    • Do you really have to ask? Honestly, though - Joss is an amazing visionary, but it goes beyond just one person. I think the Whedonite Fandom is awe inspiring. A group of fans getting together to donate their time and money to a charity like Equality Now - I am proud to be a part of this fandom.

About Firefly and Serenity

Firefly is an short-lived space western television series created by writer/director/actor Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel). It premiered in 2002 on FOX, and was cancelled after only 11 of the then 14 completed episodes had aired. Despite Firefly’s short life span, its every growing fan base campaigned to try and save the ill-fated series, and later to get the show released on DVD.

Browncoats, what Firefly and Serenity fans are lovingly called, have consistently kept the DVD box set in the Amazon.com Top 25. The DVD sales, as well as active fan base, led Universal and Joss Whedon to produce a film, in 2005, based on the series, Serenity. Even though the “Big Damn Movie” received rave reviews from most critics, Serenity did not perform well at the box office. This has not stopped fans, though; Many started viewing Serenity on the Big Screen again for Can’t Stop The Serenity (one of the many Browncoat charity movements).

Browncoats are all over the world, and work together to not only create fan events, like The Browncoat Ball, but also run charitable events, like Can’t Stop The Serenity. The Browncoats champion a number of charities, including Equality Now and Kids Need To Read.
