Posted by Tabz On May - 2 - 2009 2 COMMENTS

In this episode Tabz discusses why she doesn’t feel like a Browncoat (and why it makes her sad) and asks for your feedback. Does being a Whedon fan make you less of a Browncoat?

Tabz also reads an iTunes review jubliee (thanks!). And she explains why iTunes reviews are awesome.

Story:

Title: Duct Tape
Author: sunscald
Read by Nuchtchas
Character and/or pairing: Dr. Horrible, Captain Hammer
Word count: 1,700 words
Rating: PG, although if there was a warning for Death by Puns? This would earn it.
Summary: Duct tape, in Dr. Horrible world? Is worlds of fabulous. This began from the random worldview musing that it seemed awfully easy to make a Death Ray. Just slap a piece of duct tape on the side of a random gun and write “Death Ray” in white. So…what else can be done with duct tape?
Disclaimer: I wish I were an Oscar-Meyer Whedon, but I am unfortunately not.
