Community Spotlight:

Today was a busy day in the Whedonverse. Joss's new show, Dollhouse, has some promotional pictures on the web, the planned showing schedule was released, and there's also a trailer available. However, we're a Firefly/Serenity newsletter, and while we will continue to link news of new projects for our beloved cast and crew, our focus will continue to be on this small piece of the Whedonverse.

So, where can you find the latest information on Dollhouse and other Joss projects? Best place to start is Whedonesque.com. If you've never been there, you really should check them out. They link to tidbits of information about anything to do with the Whedonverse. And, sometimes, if they're really lucky, The Man himself comments.

Community Spotlight:

So, you've written a Atherton/Saffron fic. Or maybe Wash/Fanty, because Fanty's the prettier one. Or even a Kaylee/Nandi one. But now you're not sure where to post it, because, let's face it, those aren't exactly popular pairings. Well, why not give [info]random_urges a look/see?

They're a community specifically for those rare pairings that people occasionally get a bunny for. And they're not just for fic. Got some fanart or icons for a rare pairings? Post it there. They've been pretty quiet for a while, so I'm sure they'd love an influx of new material.
