Why YOU don't suck - and you know who YOU are ....

[catalyst2]

You introduced me to BSG - and then kept me going when I was "Meh ....!" after the miniseries.

You introduced me to Dexter - 'nuff said!

You introduced me to Torchwood - 'nuff said again!

You are involved with Fans4Writers.

You went to Mutant Enemy March Day.

Joss touched you - but in an utterly appropriate way, I'm sure!

You encouraged me back to writing when I had just about given up on it.

You are the reason I joined Whedonesque after I saw a post from you in 2004.

You are the reason I joined LJ just so I could reply to your posts!

Every time I talk to you about BtVS or AtS I learn something new about them.

Let's face, you're just too damned cool to SUCK! OK, I know this is the eleventh but what the hell!

I introduced you to Fray? Really? I just thought you were interested because it's Joss. Although, I think I do kinda remember being the one to recommend it to you. I'm glad you like SugarShock now. I remember you being underwhelmed by the first issue.

Hey, did you know I don't yet own the Buffy season 8 PTB? Nor any of the Angel comics? It's pathetic. I can't afford anything like that anymore. I'm really hoping going back to school will make me richer. I'm too old to be this poor for this long!


P.S. I just adore Fray.

SugarShock took a while to grow on me - I felt physically sick after Issue 1, I disliked it so much but by issue 3 I liked it. When I went back and read Issue 1, I couldn't even figure what my problem was with it! Perhaps the change of note or theme may be? I've never thought of Joss doing anything frivolous but SugarShock still strikes me as that. Once I got over my issue of expecting everything that Joss does to have profound meaning, I liked SugarShock a whole lot more!

I wouldn't rush out to get the Long Way Home TPB - the story is great, of course, but as a TPB it is very ordinary - no introduction at all, not from Joss or even Scott Allie, not sketches, no anything except the variant covers for all the issues (plus the Chen ones, naturally). I've got the individual issues so buying the TPB really didn't add anything to the experience.

Fray is, I think, the Joss creation I am most looking forward to more of, even more than Serenity: Better Days - blasphemy, I know! When Joss made that list of projects he was doing in the next year, I was happy for every single one of them but the "More Fray" was the one that got the "SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!" out of me.

I like SugarShock. I don't expect everything Joss makes to be profound. I expect it from his TV, but not his comics.

I don't care if the Long Way Home doesn't have anything extra but the variants. I want all the variants, and I want to read it again and again. Apparently from what I've read from others, there were a lot of little details I missed that I didn't catch before (Joss was in Buffy's dream!), and I think it has a lot of layers. And, I just want to collect them.

I'm looking for more Fray too, but I hope it's all penned by Joss. Next time I see him, I'll ask about Fray and tell him I want a Fray shirt, and see what he has to say.
