ericadawn16I was looking in my Keith Topping books for a discussion on another journal when I found all these gems that I had totally forgotten about. The first quote has me laughing about FBI Special Agent Michael Casper and his getting Bradley Whitford for Cabin in the Woods and the second...LOL...
Joss Whedon on Aaron Sorkin:
I want to kill Aaron Sorkin, eat his brain and gain his knowledge because I love The West Wing so much. His stuff is just amazing.
Joss Whedon on fanfiction:
On the subject of fanfic I am aware that a good deal of it is naughty. My reaction to that is mixed; on the one hand, these are characters played by friends of mine, and the idea that someone is describing them in full naughtitude is a little creepy. On the other hand, eroticising the lives of fictional characters you care deeply about is something we all do, if only in our heads, and it certainly shows people care. So I'm not really against erotic fic and I certainly don't mind the other kind. I wish I'd had this kind of forum when I was a kid.
P.S. Both comments were made prior to 2002.
