Spotlight on Fandoms: Fray

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"All I know is that I wanted something vaguely futuristic, and I really wanted there to be flying cars. I needed flying cars in the story because I wanted them there because -- and I can't say this enough -- THEY ARE SO COOL!"

- Joss Whedon

In the future, the slayer line continues with another girl. Her name is Melaka Fray.

( The Premise: )

( The Characters: (Spoilers!) )

( So why should I read Fray? )

( Is the Fray Mini-Series the only place I can find Melaka Stories? )

( Where can I find copies of Fray? )

So there it is. Questions? Comments? Pie?

The Story of Firefly and Serenity a.k.a. Why FOX Needs to Die in a Fire

[bigdamnprincipal]

Once upon a time, there was a man named Joss Whedon. Joss was best known for making a little TV show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as its spin-off Angel. After deciding that he was pretty good at this whole television thing, Joss created a third show in 2002 called Firefly, to combine two of his favorite, yet untapped, creative resources - westerns and outer space.

( Wait, I thought this fandom was about something called Serenity? )

Spotlight on Fandoms: Dark Angel

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Dark Angel was a show created by Charles Eglee (Murder One) and James Cameron (yes, that James Cameron) that ran on FOX from 2000-2002. If the mention of FOX is any clue whatsoever, you could probably guess that Dark Angel was cancelled due to low ratings - despite a fairly large and vocal fan base - and budget costs. You would then be absolutely correct.

In fact, FOX decided to cancel Dark Angel to make way for quite a few new shows, one of them being Firefly (*waves to Katie's Spotlight post*) as well as Fastlane, girls club and John Doe. Remember those shows? Yeah, me neither. Good job, FOX.
