I just want to got to know you all (conterary of joss for comeing up with the Idea see i was bugging him and he said "Jaxxson Shut the hell up and go spam the board " so thats what i'am doing i just want to know what your into and like Good to know that you know how to pick up hidden meanings in my words man ;D All right, so I was born in Costa Rica. I'm a bastard child and very casual about it. Have never meat my father and frankly don't care. English is my second language, Spanish being the first. I started watching Buffy during Season 6 (yes I came into the game very, very late) but since then I have watched all of the earlier and later episodes. I was never a true blue Buffy fan, I liked it but I was never as obssesed with it as I am with both Firefly and Angel. I own the first three seasons of Angel plus the complete Firefly. Aside from Buffy I love Star Wars, Matrix, and Lord of the Rings so I am battling both Andrew and David Nabbit for the title of the "quintesential nerd". Also like Jaxxson fan of the Gamecube. And that's it I guess. EDIT: a couple more fun facts about me. Favorite Movie: The Shawshank RedemptionFavorite Book: 'Salem's Lot by Stephen KingFavorite Song: Layla by Derick & The Dominoes

Also a relative latecome to the Jossverse - didn't get turned on to Buffy until 2 years ago - just in time for all the shows to go boom - in terms of "the love" I like Firefly most, then Angel, and Buffy comes in third but those 3 shows are the best. ever. television.
I don't play computer games, I am on a computer about 90% of my time at work so I usually post late at night to give my fingers a rest. No, I'm not a techie I just manipulate and extract data for my job. Which is a 9 to 5 because alas I am pretty much a grown up. Oh, and I have a hard time sitting still for more than 5 minutes at a time. I like to run with my dog and my other hobby is reading all the fanfic out on the internet.
ETA - my music tastes run the gamut from Mozart & Bach to Matchbox 20 and Wheezer and Maroon 5 (my current favorite) - but no hip hop or heavy metal so yeah boring but it's all good to me ... and I read constantly, all kinds of stuff, and I wait for movies to hit cable before I watch them. And like I said, not a gamer. Take me as I am ...

Hello
I just finished school and started my first real job a few weeks ago. I'm a 22 year old single American. Unlike everyone else here, I'm a longtime Buffy fan. I saw the first airing of the pilot episode, but I had no idea what it was at the time. I assumed it was the Buffy movie. I don't watch much prime time television, so I watched most of the episodes in syndication. I've never seen an episode of Firefly.
Otherwise I'm just adjusting to working, trying to sleep normal hours, and making a half-assed attempt to put together an apartment. I've never been any sort of a writer, but I'll occasionally read about putting together movie scripts. Now if you don't mind I have to go reinflate my bed.

Hey guys,
I'm a 21 yo student doctor from the uk. Been a huge fan of Buffy since the first episode was shown on BBC2 all those years ago. Have every episode on tape and same with Angel (apart from latest season). I'm a huge fan of horror movies, well really movies of any type. I go to the cinema a lot!!
I spend a lot of time working but on a break at the moment so got way too much time on my hands which I'm not used to! ;D Just moving house at the moment which is a nightmare. Keep finding things I thought I lost long ago...
Anyway gotta run. Laters.

Greetings and salutations! I'm a 29 year-old father of 3 who also came late into the Whedonverse.... late season 5 or so. For some time, the only station we could pick up reliably carried first-run Buffy on Sunday nights, so I started watching it every week. Then came the musical Since then my wife and I have become HUGE fans; we have all the DVD sets of Buffy and Angel, and .mpgs of the rest. The funny thing is, we HATED Angel when he was on Buffy.... seemed like a gratuitous pretty boy, and we just kinda "tuned him out" whenever possible. But when we finally gave up and gave the Angel series a try... wow. Not only were they able to make me care about Angel, but Cordy and Wesley as well. My only real hobby these days is video games. I own a PS2, a GameCube, an Xbox, a GameBoy Advance, a Dreamcast, and damn near every console made before that.

Hi, I am a 19-year-old living in Michigan and I just graduated from High School and I am debating attending college for computer programming or for video production courses. Not entirely sure what I want to major in but I am sure it will come to me eventually.
Games: I own a Playstation 1 and 2 and a really cheap computer I can play Wolfenstein on. My number one favorite game of all time, Final Fantasy 7. I enjoyed the Resident Evil game series up until the movie and all the cheap games they started to put out. I own Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid: The Sons of Liberty. My number two favorite game of all time would be from the original Nintendo and that would be the Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt game (with the gun for Duck Hunt).
Music: I listen to punk music, now don’t think of Blink 182 and Good Charlotte, I am talking about real punk such as Anti-flag, Nofx, Bad Religion and Pennywise. I enjoy a few AFI songs and quite a few Rancid songs. My favorite non-punk band would have to be Sublime.
Books: I am a huge reader; I read books anywhere from Dante’s Inferno all the way down to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and then back up a little ways to Star Wars. Mythology, History and books are where I draw most of my inspiration.
Movies: What can I say, I love movies. Nuff said.
I suppose that is enough information needed.

Hi Guys and Gals,
Im 21. I live in a minute town in Mpumalanga in South Africa. Im currently studying Biochemistry via correspondence, which is really tough, so most of my time is spent studying. Any spare time I have I use to watch my fav shows and read my fav books.
Speaking of which my fav shows are : Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Farscape, Startrek Voyager ( mmm Seven of Nine), Stargate, Dark Angel and Alias ( In no particular order). My absolute all time favourite book in the Hitchhukers guide to the galaxy omnibus ( I read it at least once a month, not kidding). I also love Anne Rices Vampire chronicles and her Mayfair Trilogy.
I used to play video games when I had tonnes of time on my hands i.e. in High school, but I dont really have time anymore. My favourite all time movies are all three Austen Powers movies (they are funnier every time), and The Emperors New Groove ( If you havent seen it yet rent it today and watch it at least 2 times, Youll want to buy it after that).
Im absolutely passionate about music and probably have music playing about 12 hours a day. My current favourite CD is Dido's Life for rent.
Thats me in a nutshell
Inyan ( My real name is Chris )

Okay, I'm gonna do this thing. I'm 22, just graduated from college. I was an English major, and I did as much film as I could at college. I made a few short films, and I have written some short scripts that I haven't made into films - probably because I let them sink in and realized they were crap. I'd really love to get into television writing some day so I was thrilled that Joss started this thing (although he could have picked a better time than right before my finals). I've worked on writing some Buffy scripts, but I'm also creating a story arc running through them so I haven't finished them. That's what summer is for though. At least, that's what i tell myself. I finally got a job yesterday - back up at my college, I'll be working in the film dept. I'm excited about that. And I'm excited about this season we're making. It's gonna be cool. Or lukewarm. Probably cool. Favorite shows: Buffy, Simpsons, Sports Night, Angel, Farscape, Daily Show, and Firefly - love me the Firefly. Favorite Book (for now): Middlemarch by George Eliot Favorite movies (these are random): Kill Bill, Far From Heaven, About a Boy, Finding Nemo, Return of the King, Solaris Favorite music: Morcheeba, Garbage, lots of film scores. Happy Fourth, everyone.

Post by Monster Zero on Oct 15, 2004 15:10:19 GMT
well, i know this is an old thread but i think it's intro time..
just want to start by saying I think Hellsing rocks too ^_^
My name's Lee, i'm a 25 year old writer and musician living in the UK, I run a website that hosts a variety of virtual series as well as writing/producing about 10 shows myself, and I'm the guitarist and founder of rock band Wavelength, a mix of stoner rock, electronics and female vocals...
I've been a Buffy fan since day one and got into writing for it about 5 years ago when I started the first draft of what would eventually become my spin-off, Chris & Sunday.
previous to that, i've been writing screenplays since 1994 but in recent years I've focused on episodic TV, mainly because I prefer more time to work with my characters, and a 45-inute episode length suits my sense of pacing better!
my favourite bands are people like Muse, Nine Inch Nails and White Zombie, my top three movies would be Aliens, Fight Club and Star Wars, and my top three anime are Hellsing, Bubblegum Crisis 2040 and Perfect Blue.

Ahoy hoy, all. Lesse, about me... I didn't see a Welcome Thread for newbs (then again, I didn't look very hard ) so I decided to make a grand, enigmatic entrance here. *makes a grand, enigmatic entrance here* Anyway, I'm a seventeen year-old wannabe writer. Yes, I'm still in high school, but... so...? I've been a fan of both Buffy and Angel for about two years now, and I have all the DVD box sets that have been released. --You sound like you're bragging; change the subject. My hobbies include reading, writing, playing video games (mostly RPGs, but I do make exceptions), and surfing message boards. My favorite games include the Chrono Series, and Kingdom Hearts (of which I have a fanfiction of floating around the Net somewhere). I have other games I like, but I can't remember them at the moment... Favorite authors include Jasper Fforde, Anne Rice, and Neil Gaiman. I'm a particular fan of the Thursday Next series, and Neil Gaiman's graphic novel series "The Sandman". I'm also a "Hellblazer" and "Lucifer" fan. As for movies, my tastes are kind of eclectic: Fight Club, Kill Bill, What Women Want, Interview With the Vampire, The Devil's Advocate, and- ahem- You've Got Mail. I suppose that's everything anybody ever wanted to know about me...

Hey there Elysium, welcome to the site.
Err, no we actually don't have a welcome thread, since not that many people join us. Although that is changing now that we've premiered. But yeah, we probably could (and should) have a Welcome Thread for Newbies.
