Joss Whedon and Neil Gaiman interview
There’s an amazing interview with Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly) and Neil Gaiman (Sandman, Coraline, American Gods) over at Time.com. They discuss writing, blogging, fandom, and the end of the sci-fi/fantasy genre ghetto. As if you didn’t know, these two are super smart.

I heart Joss, but Gaiman’s got most of the gems in this one. My favorite:
"Yes. It really is this thing of executives loving the smell of their own urine and urinating on things. And then more execs come in, and they urinate. And then the next round. By the end, they have this thing which just smells like pee, and nobody likes it."
