Hello. I've created this tumblr to highlight various nooks and crannies around the web related to the great Joss Whedon. I have no restrictions on format or content. This is just various stuff I've found through the years that I want to make sure other Whedon fans get a chance to see as well.

Joss Whedon is primarily known as creator of one of the most critically acclaimed and academically studied television shows ever produced: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. He also created and executive produced BUFFY's successful spinoff ANGEL, the cult favorite FIREFLY and the highly controversial DOLLHOUSE. He is a big player in the burgeoning web series industry (R. TAM SESSIONS, DR. HORRIBLE'S SING-ALONG BLOG), and perhaps is best known to movie fans as a director of THE AVENGERS. His other film projects include SERENITY, THE CABIN IN THE WOODS, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, and IN YOUR EYES. Whedon is also active in the world of comic books.
Disclaimery goodness: I am a random person. I don't represent or speak for anyone or anything even vaguely official. None of the content linked to belongs to me unless I say otherwise in the specific post.
