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!

Well, I've decided to be a big girl and get over Joss's basing River Tam on me and not asking my permission first. But anyway, as we all know, Joss is THE AWESOMEST and I am a proud Whedonista who will never recover from the cancellation of Firefly and the bitter revelations and outcomes of Serenity, no matter how much Dr. Horrible has made me giggle. While Buffy is fine, River has my heart.

BTW, since I know the random generators can't really be random because if things were really random I would eventually win something somewhere and since that has never ever happened like, ever, with something that was random, it seems like it's probably a little less random. Thus, I leave this banner as quick note to your random number generator. (It would be fong luh if I finally won. LOL)
