited brain dredged up some (seemingly) useless info about this DVD set having such longevity and success on Amzaon's tracker. So I bought it and needless to say I haven't looked back!

I was on a British Airways flight from HK to London last month and they offered Serenity as one of the movies on your personal screen. Naturally I unbuckled my seatbelt, reached into the overhead compartment, put on my Browncoat and settled in. The great thing was that in my sub-divided cabin there were about 40 seats; at least half the people were watching Serenity because everyone started cracking up the first time we actually see the ship (Mal: What was that!?, Wash: Did you see that!? etc, etc....) So hopefully we picked up some international recruits!

Thank you for your service, Crajon. Are you another of those lucky people who hasn't seen the whole series yet?

====================================
HongKongBrowncoat, what was your fellow passengers' reaction to seeing a certain character take a Reaver harpoon? To the River "hero shot?" To the emergence of the Reaver ships from the ion cloud?
Would have liked to be a fly on the plane (a tiny, unnoticeable one not to be swatted) to watch reactions.

Howdy!!!

I'm a new browncoat, well, new to this site at least. I am a huge fan of both Serenity and Firefly. I've got both on DVD and watch them both countless times.

My name is SteveAM (the 'AM' bit is my middle and last initals btw). I live in the south of England....Um....and thats about it.

Also on a side note, I always seem to fall in love with programs that Fox cancel's. Like Firefly, Futurama, Family Guy (wow, they all begin with "F" like Fox does...weird). Futurama use to be my favourite cancelled show, but now Firefly has take over it, and taken over my life too

Anyway I'm pray to god they bring back Firefly!
Go Browncoats!

After watching the entire series and then the movie, I sometimes just stop and think to myself..."Why did they end it? Such a masterpiece torn down." Its quite sad, I bring myself to the point of depression over an awesome series and movie.

Are there any other Sydneysiders out there? It would be good to meet some folks before the 23rd June.

with risk of repeatin Hongkongbrowncoats comments - I saw Serenity on a BA flight from London to Cape Town a couple of months ago. I watched the BDM 4 times... whenever I got up to take a walk there were always people watching it. I just wish it had been on the flight to Sydney... I could have watched it even more!

I've brought the customary strawberries, a whole mule-load this time because we've so many mouths to feed.

News of the hodgeberry crush would not go amiss, either. I'm glad to report that the staining of stompers' feet (we were grateful for the help, and wasn't it a fine party?) has faded to the point where they get no more amused glances. The juice, left on the skins since the crush, has now been taken off for further fermentation. The remaining pomace has been sold to a distiller. We'll be taking great care with the vat (no peeking unless you're Kaylee the winemaker!) until the call goes out for help in the bottling.

DASHBOARDDINO

Tuesday, April 25, 2006 5:57 PM

Hey, everyone. I just joined yesterday. Been watching the show about three months now, I reckon. Which means I've seen some episodes more times than I care to count.

I immediately gravitated toward Mal, because his attitude matches my own. In fact, it was a little spooky hearing my thoughts come out of his mouth.

I saw the movie first, and was hooked. It's a rare thing that you see dialogue that good, paired with acting that is that good. With just enough realism to feel...well, real. That little Firefly is a real cozy place. Like to have one myself if it was possible.

I've heard people say they didn't watch the series because they were unclear what it was. Fox did a piss-poor job of promoting this little gem. I thought it was something new-agey. If it had stayed on more than a little while, eventually I would have wandered over by accident and gotten myself stuck there. But they didn't give that a chance to happen, and that's a damned shame.

But here we are all now, ready for battle. From what I see, looks like everyone's holding pretty good. I think Mal would be pleased. Real touched. In fact, I think he is.

So I'm just going to look around some, see what's going on. Oh, about me. I live in a place that looks a lot like some of the Firefly sets, planetside. But I won't be here long. I'm going to Romania for about a year. Talk about life on the Rim! Believe me, there will be some Romanian Browncoats when I'm done. I worked as a journalist for 11 years, which I don't recommend doing, and am now interested in studying business when I get back to this part of the 'verse.

Yeah, I'm new too, even if I am really old. Been a fan of Buffy and Angel for a long time. I've even managed to get my daughter interested in Firefly/Serenity.

I probably read this on a Buffy site somewhere, but it bears repeating. I'd like to thank Joss Whedon for making me care so much about people who don't even exist.

Tuesday, April 25, 2006 6:03 PM

I am new here. I just signed up yesterday. I bought Firefly off of Amazon without having any idea what it was. I bought it because it was a good deal and I like Sci-Fi. Ive watched the whole season in 2 days...woops! I loved it! I now ordered the movie through your links here. I hope there is a Season 2! My only problem is that the last few episodes got darker (I like Sci-Fi for escape, not reality - I like them ending happy). I also have heard that a few "key" characters dont fair so well in the movie. So, I loved the season, but I wonder if there is a season 2, how much it will have in common with the Firefly I have grown to love. It doesnt seem like it could be similar.

Bonsoir everyone and thank you for the welcome I've gotten so far. I got hooked on Firefly recently when a friend showed Serenity at a party. I've since then seen all of the episodes and become addicted to the lovely drug that is Firefly.

Just as a question, anyone know where I can get in contact with a DC/Metro area Firefly group, if there is one?

Have a lovely evening.

One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Hey, there, farfly, line up over here for the Silver Fox brigade! No way to be too old for FFly.
Or too new.

Everybody, chow is now.
Y'all step up to the buffet and check out the goodies we've laid out tonight. All the usual stuff you've come to expect, plus caviar from New Melbourne. All the best for this army/crew.
