SERIOUSLY how did I just come across this AMA 1 minute after it ended?!?!

Just my luck.

Dear Joss,

I'm a massive aca-fan of yours; I'll actually be presenting a paper on Buffy at a conference in Boston this weekend and I'm also working on a chapter for a forthcoming book on Buffy fandom. I'm even considering writing on you for my master's thesis (just reminds me of that scene where the woman from the Watchers Council meets Spike..."Heard of me, have you?" "I wrote my thesis on you.")

Anyway, to the questions! I have a lot, but I will try to limit myself. I of course don’t expect you to respond to all (or any) of my inquiries:

1) You've been said to encourage fanfiction. How do you feel about scholarship about your work and the fact that academics tend to delve quite deeply into it, perhaps to the point of publishing interpretations you did not intend?

2) Do you ever arrange interviews with people studying your work?

3) Do you have any advice for those of us who aspire to work in the entertainment industry? Especially if our (my) only background is in academia?

4) How does one get to be so awesome?

5) Can I work for you?

Okay, that got a little out of hand. I'll go do the dance of joy now!

My absolute favorite Firefly episode.

Now that is what you call irony.
