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!

I remember the moment I became a Buffy fan and therefore a Joss Whedon fan. I was not a fan of the movie and when I saw that they were doing a tv show I absolutely refused to watch it. It took a really good friend of mine begging and pleading for me to finally give in. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I watched. The dialogue was witty, intelligent and fast-paced. The best part of the whole series besides the monsters and the lore were the character relationships. Joss Whedon is so well at writing people relating to one another in such a realistic manner that these are people you would be friends with in real life. The show made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me angry. And it cemented my love for Joss Whedon. In my eyes he can do no wrong. The man is brilliant and in my opinion continues to do excellent work.

I cannot wait to read Whedonistas!!!
