Avengers Giveaway!

“I love fantasy. I love horror. I love musicals. Whatever doesn't really happen in life is what I'm interested in. As a way of commenting on everything that does happen in life, because ultimately the only thing I'm really interested in is people.”

Joss Whedon is one of my favorite creative minds of our current generation. He’s the man behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and the driving force that made The Avengers into the phenomenon it has become. That’s not even mentioning his fantastic thriller, Cabin in the Woods, or his mind-bending idea for Dollhouse. Simply put, Joss Whedon is a talent the likes of which I aim to become someday.

For my first ever contest, I wanted to pay homage to this marvelous man, and so I am announcing the Avengers Giveaway!

What are the prizes?

* The Avengers Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack



*******

* A Loki pendant/necklace created by the amazing Megan (be sure to check out her Etsy shop at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/oxyx2001)

Now to close, some more inspirational words from this visionary hero:

“I also don't trust Caribou anymore. They're out there, on the tundra, waiting... Something's going down. I'm right about this.”

"Regeneration!" or "How I returned to blog about all things nerdy."

Well, this is rather embarrassing, now isn’t it? I’ve left this blog to collect dust, when I very well should have been updating regularly.

So where have I been? All kinds of places! I’ve explored my first several comic book conventions (experiences which in themselves warrant a separate post), gone on a number of vacations, found and lost love, discovered the majestic fandom surrounding Doctor Who, and of course I’ve also done a fair bit of writing.

The good news is that I’m back, and not going anywhere anytime soon! In fact, there are a lot of exciting things on the horizon that I am eager to share with anyone who is interested in reading.

What can you expect on here? Here’s a handy list!

1. Updates on my writing projects, both original and fan fiction.
2. Announcements regarding my soon-to-be published first novel, look forward to this soon!
3. Rants about fandoms.
4. Reviews of movies, videogames, books, comics, or anything else that piques my interest.
5. Links to other like-minded nerds, talented artists, and other fun things!
6. The occasional random cute picture.
7. Likely many more things that aren’t dancing to the top of my mind now.

I hope you’re as excited as I am. Keep your eyes peeled, several updates will be coming very soon! In fact, I’ll be attempting to make at least one or two posts every week, hopefully even more.

As such, stay tuned! More is on the way! And thank you for reading. Don’t forget to refer your friends!
