Time to get ready for SDCC Madness!

All across the interwebs you see planning for San Diego Comic Con. It has taken over every geek blog on the planet; it's inescapable. The kicker is that most of us are not going to San Diego Comic Con.


Despite my absence this year, I still wanna know what's happening at the con. Best way to stay up-to-date is that quick news site, Twitter! Here are a few bloggers that I will definitely be following intently during SDCC.  By no means is this all of the awesome people that will be tweeting this week.  For your convenience, we already created a handy twitter list with these and more!


GeekGirlDiva: She is one of those people at seems to know everyone and be everywhere! She will be hanging out at the Quantum Mechanics booth, guarding stuff that I want.


Amy_Geek: Amy will be part of multiple panels, getting all of the best news.


Buffyfest: Some of my fav whedon fans, they will be hunting down all of the Whedonverse actors and getting every juicy tidbit.


GeektoMe: Elliott will be roaming the panels and con floor. He always gets the best interviews and this time won't be any different.


TheNerdyBird: Jill will be my favorite resource on the floor this year, especially for any DCnU news.

This Month, Let's Work on Respect

I just had a conversation with my boss about respecting artists. It was in reference to the Spider-Man musical (she loved it and only one delay in the show) and how so many people were bashing it for technical problems. She brought up a great point. You should really respect anyone that can take an idea and create something brand new with it. I know how hard it is to just write these posts, so to take on the challenge of producing an entire musical with high-flying people is just impressive.

This made me think about some of the things I have seen and written. Have I really been practicing this respect? I had some pretty strong feelings toward Whit Anderson, and while in the end my comments may not have been too harsh, there are some members of the Buffy fan base that have taken things a step too far. While writing this post, I happened upon a couple bloggers that were writing about the same thing. Sean T. Collins of Robot 6 covered the "incident" between an angry fan and Dan Slott. Dan Slott later tweeted that the fan apologized but not before gaining a lot of internet attention. And over at The Beat, they covered a list of recent bashing and theft. The fact that this is coming up at all makes me sad.

Too many times have I seen bashing and hate in comment sections that is totally undeserved. Don't attack a person's character, especially since you don't even know them. If you don't like the show/movie/album/comic, don't say it in a totally negative way that insults an entire group of people. Try to be constructive so you can help this person grow. And, if you really think you can do it better, do it yourself. Until you give it a shot, you can't understand.

I still believe that the industry needs to learn to respect us fans. While it has been getting better, there is still work to be done. That can start with us respecting each other. There is too much geek hate for us to do it to each other. I hope that in this month of giving, we can all take the time to respect any creative ability.
