Mahalo daily interview. Joss is fun. NPH is dreamy. Who knew?

First story post (gulp).

Writer Warren Ellis offers his take on Dr. Horrible and the "Appointment Internet" event.

He admits he doesn't care for musicals, but was impressed by the "lovely little production."

No major Buffy announcments are planned at this weekend's Comic Con but Allie did drop an interesting tidbit about an upcoming five issue arc.

At least in my time zone it's still July 24, which is the day after the annual July 23rd anniversary of Ms. Carpenter's nativity.

Jumping up and shouting "Surprise!" in the eponymous ep. Having to call everyone she has ever met. Quiet nights in with The Phantom Dennis. Her Paleyfest dress. Happy 38th-plus-one-day!

Philadelphia Weekly columnist asks the musical question, why aren't there more shows on TV like Dr. Horrible?

Time to dust off that old spec script you've got laying around for Cop Rock?

FanLib.com to close next month.

The fan fiction site will be closing on August 4th. So if you have Buffy/Angel/Firefly fanfics on that site, you might want to store them elsewhere.

Fan fiction is a huge part of our fandom but never really gets a mention here. So here's a heads up for those posters here who go to that site.

And for those who have never heard of it, read this. It's an interesting tale of commercialism meeting fandom (and going horribly wrong).

Happy Birthday Summer Glau.

"Day" is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable... I didn't get you anything.

Happy Birthday to Summer Glau, who's all of 27 today.
Oh they do grow up so fast, don't they?

ComingSoon.net has some photos from the floor of Comic-Con. Photo features artwork of Buffy and Faith from season three episode, "Enemies," as seen on the upcoming Omnibus volume 5 from Dark Horse.

Thanks to bennyboi91 for clearing that up.

Anyone attending? There are many comic websites posting similar galleries, so there might be Dr. Horrible and Dollhouse images out there.
