Before I do anything else, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOMMY. I love you dearly and hope today is as wonderful as you are. And now for the challenge: I’m just going to jump right into this because I am running super behind on like … everything in my life right now. Luckily for me, though, my favorite…

One-shots are fucking hard. I have a difficult enough time as it is trying to keep my stories from becoming epics, and I don’t even have the backlog of continuity that the McElroys have to balance in the meantime. Not only that, but now that the Balance arc is completed, the suspense is definitely more…

I really don’t like talking negatively about The Adventure Zone, but seeing as this challenge is all about making sure I am critical of even my favorite things, well … I have to admit even when the show falls short. Granted, this is going to be a fairly quick entry because I don’t really have…

Alright, I know I said that “The Eleventh Hour” is my favorite arc, and I stand by that firmly. It’s the most narratively satisfying, and I love the relationships the Tres Horny Boys develop with the various NPCs so much more than in a lot of the other arcs*. While the finale of that arc is definitely…

In my last blog, I frequently referred to Sophie’s Choice, and I’m going to invoke it here because dammit, I love all of the arcs. Each has its own shortcomings, of course, except for “The Eleventh Hour,” which is perfect and nothing you can say will change my mind.

Well, this is super easy! A friend of mine was on Facebook was talking about the podcast very vaguely, and I wondered what all the hype was about. She sent me a link, and I browsed the internet for further information, even daring to lurk on Reddit.

ZOMG. Okay, so I might be a little excited about my next challenge because I absolutely love what I’ll be covering. Although I’ve listened to podcasts for years, I was never really a regular audience member, eagerly awaiting each episode, but after bingeing the first arc of The Adventure Zone, I was hooooooooked. The podcast started as kind of a…

If there was any show that has inspired me more than any other, it is 100% Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I can’t even deny it; many shows have inspired me as a writer afterward (Parks and Recreation, Battlestar Galactica, and Orphan Black, just to name a few), but none of those even hold a candle to how much…

Buffy the Vampire Slayer never really ended: it continued, at least until September of this year, in comic form, and there’s apparently a reboot/reimagining/continuation/whatever in the works, about which I have many, conflicting feelings. I was actually surprised at the number of BTVS novels that exist, and my to-read pile just got that much larger, even…

Honestly, this was actually incredibly difficult because I had to choose between two episodes: Season Four’s “A New Man” and Season Two’s “The Dark Age.” Rupert Giles spends a lot of time and effort presenting himself in a proper manner, using his speech and intelligence to prove that, yes, he is indeed the smartest person…
