Welcome, one and all, to the (unofficial) Firefly fan club! This is where all you deviantART users - who also moonlight as Browncoats - can come together to talk, draw, write, CG, whatever else you're in the mood for, about Joss Whedon's ill-fated-but-amazing series Firefly and its no-longer-upcoming movie, Serenity.

NEWS:</u>
12-17-2006
Well folks, I hope you're all gearing up for a shiny holiday...but I've got a bit of a predicament. I just wanted to see if anyone was interested in taking the reins from me on this club. See, I didn't really DO a whole mess of stuff for this club in the first place...you folks pretty much submit your own art and keep it runnin' smooth enough on its own. And now college's started, well, I'm afraid I might do even less. So, anyone interested in becoming cap'n? If not, don't worry...the club's not closing or anything. It'll just be sparsely updated is all.
==========================
Here's an idea...if you want people to comment directly on your work (meaning the one that you uploaded with YOUR account) instead of the one that you uploaded here, you can set the deviation to reject comments as you go through the upload process. Then, just be sure to make the link to your original work very clearly visible!
told me about this shiny site that's trying to get Firefly season 2 produced off-network. Give them some support!
www.fireflyseason2.com/index.a…Okay, I already put this in the rules, but I'll say it again. DO NOT SEND NOTES TO THIS ACCOUNT. Send notes to
and I'll actually respond to them in a reasonable amount of time. Notes that are sent here will simply fester in my inbox, and we don't want festerin' around here, do we?
Also: do not comment/fav these deviations. Instead, follow the link to the ORIGINAL deviation, and comment/fav that one. That way, the real artist gets the praise he or she deserves.
Just a friendly reminder from your ol' captain:
Big Damn Heroes - when you post some artwork using the club account, be sure to put your icon into the description, so people know who they're complimentin'. It's also convenient if you put a link to the deviation on YOUR page, but not necessary.
To put your icon into the description, type this:
:icon SCREENNAME:
But replace "SCREENNAME" with your account name, and get rid of the space between "icon" and your name.
EXAMPLE: I am
mrpaco. In order to post my icon, I would say :icon mrpaco:, but eliminate the space, which would give me
.
Get it? Got it? Good.
Things that are Interestin':
The Real (replica) Browncoat - For those of you with several hundred dollars lying around, this site sells a high-quality replica of the Browncoat. -
www.abbyshot.com/products/ps-f… The Zoe Vest - The same site sells a high-quality replica of Zoe's vest! -
www.abbyshot.com/products/ps-z… Blue Sun Shirts - I've got a khaki Blue Sun t-shirt from this site, and lemme tell you, it's

www.bluesunshirts.com/ Serenity model - soon to be released -
www.monstersinmotion.com/catal… Jayne pin-up girl t-shirt - A great and accurate Jayne shirt, printed up by a very accomodating fan. Highly recommended! -

www.fireflyseason2.com/index.a… The REAL real Browncoat - Made by the original designer, but it costs a pretty penny. -

If you'd like to join, there are two options available.
One, the
Big Damn Hero, is the advanced choice. Obviously, being a Big Damn Hero involves putting everything you've got into what you're fighting for - or, perhaps, being an
active member of a community, by contributing fanart, fanfiction, or the like.
Second, the
Shepherd, is the more lenient choice. Most Shepherds in the 'verse are peace-loving people, and many lead relatively simple lives in a monastery - or, if they're part of any other community, they'll be
less active than most, sticking around simply to talk to people with similar interests.
If we've got any takers out there, just send me (that is,
mrpaco - notes to the group account might not be read for a while.
) a wave with the subject "Firefly-Fans Join," and be sure to
tell me which you'd like to be - a Big Damn Hero or a Shepherd. If you're a BDH, you get the club password, so you can submit deviations with this account. Shepherds, being the less-active members, will not get the password.
RULES:
I know it sucks, but if you wrong us, you must be punished. Here's how it is:
1. You have watched
Firefly, and severely enjoyed it.
2. You have watched
Serenity, and (probably) enjoyed that, too.
3. You put this club's icon in your signature and/or journal, to help spread the word.
4. Don't abuse the password. That means that if you are a BDH, you must...
a. Eventually post SOME sort of fan-stuff.
b. Sign out IMMEDIATELY after you're done posting your deviation(s). That way, you won't forget about it and accidentally leave a bunch of comments or favs with the Firefly-Fans account.
c. NOT comment or fav using Firefly-Fans. That's a no-no. (See above, genius)
d. NOT update the journal - that's only for moderators.
e. NO PLAGARISM, obviously.
==========================
Well, enjoy the club...keep flyin'!
