Stuck behind my table at MCM Comic Expo a couple of weeks back I was gutted I didn’t get the chance to meet Jane Espenson a wonderful writer who has lent her pen to a wide variety of wonderful shows (and comics) including many favourites of mine such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gilmore Girls, Angel, Firefly, Ellen, Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse.
I’ve learnt lots about writing from listening to her interviews and discussions on various podcasts.
I managed to scrawl out a Lucy the Octopus style doodle of her and some of the characters she’s written. Fortunately the very friendly podcaster Stephen Lacey was kind enough to pass it on to Jane when he made it to her signing table.
I’m looking forward to trying her new online sitcom Husbands!
Lucy style! Admiral Adama and President Laura Roslin (Battlestar Galactica). Jane Espenson. Luke Danes, Lorelai Gilmore and Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls). Xander Harris, Buffy Sommers and Dark Willow (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
