If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

I have received my copies of Whedonistas [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy]! This book is a celebration of all things related to Joss Whedon, with essays from lots of wonderful writers, and interviews with some of the people actually involved with the shows! Buffy to Dollhouse, it's all here.

I 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!

Buffy helped me connect with my father

...now, admittedly, he was in it for SMG, on whom he has one of his actress-crushes. But the fact remains that Buffy was a television show he was actively interested in turning the television to, and to this day it is the only television show we've both enjoyed watching. In fact, so far it's the only television show I've ever liked watching that he didn't actively roll his eyes at.

Things that allow me to connect with my father are not so plentiful on the ground as random diamonds the size of my head, so I'll take it.
