    Student Research and Creative Works Book Collecting Contest Essays University of Puget Sound Year 2015 The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected] This paper is posted at Sound Ideas. http://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/book collecting essays/6 Krista Silva The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works I am an inhabitant of the Whedonverse. When I say this, I don’t just mean that I am a fan of Joss Whedon. I am sincere. I live and breathe his works, the ever-expanding universe— sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and often heartbreaking—that he has created. A multi- talented writer, director and creator, Joss is responsible for television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Firefly , Angel , and Dollhouse . In 2012 he collaborated with Drew Goddard, writer for Buffy and Angel , to bring us the satirical horror film The Cabin in the Woods . Most recently he has been integrated into the Marvel cinematic universe as the director of The Avengers franchise, as well as earning a creative credit for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. My love for Joss Whedon began in 1998. I was only eleven years old, and through an incredible moment of happenstance, and a bit of boredom, I turned the television channel to the WB and encountered my first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . I was instantly smitten with Buffy Summers. She defied the rules and regulations of my conservative southern upbringing.

  • Pairing: Spike/Xander Rating: NC-17 Disclaimer: I'm Not Joss
    Pairing: Spike/Xander Rating: NC-17 Disclaimer: I'm not Joss Warnings: angst and slash Summary: A decade post-series (and ignoring the comics), Xander is leading a normal life. Then he discovers Spike in an alley, amnesiac and human. Author's Note: This fic is complete and I'll post a chapter a day. The title is stolen from a poem by Jeff Clark, which can be read here. http://www.bostonreview.net/BR21.6/sampler2.ht ml And should be read, because it's oddly appropriate, although I discovered it after the fic was written. The Ghost Has No Home by Whichclothes Part One Xander Harris didn’t rescue anyone anymore. He’d done his time, he figured. Helped save the world enough times. Lost enough—his innocence, his friends, his eye. He’d more than earned an early retirement, with a normal life and normal job. He certainly didn’t go rushing in dangerous situations anymore, like confronting the three young thugs who were beating the homeless guy in the alley. But, okay, even retired, he could still pull out his cell phone and call 911. No risk to himself, nothing remotely heroic about that. Except his goddamn battery was dead. He stuffed the phone back in his pocket and walked away. Surely someone else would come along soon, someone who could remember to plug their phone into the recharger now and then. Xander had a house to get to, and a shower to take, and at seven he was going to pick up Nicole and they were going to see some movie with George Clooney in it and afterwards she might even decide to invite him into her place.

  • BBDO Picks the Winners!
    BBDO Picks the Winners! Once a year the advertising agency of BBDO picks what they consider the breakout hits for the upcoming fall TV season. Based on their highly regarded opinion BBDO picks six probable winners (they call them swimmers) for the season: Roswell and Angel are listed as probable breakthrough hits on the WB. Joss Whedon, creator of the hit series Buffy The Vampire Slayer, combines supernatural adventure and dark humor in the next chapter of the Buffy saga, Angel. The centuries-old vampire (David Boreanaz), cursed with a conscience, has left the small town of Sunnydale and taken up residence in the City of Angels. Between pervasive evil and countless temptations lurking beneath the city’s glittery facade, Los Angeles proves to be the ideal address for a fallen vampire looking to save a few lost souls. With the help of Buffy’s Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter), and a shadowy figure known as “The Whistler” (Glenn Quinn), Angel has one last chance to save his own soul by restoring hope to those impressionable young people locked in a losing battle with their own demons. It has been called the City of Dreams, and Angel has come to fight the nightmares. WB2 Tuesday 8-9pm following Buffy The Vampire Slayer Analogy: “Interview with the Vampire meets the WB” In the summer of 1947, residents of the tiny town of Roswell, New Mexico believed they witnessed the fiery crash of an alien spacecraft. The federal government maintains it never happened. Now, on the eve of the fifty-second anniversary, the town once again comes together to celebrate the historic event some call an ill- fated visit from the stars and others call a hoax.

  • Slayage, Number 3: Clark and Miller
    Daniel A. Clark & P. Andrew Miller Buffy, the Scooby Gang, and Monstrous Authority: BtVS and the Subversion of Authority (1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer, like much of the fare on the WB network (the show's home for the first five seasons), is marketed to and most popular among younger viewers. Like Dawson's Creek, Charmed, Roswell, and Popular, it depicts a young attractive cast struggling with the issues that typically face young adult characters on television, if not young adults in real life. A recent promotional spot on the WB for these shows features the stars laughing, dancing, and partying. The spot ends with the phrase “The night is young” on the screen. Current promotional spots feature the same imagery with a hip-hop version of The Who's "My Generation" on the soundtrack. They are young and hip and appeal to a young audience that uses television as one of the cultural texts that informs their interpretive communities. There are a number of elements of BtVS that have potential significance for an audience, but the ones on which we choose to focus are the issues of authority and power in the show. Issues of power and authority provide the show with most of its plot lines as well as thematic context. (2) Authority is viewed primarily through the eyes of the show's teen protagonists and so takes on the guise of traditional figures from the spheres in which the characters travel: school authority embodied by administrators, teachers, professors, and coaches; social authority embodied by parents; and civic authority embodied by local and federal officials and police.

    Pairing: Spike/Xander Rating: NC17/Slash Spoilers: Through BtVS season 6 ep “Hell’s Bells”. Notes: Fluff, the whole fluff, and nothing but the fluff. Written in response to The Batpack Wank Fanfic Challenge 2003 in honor of National Masturbation Month. Feedback: It’s ALL about the feedback (and naked Spike)! Don’t make me beg, it’s not pretty. Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters, just borrowing them for awhile. Everything belongs to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, Kuzui Enterprises, Grr Argh, the WB, UPN, Fox, and whomever else they really belong to, although I wouldn’t mind having a Spike of my own. Who would?

Written: June 2, 2003 Xander sat at the bar drinking his third beer. Now that he was old enough, he could legally drink his sorrows away. God, life sucked, he thought miserably. He wished... No, wait, wishing was bad. You never knew who might be listening. He carefully looked over his shoulder, and then surveyed the bar, looking for his ex-fiancé—the ex- ex-vengeance demon, patron demoness of women scorned, or some such, one of which she was now, or again—or her ‘justice demon’ friend, Halfrek. He didn’t see either one of them, but still, better safe than sorry.
