So I was skipping around slayage.tv while waiting for a FUCKO to give me the thing I needed so I could maybe get out on time, and I see there's a new Buffy book, and the Editor's description begins: Rhonda Wilcox is the world's foremost authority on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, its characters, and its themes.
Really? I don't know Rhonda, but I mean, I could be the world's foremost authority. So could anyone posting in this thread. It's just another thing setting off my rage button, today.
Really? I'd think, say, Joss would be a little ahead of her.
Dude, creators never really understand their own work. Haven't you ever taken a literature class?
Many. I'm an English major, after all.
Regardless, you'd think we'd've heard of this Rhonda chick before, if she were so foremost and authoritative.
slayage might be tooting Wilcox's horn a little, but she's published a couple of books on BtVS, in addition to her position at slayage, and she is cited in Roz K's
Fighting the Forces.

As near as I can tell all but a few of the first two pages of google hits on her name, are actually her, too.
Of course, I only know of Rhonda, because *I* am actually the world's authority on BtVS.

Now you know you're just going to make us check Rhonda's cites to see if you're listed.
No. I'm in that other book--that Buffy Dictionaryish thingie. Only I'm in it, as Xanderella. And the guy completely missed that I was only taking the piss.
I'm quoted in the section on the difference between *smooch* and *smootch*.
(I said the "t" was for tongue)
If my book ever gets published, I wonder if I'll be defined as the World's Foremost Authority on Wasting Time on the Internet Talking About Buffy.

Standing right here.

To be clear, I meant to say I only know *of* Rhonda. I wouldn't know Rhonda herself, if I tripped over her.
