Okay, several things are ready to go. The schedule has been posted in full version and divided up by days, depending on what you want to look at. We're working on a downloadable PDF version, so look for that in the coming days. I've also added a map of the Hyatt's floor plan as provided by Dragon*Con so you can check out where our big events will be located. I'll eventually get a map up of the Hilton so you can easily find our track room. And it's also with great pride that I announce a brand new section to our webpage! Now it's not entirely ready yet, but it's very very close to being viewable. So, in the coming week, I'm going to open up the brand new Whedon Universe FanZone! This section grew out of my desire to help out our fandom. The new section will include transcripts and summaries of every Buffy, Angel, and Firefly episode. We're affiliating with Screencap-Paradise, a wonderful website run by some really good people. Eventually, I'd like this section to be the home of all our fan contests for Fiction, Art, and Vidding, with the winning pieces being hosted, for free, by us! I feel like I'm forgetting something, but, well, it's been a long day of code writing and image resizing. I've still got a list of things that need fixing, but don't worry, I'll get to them. Enjoy the new features and watch for that FanZone!

The Fan Zone is awesome and the idea in itself is great. All of us writer types will truly benefit from it.

Now if only I could get my ass in gear with those transcripts. That's what's taking so long right now because there is just soooooo much that needs to be done before they're post worthy. I can only do so much code! I'm glad everyone is enjoying the website. I know it still has a few kinks that I can't quite figure out, but I'm rather pleased with it on a whole.

It does actually. The only reason it's taking so long to code is because every line has to have a <p> tag and there are stage directions to put in italics and things to bold and it's just really tedious work. If anyone would like to help out, be sure to let me know, and I'll shoot you a transcript in need of coding and instructions on what to do.

Totally. Any volunteers will be working on Season Two, since I'm half done with season One and it's now become a battle of wills, me against the code. I'll send that right on over to you.

Okay, I've been working my ass off and I've finally got something for you guys to look at. Now I haven't linked this to the main website yet as it is in extreme beta mode at the moment, but the FanZone is ready, I feel, for someone other than me to gaze at it. Whedon Universe FanZoneThe only thing that works at the moment is Season One of Buffy, but it's a start! There are transcripts, original air dates, and credit info for all twelve of the original episodes. Each of the other seasons already have their pages set up, but none of the transcript links work just yet. You can have fun looking at the pictures though!

Thanks! I'm focusing a large part of my effort at the moment on the season 8 page since I think it will be a nice thing for fans. I've got scans of all the variant covers and I'm going to personally transcribe and summarize each of the issues at some point this week. That way the folks who can't get them at stores can at least know what's going on.
That being said, more updates! I've added the Angel Store to the website. Since my Buffy wall clock was so popular, I made a matching one for Angel. I'm still working on a Firefly one but am having trouble finding cute enough things to replace the times with.

Oh, and Wayne added a map of the floorplan for the Hilton, since that's where our track rooms will be. It can be found on the Hotels Page.

In an effort to help out with to help out with the misprintings in the official Dragon*Con Pocket Guide, we've posted our own Whedon Universe version on the main schedule page. It is a printable PDF file for your convenience.
