Whedonesque.com (also referred to as Whedonesque and spelled in the site's logo as of 2006 as WHEDONesque) is a collaborative weblog devoted to the works and everything related to the works of Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon. The site is most famous for the fact that Whedon himself blogs on the site, and uses it as one of his main means of communication with fans, on topics ranging from releases of or related to his works, to the canonical or non-canonical nature of certain related works (such as comic books), to any number of other things. Whedon first admitted to reading the blog in late 2004[1]. Posts on Whedonesque.com are frequently quoted, referenced or cited in discussions and articles about Whedon and his works[2][3].
Whedonesque posters, responding to Whedon's posts on the 2007-08 Writers Guild of America strike, initiated acts of support for the writers which quickly grew into a multi-fandom movement dubbed Fans4writers.
The site does allow those other than Whedon and those involved in his projects to post blog entries, and has in the past maintained brief periods of open registration, however, registration is more often closed to those not involved (as actors, writers, producers, etc.) in his projects. Posters to the site are usually referred to as "Whedonesquers".
