Whedonesque.com (also referred to as Whedonesque and spelled in the site's logo as WHEDONESQUE) is a collaborative weblog devoted to the works of Joss Whedon. At its inception in 2002, Whedonesque covered "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel", but has since expanded to follow Whedon's ongoing professional output, as well as the careers of cast and crew associated with Whedon projects. It is actively administered under a set of rules designed to minimize problems which had impacted other fan forums. As Whedon's popularity and involvement with the site have grown, the site has increased in profile and popularity. Since 2004, the site has been recognized in other media outlets by awards and citations of Whedon's writings originally posted to Whedonesque.

Beyond simply being an informational site, Whedonesque has been referenced in books and cited in academic papers. It is used by marketers to drum up interest in "Buffy" products and by comic book editors to gauge reader reactions. Whedon has occasionally posted his personal political views to the site, such as during the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. This led some to mistakenly believe that Whedonesque is Whedon's personal or official site and prompted some fans to take up the writers' cause.

History

Origin: 2002 through 2003

Whedonesque was started in mid-2002 by Caroline van Oosten de Boer, who remains the site owner as of August, 2008, and Milo Vermeulen. [cite web|title=Caroline's profile|url=http://whedonesque.com/user/3|accessdate=2008-07-30|publisher=Whedonesque.com] Whedonesque started with a set of rules designed to mandate linking to external sites, encourage civil conduct, discourage copyright violations, and minimize discussion of perpetually contentious issues.cite web|title=The Rules|url=http://whedonesque.com/?read=about|accessdate=2008-07-30|publisher=Whedonesque.com] The first print media mention of Whedonesque was a one sentence blurb in "USA Today" a month after its launch.

Growth: 2004 through 2006

The site began growing in popularity once Whedon himself started posting.cite web |title=The 100 Greatest Websites -- New & Improved |url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20165619_20165621_20167518_6,00.html |publisher="Entertainment Weekly"|date=2007-12-20 |accessdate=2008-05-12] Whedon first acknowledged reading Whedonesque in late 2004, [cite web |title=Joss admits to reading whedonesque.com |url=http://whedonesque.com/?comments=4669 |publisher=Whedonesque.com |date=2004-08-14 |accessdate=2008-05-12] and the account 'joss' was created for his use on August 15, 2004.

Late 2004 saw the first two recognitions of Whedonesque.com by major Internet media. On November 22, 2004, Whedonesque was selected as SciFi.com's Site of the Week, which remarked that it was a "first-rate weblog on all things Joss-related" that "has very clearly laid-out guidelines for posting and a solid policy on how to label spoilers."

Recognition: 2007 through 2008

In early 2007, Whedon announced the end of his relationship with the "Wonder Woman" movie in a Whedonesque post, [cite web |title=Satin Tights No Longer|url=http://whedonesque.com/comments/12385#more |last=Whedon |first=Joss |date=2007-02-02 |publisher=Whedonesque.com |accessdate=2008-05-12] which was directly cited in traditional media, including Reuters, [cite web |title=Whedon exits "Wonder Woman" pic |url=http://www.reuters.com/article/peopleNews/idUSN0535534320070206 |date=2007-02-05 |last=Kit |first=Borys |coauthor=Siegel, Tatiana |publisher=Reuters |accessdate=2008-05-12 The Reuters story was also picked up in " [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/04/AR2007020400152.html The Washington Post] "] the "Los Angeles Times", [cite web|title=From the ashes of film, Joss Whedon gave life to `Buffy’ on TV.

In August 2008, Wired cited Whedonesque in its coverage of the YouTube leak of a demo reel for the never-produced "Buffy the Animated Series".

At the same time major media outlets began noting Whedonesque.com as a source, it also received several more prominent recognitions, including "The Times" Online's Blog of the Week, awarded to Whedonesque on March 4, 2006. "The Times" review stated that "All the latest news items, rumours and sightings concerning the one-time wonder boy and the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer are logged daily by the kind of people who appreciate smart, sophisticated dialogue and plotting."

In May 2008, EW selected Whedonesque as eighth on their list of 25 Essential Fansites, calling it "a reservoir of material about anyone who's starred in (or, it would seem, breathed near) his nerd-magnet projects: Buffy, Angel, and Firefly/Serenity."

Whedon has used Whedonesque as a personal blog, comparing the Stoning of Du'a Khalil Aswad to the "Captivity" advertising controversy. [cite web |title=Let's Watch A Girl Get Beaten To Death |url=http://whedonesque.com/comments/13271 |last=Whedon |first=Joss |date=2007-05-20 |publisher=Whedonesque.com |accessdate=2008-05-12] He also posted multiple messages during the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike.

Impact

Books and academic papers

In addition to news outlets which have picked up stories and quotes from Whedonesque, the site has been referenced in a number of books and academic papers.

In September 2007, Whedonesque was one website cited in an MIT masters' thesis entitled "Television 2.0: Reconceptualizing TV as an Engagement Medium".

Concurrently, there has been a positive reaction at Whedonesque to academic interest in "Buffy" and other Whedon works. Whedonesque maintains a category for "academic" posts, [cite web|title=Browse by Category: Academic|publisher=Whedonesque.com|url=http://whedonesque.com/tag/academic|accessdate=2008-08-22] which includes notices of public lectures, [cite web|title="Buffy: Gender and Sci-fi" Lecture in NYC|url=http://whedonesque.com/comments/15572|date=2008-02-22|accessdate=2008-08-22|publisher=Whedonesque.com] calls for papers, [cite web|title=Call For Papers: Critical Studies in Television (CST) is asking for proposals for a book of essays on Firefly and Serenity|url=http://whedonesque.com/comments/10983|date=2006-07-30|accessdate=2008-08-22|publisher=Whedonesque.com] and academic analyses of Whedon projects.

Marketing and fandom

Even though site owner van Oosten de Boer stated that Whedonesque is "there to provide a service, not to influence anyone."

One participant remarked that "The Paley Center itself is trying kind of hard to figure out what this whole blogging thing is, and doesn’t quite get it, as evidenced by the fact that no urls appeared in the program for the event."

2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike

In late 2007, Whedon's posts about the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike prompted reader support for the writers which grew into a multi-fandom movement dubbed Fans4Writers. [cite web |title=Fans4Writers.com is up and running |url=http://whedonesque.com/comments/14679 |last=Bridges |first=C.A. |date=2007-11-09 |publisher=Whedonesque.com |accessdate= 2008-05-12] "The Wall Street Journal" noted this novel use of Whedonesque and similar sites. [cite news|title=The Picket Line Is The Place to Meet A Writer in L.A.|url=http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB119699082174316559-p_75BiBgTo3A6vtuE4KAlqd_99E_20080106.html?mod=tff_main_tff_top|last=McBride|first=Sarah|date=2007-12-07|accessdate=2008-08-19|publisher="The Wall Street Journal"] "Rolling Stone" featured Whedonesque.com as one of four websites mentioned in "The Best Strike Writing" [cite news|last=Edwards|first=Gavin|title=The Best Strike Writing|date=2007-12-13|issue=1041|page=42|work=Rolling Stone] and "Buffy" writer Jane Espenson specifically credited Whedonesque readers for providing pizza to the striking writers.
