Whedonesque Mobile : Comments on 19650 : Hey, even Xander Harris twitters.

Now if only we could get Nick to twitter!

Dopplegangland

There are a lot of people posing as characters. I came across an entire Star Trek: TNG crew who all followed only each other. It seems to be the latest in the variation PBP RPing.

Now if only we could get Nick to twitter!

And Joss!

electricspacegirl | March 26, 17:57 CET

Huh. IMO, it's kind of stupid. Reminds me why I don't read most of the unofficial cannon Buffy books. Nobody captures the characters the way Joss and his writers do.

Deanna_Lynne | March 26, 18:00 CET

This one is even more fun. Just make sure to click on "next day", because it doesn't end there.

Remember when The First Evil had a Livejournal? Those were the days.

electricspacegirl | March 26, 18:01 CET

Jinx, electricspacegirl.

Taaroko | March 26, 18:04 CET

I'll admit the LiveJournal First Evil is pretty funny.

Deanna_Lynne | March 26, 18:07 CET

Hehe! Love the First's LiveJournal!

Shep | March 26, 18:25 CET

The past day he's been twittering Doppelgangland, but doing it wrong :(

It is annoying due to my obsessive knowledge of the early seasons. It's still fun to follow the characters' tweets though.

jkalderash | March 26, 18:33 CET

I also follow @DarthVadar. He's one funny cat.

And yes, Joss definitely needs to tweet! I enjoy following @james_gunn

Just wish we had more Whedon tweeters.
Anyone want to start a follow list of Whedonesque.com users?

@kbarrett is my mine.

@quotergal

Some days I won't STFU and sometimes I disappear for days on end. But I can guarantee unending rudeness, occasional offensive language, and the Poem of the Day - when I remember to do it.

Checked out a number of the Buffyverse/Angelverse LJs - some quite funny bits. This was exactly the spirit of the Friendster Fakesters when I used to play all these many social media moons ago - role-playing (as opposed to actually pretending to be celebrities, like some do, apparently.)

It was all yar and stuff, pretending to be the late Bill Hicks and Carl Jung and the Green Orion Slave Girl, but then Jon Abrams got his knickers in a twist & deleted us painfully & repeatedly.

QuoterGal | March 26, 19:32 CET

Oh I love this sort of thing myself.

I used to love soulvamps (Spikes) live journal whose journal entries ran in tandem with the show as it aired.

http://soulvamp.livejournal.com/2003/02/06/

Great fun. *g*

sueworld2003 | March 26, 19:57 CET

@alexreager

But I don't twitter much. I pitter and I patter but I rarely twitter or tatter.

alexreager | March 26, 20:05 CET

@jwhedonaddict

"Hello, Joss? Joss? Joss? Hell-oooo? Are you here, lurking? If you are, please join Twitter. We know you don't have the time for much else (other than the occasional, few and far between posts here), and you can even tweet from your phone! Please, please, please....pretty please? With Eliza on top?"

er...that came out wrong.

I'm content with having @drhorrible.

I'm the obvious @skittledog, although I tend to use it more to follow others and post occasional boring thoughts I have than to actually be entertaining or informative in any way.

skittledog | March 26, 20:13 CET

And I think @CordyChase and @Wesley_Price are other characters.

BlindHawkeyes | March 26, 20:41 CET

@bubblecat - I too promise bad language. Perhaps you could all help me with telling the lovely twitters that @joshwhedon is not joss! (It's driving me a little mad).

bubblecat | March 26, 21:12 CET

@sunshineguinn ^_^

sunshineguinn | March 26, 21:14 CET

Cool. After months of being signed up on Twitter, I officially have one follower. (Obviously from this thread)

I feel like Navin Johnson finding his name in the phone book for the first time...I'm somebody!

alexreager | March 26, 21:18 CET

bubblecat, I do the same thing. I mean, the nerve!

electricspacegirl | March 26, 21:19 CET

Another reason for Joss to join, to give the imposter something else to do. That's why Nathan joined MySpace, after all.

josswhedonaddict | March 26, 21:27 CET

electricspacegirl I mean, Josh must be feeling very loved but it's just not cricket, is it! I have added everyone so far - it's like a lovely lot of new people to join in with my random swearing!

bubblecat | March 26, 21:28 CET

bubblecat Hee!

josswhedonaddict | March 26, 21:32 CET

Uh....there's an @josswhedon now, that supposedly started tweeting Feb 4th.

Ameer | March 26, 21:36 CET

@jcurries

jcs | March 26, 21:48 CET

Can you imagine all the witty things Joss could say in 140 characters? I'd burst out laughing in the most inappropriate public places and be branded completely off my rocker!

@Deanna_Lynne

Once I have a spare moment, I'll follow all you Whedonesque peeps!

ETA: Apparently I screwed up and had to open a new account.

Deanna_Lynne | March 26, 22:09 CET

Hah, love the First Evil journal, thanks for linking it! The rampant plot holes of season 7 at least lead to some delightful creative whining. This fandom wouldn't be nearly so fun without its healthy dark side.

@yjenn
I occasionally twitter whedon-related stuff, random links & life bits; just signed up a little while ago.

Jav | March 26, 22:10 CET

That happens to me just from recalling scenes or lines or gag reels, etc. Was at a fabric store once and saw a strawberry shortcake fabric that said "tutu cute" and all I could think of was Gunn's line about guys and their big ass packages jumping up and down and I completely lost it. After 12 years, I give up caring about what people think.

I'm following a lot of you whedony people now, if you're wondering who that girl is.

Is @alysonhannigan the real Alyson? I just started following her.

kerfuffle | March 26, 22:57 CET

dunno kerfuffle, i thought so until I saw she was following all of the characters

wilder | March 26, 23:02 CET

I'm seriously doubting it. Wouldn't she be using an updated pic at least? Felicia Day and Amber Benson always use personal photos.

And she's way too cool for such a lame bio.

[ edited by josswhedonaddict on 2009-03-26 23:04 ]

josswhedonaddict | March 26, 23:03 CET

I will keep following her just like I follow joshwhedon cause i got nothing better to do!

wilder | March 26, 23:07 CET

@crazygolfa

Yeah, very imaginative. ;)

crazygolfa | March 26, 23:07 CET

There's also Adam Busch who's the real deal - and nifty if you're into (my kinda) politics, too.

I'm rather fond of FakeTJefferson as well - "he" may not say much, but what he does say is generally cherce.

QuoterGal | March 26, 23:24 CET

Felicia Day's is real too. I'm pretty sure Juliet Landau's is also legit.

@feliciaday
@julietlandau

@sandeepparikh (of The Guild) also real.

josswhedonaddict | March 26, 23:30 CET

oh, I just joined twitter too (on account of Amber Benson, Juliet Landau and Felicia Day being there) and I imediately started spotting and following whedonesque people (so, of course, I will now follow everybody from this thread)...

and I'm:

@JoTheCat ..

JotheCat | March 26, 23:31 CET

Krusher | March 26, 23:36 CET

I just got a message on the Twitter home page that Twitter is over capacity. Does anyone think/hope that's because of us Whedonesquers?

Deanna_Lynne | March 26, 23:48 CET

Nah, i get that message all the time and i have only been on twitter a week!

wilder | March 26, 23:49 CET

Still fairly new to the whole twitter thing and I don't do much of interest, so I'm pretty boring, but there you have it.

Both Tim Minear and Marty Noxon are on twitter but they are protected from the world at large :)

buffywrestling | March 27, 00:01 CET

I'm away from my computer right now, but I read an article this morning over on SciFi Wire about the "18 great scifi twitterers" that mentions some cool people, including Felicia Day, in case anyone wants to link it to this thread.

Deanna_Lynne | March 27, 00:05 CET

@ellerulz is me.

I've been following all the legit whedonverse actors for a while and it's actaully really fun, especially when they start following someone else that I know of from somewhere else. The beautiful sound of fandoms colliding and all that.

18 Sci-Fi Twitter Feeds You Should Be Following

Thanks Wilder!

Deanna_Lynne | March 27, 00:34 CET

Alright, I'm stalking you all. Enjoy.

Except Ameer. Are you sure @ameer_ is correct?

korkster | March 27, 00:51 CET

I am @embers (surprise surprise)
But I'm just there to follow celebrities (because I'm shallow), and I want to know if Maurissa and or Jed are the ones texting as @drhorrible and/or @captainhammer?
Inquiring minds want to know!

embers | March 27, 00:54 CET

I think Joss should have his assistant twitter, so he can keep busy writing and working. And playing with his kids.

@auntiesunshine

deadbessie | March 27, 01:02 CET

@rachelkachel

I mostly started because I wanted to follow Neil Gaiman, and Felicia Day was an unexpected bonus. Then I dragged my brother and sister into it. I don't post very often.

Rachelkachel | March 27, 01:19 CET

I'm imaginatively called @gossi on twitter. Tune in for updates about Boreanaz on the Dollhouse set (no, that's not a spoiler) and about my dreams.

gossi | March 27, 01:24 CET

Sorry, all I have is a Trakfone and that's never even been activated so you'll not be seeing Tweets from me.

DaddyCatALSO | March 27, 01:37 CET

I'm me. I'm pretty full up on people I follow, need to start cutting down again (I started cutting down at 100 follows and now I'm up to 280...), so I may not automatically add y'all, but if you're not prolific I probably will. :)

ETA: Oh, and you don't need a phone to tweet. Just web access via computer or whatever.

@danregal on twitter.

Tonya J | March 27, 04:01 CET

Oh! Also, if you want to follow the California Browncoats, we have a twitter as well. It will be more active as we get closer to Comic-Con. Plus we'll live tweet from the floor like we did at WonderCon.

@CAbrowncoats

This will be the best way for those attending to know when special events happen.

danregal | March 27, 04:15 CET

This is always an on going question; we know that @Maddow IS Rachel Maddow, but we also know that @KeithOlbermann1 is NOT Keith Olbermann (he whined about it a lot on his show and evidently twitter shut it down!), and I don't think @keitholbermann is either (they have a locked twitter page, but in Keith's rantings he said he is not on twitter at all).
I do wish we could know for sure who is twittering under the names of @DrHorrible (Zack Whedon?) or @captainhammer (Jed or Maurissa?)!

embers | March 27, 04:26 CET

Embers, @drhorrible is Jed and Maurissa. Mostly Maurissa.

For all the people who have only recently signed up, check your @replies regularly (tab on the right side of your home page). @replies are public tweets sent to you (as opposed to direct messages); for instance, @replies to me will start with @cabri. Only tweets that start with your @reply will drop into this tab if you don't use an app.

Also, once you follow a fair number of people, go into your notices (under settings) and try out the 3 methods of getting @reply tweets in your main timeline.

'No @replies' means you'll never see an @reply in your main timeline, even ones to you. You'll still be able to see @replies to you in your @reply tab.
'@replies to people you follow' means you'll only see an @reply if it's sent to you or to someone you're following, which means you'll avoid pages and pages of celebrity twitterers saying thanks and answering questions. This is what most people choose.
'All @replies' means you'll see every single tweet written by the people you follow.

cabri | March 27, 04:29 CET

@tlacook I whine a lot about work and stuff in general. Also much cussing about LA traffic.

TamaraC | March 27, 04:40 CET

Surprise: @nypinta But mine are protected so it might take a while for me to accept. And sometimes someone will request, because I get an email that says so, but when I go to that page to allow, they disappear so I can't. Twitter still has plenty of bugs to work out.
BTW, it's too late to win Brent Spiner's 5ooth tweet. He gave that away to one lucky follower yesterday. But maybe he'll have a 1000th? And Greg Grunberg is very chatty. Tweets in bunches. Like tweet grapes or something.

NYPinTA | March 27, 04:47 CET

It's not too late to win @neilhimself's 100K follower contest (he's Neil Gaiman if you missed it during the sign-up process). It's a picture captioning thing so many here would do well at it with all your pithy phrases. ;)

Personally, I'd appreciate it if kerfuffle would edit this post to add the tag, "twitter" so I can find this in a week (or year) from now, when I want to find one of your twitter names.

And wishing a great weekend to all my Whedonesquey friends.

alexreager | March 27, 15:51 CET

@afburns here.

I got an @ from the malcolmreynolds on there a while back and thought the whole thing was hillariously ridiculous.

Sometimes I think it would be interesting to create a Twitter account for one of my own fictional characters. Maybe if I ever get around to writing that novel, eh?

Someone should start a twitter for Serenity Now. Might be a good way to help promote it.
