We're having a contest!

It's the Whedonverse Haiku Review contest and it could win you a very cute goodie bag full of stuff. Some of the things are left over from our own Buffyfests. Some are from the now extinct OMWF Sing-along gift bag. It's cute stuff...you want it and we want to give it to you.

So here are the rules:
  1. Write a "haiku review" of any Whedonverse episode or season. Can be Buffy, Angel, Dr. Horrible, Firefly...even Serenity. Whatever inspires you. Your haiku should be in the form of 17 syllables broken into three lines of five, seven, and five syllables.
  2. Post your haiku in the comments section along with what you’re basing it on.
  3. Submissions must be received by Sunday, September 28 to be part of the contest.
Now, just to get the ball rolling, here are a few of our own examples:
The Master killed me
but he didn't kill my strength
another is called
Prophecy Girl

A gift for my Dawn
A gift for my Destiny
A gift for my Life
Buffy Season 5 or The Gift
OK, let's do this! Come up with your own haikus and put them in the comments!

  1. Odd that I should discover this contest on the same day that I discover this.

    Incidentally, here's one just from the top of my head:

    Spike's now "The Doctor"?
    Riley says that things a bear?
    What the heck, people?!
