As a result of my Connor Wars project, I often get asked, “Why?” What do I expect to get out of writing more than a season’s worth of scripts for a show that doesn’t exist anymore? more…

Buffy vs Edward (BtVS / Twilight video mashup)

Love Buffy. Not such a fan of Twilight, which always seems so much the lesser (and annoyingly sexist) for me. Still, how cool is this video mashup of scenes from these two franchises? more…

One of their crew, River Tam, rescued by her brother, is someone who was being "schooled" by this … Continue reading more…
