I have betrayed Joss

I am a horrible person. There was a contest through an online magazine where you had to write, in 50 words or less, a scene where Jason Voorhees stabs some Hollywood celebrity. You could pick anyone you wanted. I decided to emulate Joss' writing style by stabbing him and Allyson Hannigan. The scene was meant to be complimentary, because I imagined him the tragic victim of haters.

But when I trimmed it down to 49 words, I had to cut out most of the substance, and that just left Jason stabbing two people in what I now realize reads as an angry reaction to Firefly's existence. I got an email back from the guy handling the contest. He said, "On a personal note, having seen Serenity, I totally agree with you." Why, oh why didn't I stab Fox executives instead?

I feel crappy. I'm sorry, everybody.
