There's Mudder's and Plum Sake for those that do, and re-hydrated chocolate-y tasting milk product and de-exploded apple juice we got offa passing freighter last week...

And since it is soooo very cold outside I've made brownies with my special honey chocolate icing over the top.

I've been here before, but posting here because it's been a while, at least Mar 2012. Stopped in several times first half of 2012 and never got it, site seemed gone. Assumed it was deceased after numerous attempts. Glad to see it is here, anybody know what happened back then?

For those new since then, others have mentioned me as JSF for shorthand.

Hi all! I'm not that new, really, I joined back in 2008.... but I had a lot of challenges shortly after, and went into kind of a tailspin and had to give up some pleasures, like Fandoms and spending time on ze internets, not doing much....

Life has recently attained a kind of balance, and with balance has come longing for the Browncoat community and the joys and pains of the 'Verse. So I'm back! I have to say, I'm really glad this site is still up and active. A lot of places that I used to spend time on are down or haven't been updated in years....

I've been exploring the fan fiction here, with delight. I used to avoid it, but I've recently realized that fan fiction, written by other people in love with this show and it's universe, is really the closest we're all going to get to new episodes... isn't it? That and a few comic books.

So here I am!

I doubt they stopped being fans, but I think one of the major reasons for member defections was the heated arguments in RWED which spilled over into General Discussions and other forums.

Hello

Long time member of other fandoms (X-Files, Harry Potter, BtVS, Glee...yeah, I know, I know...one of these things is not like the other...), and I remember when Firefly first aired and was thoroughly confused, watched the pilot when I joined Netflix, but it didn't really connect with me for some odd reason. It finally connected with me after I saw it again a couple of weeks ago and I have a new obsession. I'm SO sad that there's no more of it, but glad it looks like the fans are still here.

Sooo, a few days of man flu, filled mostly by finally taking Netflix up on it's suggestion that I may enjoy a certain show, which I heard of but had never gotten around to watching. Turned out to be the best thing I've seen in, well, quite a long time!

Of course, the film had to follow, and no sooner had the end credits started to roll than Netflix suggested I also watch a certain documentary. And thus, I learned of things brown, and coat-like, and a fanbase quite unlike anything I'd ever seen before.

I have to confess to never having been involved in any real kind of "fandom" before but considering how short-lived the TV series was, and all that was achieved afterwards, my curiousity was piqued and I decided it was worth investigating a little further - and in short, I wound up here. So, er, hi...!

Heyo! Somewhat new here. FYI a "bump" isa post in a discussion thread that is meant to drive the thread up to the top of the forum menu.

A troll is a despicable creature that posts inflammatory comments in a forum thread with the sole purpose of eliciting an emotional response. Do not give in to the urge to try to correct the troll. Just warn your fellow Browncoats, and back away slowly. Oh...don't ever make eye contact neither...

Ni hao!

I've been a huge Firefly fan since the first days of the series, but never got involved in the fandom during the heydey years, mostly because I was nose-deep in Real Life and couldn't risk falling down the shiny, shiny rabbit hole!

A couple of months back now, a good friend was visiting from far-out-of-state, and got to commiserating with me and my hubby about how much we loved our respective Firefly table-top campaigns, and how much we missed them once they were over. That somehow progressed to a general carping about how we'd never seen Firefly fandom go the route of early Trek 'zine fandom -- the whole "create a ship/create a crew/write and draw about their adventures for the club 'zine" routine -- and how if we'd ever seen a Firefly group like that, we would have begged, pleaded, and sold our firstborns to join. Well... the thoughtworm got firmly planted... and we wound up doing just that -- we've created our own ship, our own crew, and now we're writin' & drawin' about their adventures.

It feels kinda strange to go this OC Firefly direction, so many years after the series and film! But we're having a blast with it -- a turtle-paced blast. :)

I'd really love to find a willing beta reader (or two! or three!), and would love to share 'Verse world-building-detail resources with other writers... Some of us involved in this are detail-wanks and really enjoy the fiddly-little details, so I'd love to have other fans to bounce ideas off of, and to help me keep my own fics sounding like they take place in the 'Verse.

(Like... the question I've been fretting over the most the past week: who does a Firefly refuel? Gaming resources and the Serenity pilot say it's a fuel cell system, but the Serenity Blueprints look like a liquid fuel system...)

Hiya! Just finished a Firefly marathon weekend by watching the fan documentary. Always makes me sad that I missed out on all that fandom. I'm one of those that found Firefly 10 years too late when a Browncoat gifted me the DVD box set and said "you've got to watch this!" Best and worst gift ever, since I watched and became hooked, knowing there would be no more episodes. But alas, i am hooked. The documentary made me wonder if the fan forums were still active...so here I am!

Greetings!

Joined a week or so ago. I've been involved with SF fandom since the mid-'80s, but never much Firefly stuff.

I never saw the show in its original run. (I heard that it was in the making and I was interested in seeing it, until I caught one of the promos. We didn't have Fox anyway, and the FF promos gave me no desire to try to get it.)

After the show premiered, I heard reports that it was unusually good and different from the rest. For the most part, I ignored such reviews, having heard pretty much the same thing a few years earlier about "Farscape" -- a show that, although better than most, I still found somewhat lackluster.

When the movie came into existence, the series went on my "I really have to watch that series someday before someone gives me spoilers" list. Watching the series didn't come to pass until a couple years later when I caught an episode rerun on Science Channel, thought "Kinda simplistic with a really transparent formula, but yeah, not too bad at all", then watched another one and thought "Okay, hooked now. . .I gotta see all of these and in the correct order!". I shut off the TV (with some difficulty), ordered the complete series and movie on Bluray, and anxiously waited for their arrival.

I got a bit burnt out on it, though, having watched through all the episodes several times and also all the special features. A couple months ago, I watched through again. Then, recently, I caught Done the Impossibleon Netflix (which then gave me the itch to watch them all yet again) and that got me thinking it was high time I took another peek at FF fandom.

So here I am.

Hey, thanks for the lesson in government. I had been under the impression that the United Kingdom included Ireland, but apparently it only includes Northern Ireland (if no dispute is assumed). I didn't even know there were currently 2 Irelands. Well, that certainly puts some of history into different perspective for me.

I did not mean to insult you. You must be from Republic of Ireland. That was what I had meant - some folk in America of Irish descent state that they are Irish - and it is one of the most vociferously claimed, defended, and celebrated cultural identities about - and not just on St. Patrick's Day. But you are still in the country, on the other side of the pond.

Are you saying Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland are on 2 different islands? Or is your local terminology for United Kingdom not include Northern Ireland?

I think I did see some CSTS activity in Ireland, have you gone to one yet?

SHINY_AISLING

in my opinion ireland is one island (the north included) britain is a separate island. the uk government may control the 6 counties contained within what is known as northern ireland but the people are still irish by blood.

Hey all! Been circling this site for a while, and have finally been able to get on here!! I'm a part time philosophy instructor/ author who's been a fan since '02 and Fox screwed the pooch. How's everyone doing this festive time of year? :)

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: You think she'll hold together?
Zoë: She's torn up plenty, but she'll fly true.
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Could be bumpy.
Zoë: Always is.

You should probably know that a genetic study five years ago determined that there is no significant genetic difference between the Irish and the English.
Just sayin'

Well, welcome Chex! You sound like you'd be a good candidate for the RWED threads where there is much spirited debat...oh who am I kiddin'... Yeah we have a tendancy to argue there. It's my experience that authors tend to enjoy that

So (*warning*) annoying question.... Are you published? And if so, what general topics?

As to "festive"... well, I'm not religious. So it's just another day here. Except colder and shorter.

There's a closet full of "virtual browncoats" down the hall to the left if you need a little warmth. Try one on and sit a spell!

Wishimay-

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm so glad to be here!! As to your question about whether or not I'm published, the answer is yes...soon to be anyway. :) I have a book coming out within the next year about Firefly and Philosophy. Instead of it being a compilation philosophy/ pop culture book, I've written this one myself. I've been studying and compiling it for about 7 yrs. now, digging through all types of philosophies and little details of FF/ Serenity so I'm pretty proud of it. The manuscript is due on 12/15 (which just happens to be my bday)...I can't wait! :)

Jewelstaitefan-

I love reading the discussions of the episodes and the scripts. The attention to and the dissection of details is something my family and I do all the time. We love watching the episodes, but I think discussing them can be just as compelling.
