Probably most of you have seen this already, but the latest Joss interview says he’s gotten several of the series writers onboard for the comic books.

My cynical side suspects that someone in marketing is leaning on him, since with every interview he’s a tad less hostile to the idea of Angel and Spike making appearences. […]

(Responding to dinpik, who was responding to some articles on metafandom about feedback and whether or not “I don’t like it” can be considered valid criticism in and of itself.)
dinpik said:
There’s an attitude in fandom that you should be able to put aside one’s personal tastes and judge a fic purely on craft standards. This […]
New writer (well, new to me, anyway) worth checking out: ladyk8 on spuffy_fics here.

Why is it that…
No matter how carefully you check the alignment and print out test pages, you always end up printing at least one sheet of the good labels upside down?
No matter what size shipping boxes you have, at least one present is always two inches too big to fit into […]
Dammit, I forgot to download Torchwood.
We spent the weekend baking ONE MILLION COOKIES for dispersal to assorted family and friends, and the house looks like it was hit by a tornado of the sort that randomly drops on London suburbs, save that this one dropped on our kitchen. We made:

OK, you know what? I’m going to buy the damn season 8 comics, because it’s fun to have new canon to speculate about, rip apart, and condemn as not nearly as good as the glory days of season 2/3/5/nameyourpoison. I love speculating about what comes next and anyalyzing every little detail into the […]
