No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

This article in Wired about fan films of the Whedonverse is a couple months old, but I just read it. [link]

But productions can be much bigger. The Canadian crew of Into the Black, a soon-to-be-released web drama set in the Firefly universe, boasts professional special effects designers and TV industry insiders -- the cast recently had beers with Firefly lead actor Nathan Fillion. And 2005 Firefly parody Mosquito was directed by an award-winning short filmmaker, Nathan Town, who doesn't shy from including a fan film on his résumé.

I get a toaster!

But I also have Toaster Guilt now. My friend is addicted to Firefly, keeps IMing me to tell me his favorite scenes and lines...and it's all going to be over for him so soon!

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

Raq, thanks, I for one hadn't seen that Wired article. Have you seen this older one by the same author? Note her email address at the bottom.

Gus, step away from National Review. Besides, who could give any credence to someone who is comfortable with semi-colons and Capital Letters cohabitating like that?

Plus anyone who thinks the Alliance is representative of a democracy, as opposed to being a quasi-totalitarian/fascist stand-in, has been getting into the monkey crack hardcore (and not the good monkey crack).
