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 did theater, and Newspaper, and Yearbook, and was decidedly not cool. At all.
We shared a commute to and from the university an hour away, living at home while going to college, up until graduation last semester. Our acceptable playlists consisted of two things: Dr. Horrible, or The Nightmare Before Christmas.
He might have been super cool in high school, but if his musical selection is any indication, I'm pretty sure he's a bigger geek than I am. I'm glad Joss Whedon's super geeky shows have given him a chance to embrace that, because Buffy was the show that did it for me.
