"I didn’t know I was this geeky until I discovered the online world through my office’s 2400 baud modem back in ’93." Joss Whedon posts to Whedonesque.com
TV- and filmmaker and creator of the Buffy, Angel and Firefly series Joss Whedon posts to our site, Whedonesque.com:
Honestly, I come here so often it’s embarrassing. But this is the source. I get to find out what my actors and writers are up to, what movies I’m directing… it’s excellent! See, I’ve secretly been kind of a fan of me for some time now. I’ve seen everything I’ve ever done. I’d love to meet me, but I’d probably just stare and not be able to say anything witty or anything.
But also:
So many people are acting like there’s little difference between Kerry and Bush and that is not the case. If you’re for Bush I doubt I can sway you but if you’re one of those people grumbling about politicians all being the same I’m begging you to look hard at the facts and at the smirking face of the man who is doing more damage to this country than any president in my lifetime. We cannot let apathy decide our fate. I’m sounding all soapbox-y but I am truly afraid for our economic infrastucture, our dwindling natural reserves and most of all our place in the world. We need to act.
Whedonesque.com is a relatively new site to the Buffyverse, unlike places like The Bronze where Joss and the other Mutant Enemy writers generally post. Which is why we’re quite chuffed.

Did the IP it was posted from seem legit? I wasn’t sure it was really him when I first read it.
Matt, we set that account up for him and he got his login and pw from us. It’s completely legit. (VIP posters’ user names appear in purple.)
Awesome. I wonder what he thinks of Sarah Michelle Gellar showing up on a “republican babes” site a while back (you saw that on metafilter, right?)
I did see it. Apparently, Tim Minear, who he worked with for years is a republican too, and so are other actors of his. It shouldn’t be and probably isn’t a problem at work.
