NaNoWriMo and Mini_WriMo checkin

[craterdweller.livejournal.com]

How's everyone doing? Today is day or possibly 9 depending on your timezone. Those doing the full NaNo should shoot for 13,333 by the end of day 8. Those doing mini_wrimo should aim for 25% of your goal.

Yesterday I had to cash in the extra words I had banked. I only managed 750 instead of 1667. Today I need about 1300 words to stay on track. But if you are falling a little behind, don't stress. Try to make it up in little increments whenever you can. Let's shoot for some word wars for Weds. Usual start time of 4:30 pm Pacific.

Good luck today everyone!

Fandom Squee Day 8: Buffy & Angel

[flipflop-diva.livejournal.com]

So, for today's Fandom Squee, we're doing a two-for-one since they go together so well:

BUFFY & ANGEL

On my list of all-time favorite TV shows, Buffy is my #1. It very well might always be. Which is funny, because I had seen the so bad it's actually funny movie, so when I heard they were making it a TV show, I totally scoffed and was like 'Yeah, not watching that.' Except my roommate watched it. And my mom and my sister watched it. So I sat down partway through season 1 and watched an ep ... and that was all it took.

It was such a good show. Funny and serious and sad and scary and action-packed and everything. And 'Hush' and 'Once More, With Feeling' are probably two of my very favorite hours of TV ever best musical episode ever. and you can fight me on that. So, so, so, so, so good.

Angel I never loved quite as much as I loved Buffy, but it's part of Buffy, so it also gets a huge piece of my heart. I loved Cordy more on Angel than I did on Buffy, and I loved, loved, loved Fred.

These shows. I just can't say enough. This post is making me want to do a re-watch. Heh.








So now your turn! What do you love about Buffy, Angel or any other Joss Whedon show?
