Undead Fanfiction Challenge-Leporiphobia aka Bunny Fear

Okay...so I was listening to Athenamuze's awesome new podcast and she mentioned that in "Selfless" we see that Aud's breeds bunnies...and then we know that Anya is now afraid of bunnies....so, how did the bunny fear develop? We are missing the real story there so let's imagine what happened... So my challenge to you is to write a short tale describing the incident or incidents that led to her (the fear of rabbits/bunnies). 2000 words or less...

Deadline April 1st!

Post you story on the new Slayalive Buffy Forum or read the stories as they are posted and let the writers hear some feedback.

***AND either Brian or myself (or maybe you if you have a mic) will read my favorite one or a couple of them on my podcast around Easter. Just a little something new to try...

New Buffy Podcasts- Watchercast and Happyland

Please check out these two new buffy podcast that i am grooving on...

Watchercast- episode reviews starting at the beginning....These folks are funny, have great insights, and don't waste my time. I love that...so many buffy casts just ramble and crack each other up...or have their buffy facts completely bass-akwards. I am really loving this one...

Upside Down and Halfway to HappyLand by Athenamuze!...Hurrah this was totally fun and I look forward to more...everyone should give it a listen!

And as always...check out Strangely Literal...the Mr Gordo story, Moving On, and the Jayne Drabbles are especially awesome!

Buffy figures go the way of the dinosaur...

From figures.com

TF07: Clear Room for New BUFFY


DST Revamps Sunnydale...

Diamond Select's ever-evolving line of Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figures is coming to an end... and morphing into somthing new.

The Build-A-Judge Series, now to be divided up into two, three figure waves, will send off Buffy and her 6" scale pals with a bang. Asked why, DST replied that all major and minor characters have been created, and it is time to move on to something new and exciting.

That new and exciting is REVAMPED, a new series of dynamically sculpted, diorama-like figs. Buffy and Angel were on display at Toy Fair in prototype form, each showcasing an interactive pegged environment, swappable heads and torsos. The gimmick on "Revamped" is that the fan can position the figure in numerous battle stances via the foot and peg system: From running up the side of a trash dumpster to slam that stake in the enemy (not included), to standing strong and fast for solo display. Each figure will feature minimal articulation (head, shoulders, waist). "Revamped" figures will retail in the $16-$20 price range with first two releases due out around this summer.

In addition, DST will be ushering in new prop replicas (Faith's Knife and Dulac Cross) as well as an exciting new resin sculpture series. The latter, will capture the Essence of...

* Angel

* Spike

* Willow

* Buffy

Each Jean St. Jean Studio sculpted piece will illuminate in some way (ie: candles with Willow, glowing blue archway for Angel, etc.) and will run around $125 each.

My thoughts... Dumb. Not giving us Riley and Gunn before ending this is really friggin annoying.

Thursday Tv Heaven! Joss' Office ruled! Smallville, Supernatural, Earl, and CSI.

Thursday is like tv heaven lately. But only if you have tivo/dvr...because I would find it very difficult indeed to choose between all the shows I love to watch on thursday evenings. First Smallville...last night's episode, "Freak", marked the directorial debut of our very own Lexypoo, Mr Rosenbaum. I thought he did a stellar job and it was the first episode of the season that did not make me want to punch Lana for being a dunderhead. And Supernatural! Finally a humorous episode in what has been a very dry season for the most part. This was very reminiscent of one of my favorite X-Files episodes, "Bad Blood", in which the he said/she said story line made for lots of comedy hijinks. My favorite part was when Dean had a ton of candy crammed in his mouth. So funny. I know I have said it before, but I think a lot of Buffy and Angel lovers would really like this show if they gave it a chance. Its a Supernatural Hardy Boys with a dash of bad ass five by five Faith attitude. Then moving to comedy...Joss Whedon's first tv directing foray in years proved to be worth the wait. The Office was beyond funny last night. I mean the show is always hilarious but I especially enjoyed the vampy hijinks last night and that moment at the end of the show was really sweet. "Its a Chunky..." And of course, Earl is genius..everyone must watch it. And then finally I am a sucker for CSI. I like crime shows and watch a ton of them (Bones, CSI vegas only, Numbers, L&O SVU, and L&O Criminal Intent). And Buffy's own Mayor Wilkins was on CSI last night and I get the feeling he will be back.

And yeah...i watch a lot of tv. But I am a big multitasker and I am usually doing ten othr things while watching the tv...like making action figure customs or sewing costumes etc. Idle hands and idle thoughts...devil's playthings.

Not Dead Yet....

I am almost through this hateful time yall...Oklahoma! opens on tuesday and I should have more time after that. So expect an episode to drop next week sometime. It might be a tiny one focusing on comics, news,maybe a brief review and then I will get to the Valentine Spectacular with an essay on Wes and Fred...and then maybe I can do that crossover episode with Strangely Literal....

In the meantime check out the Starkville's House of El interview with former Buffy and Angel writer/producer Steven S. DeKnight. He talks alot about his Buffy and Angel time and its a great interview. Then stick around and listen to the rest of their podcasts...they run a stellar show!
