Nicholas Brendon in the Web Series I Write!

[lifedoesntimitate]

Hello, all! I'm very new here, but I wanted to share some very exciting news. Basically, as the title says, I'm the head writer of a web series called "Robot, Ninja & Gay Guy." On Sunday, we had Nicholas Brendon himself as our very special guest star!

His episode will go up on Tuesday, June 1st, and we all hope that you'll watch and share it with everyone you know who might be as jazzed as we are about this. If you don't want to go through the effort of telling everyone you know, feel free to link them to this video where we announce his involvement: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjKC411_4QE. I'm the dopey guy geeking out on the left there. True story.

Anyway, we are trying very hard to make this episode our biggest and most viewed yet, as if it is, it'll increase the chances of us getting to do a season two, in which Nicky has already voiced his desire to be a recurring character.

Also, I don't know if any of you would be into this, but please do feel free to ask some questions about the show, about Nicky, about the experience. I can't promise I'll be able to answer everything, but I'll certainly do my best.

Thanks for your time. And please, share, share, share. Thanks all.

wow i hate to be rude but did you register just to post an ad for your web series? You didn't introduce yourself in the threads provided, you didn't sign up to get a watcher... Seems rather sketchy if you ask me...

[lifedoesntimitate]

Hi, Miss. Rogueh. Don't worry about seeming rude. It is what it is. It seems I already have some negative karma, which is unfortunate, but maybe some context will help clear things up.

I actually agree with you. It does seem sketchy on my part, which is exactly why the first thing I did when I found out about this wonderful site was to contact the people who run it. I sent them a long ol' e-mail about exactly what you're concerned with. I basically said that Nicky was a part of our series, and I would love to get the word out to other "Buffy" fans, but I didn't want it to seem weird that I, a perfect stranger, was just coming on to do that, as there was the chance -- likelihood, even -- that it would seem like I was just advertising, and wouldn't that seem kinda tacky? Would it maybe make more sense, I asked, if a staff member posted the news and mentioned that I'd be happy to answer some questions if there were any?

Anyway, I got a response back, basically saying that things were pretty lax here, and that it would be perfectly fine and acceptable to go ahead and post this news.

I do apologize, Miss. Rogueh, that I seem to have upset you. Thank you, though, for asking for some reasoning behind my actions, and for giving me the benefit of the doubt enough to give you an answer. I appreciate that.

That was a very diplomatic answer.

I'll be sure to tell people.

[alex_krycek]

sounds cool! i will advise a few of my peeps.

[whitecandy]

Great, thanks for letting us all know about this

[buffyfan21]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to check this out!

I just watched a few episodes. Funny stuff! Looking forward to the Nicholas Brendon episode.

[lifedoesntimitate]

Skytteflickan88 - Thank you. That was very kind of you to say.

alex_krycek - Thank you very kindly. We really do appreciate that.

whitecandy - Absolutely! Being a giant "Buffy" fan myself (as the linked video dorkily shows), I figured this would be a great place to find people who would like to know about this.

buffyfan21 - You're very welcome and thank you. Side note: I'm pretty much in love with that NO H8 picture you have there. I'm trying to name everyone, and realizing how many writers I just don't recognize. I assume they're all writers since I recognize Joss, David Fury, Doug Petrie (I think), Marti Noxon (probably) and my favorite little pocket-sized writer, Jane Espenson. But I can't place the others. Nonetheless, awesome picture.

Eric - Hey, your name is my name! Anyway, thanks so much for watching a few episodes. That'll give you some context for Nicky's episode on Tuesday. I'm glad you're enjoying them, as that's exactly why we make them.

To everyone - Please do feel free to ask any questions you all may have. We're all very excited about this, and we'd love to answer whatever we're able, unless it's super-spoilery, so feel free to ask away.

Hey, everyone. Just wanted to drop a little update. Over at buffyfest.blogspot.com/ there's an exclusive interview with Nicky, where he talks a bit about the show, about web series in general, and other fun stuff. Be warned as there are some mild spoilers about the comics here, so if you're a few months behind, you want to skip the very last question.

The woman on the end (the one who is preggers) is Rebecca Sinclair (AKA Rand Kirschner). Fury is in there too.

[lifedoesntimitate]

Ah! I assumed it was Marti because I don't know what Rebecca looks like... or, I suppose, I didn't know, and the first female writer that I wouldn't recognize who came to mind was Marti.

Still one of the coolest pictures I've seen.

Wow, that sounds awesome! I'll check it out, and I'd love to see the Nicholas Brendon episode!
