geekyI don't really need four copies for my very own. So...
In my essay, I talk about my love of Buffy, and how it helped me grow into myself as both a fannish adult and a professional author. Others talk about finding community through the Browncoats, or the treatment of good and evil in Angel, or the Hero's Journey of Dr. Horrible. If you're a Whedon fan, you probably have a story of your own. Tell it! Be as detailed or as brief as you like. On Friday, I shall unleash our old friend, Random Number Generator, to pick two winners, each of whom* will receive a copy of Whedonistas.
The book officially comes out next Tuesday, so even if you don't win, you should absolutely pick up a copy for the Whedon fan in your life. Or in your head. Whatever floats your boat.
Game on!

I just finished watching Firefly and Serenity yesterday and am now re-watching it starting at the beginning. My favorite episode is Jaynestown. I was laughing so hard. I watched it mostly because I kept getting shocked stares at school whenever I stated that I hadn't seen it. I'm glad I finally watched it.
Last year, I watched Buffy seasons 1-4 and part of 5 (and then things got in the way). I also watched the Buffy movie at a grad student's apartment with a bunch of friends, and we had so much fun watching it. There was one point where Merrick threw the knife at Buffy to prove to her what she was, and one of my friends suddenly sat up and said, "That's the fifth girl he did it to. The other four didn't make it."
Also, Dr. Horrible was EPIC. <3 My school put on a production of it, but I didn't see it. And then I saw the movie, and it was awesome.
