"Dollhouse" has a fan-run website.
It didn't take long, but now we have a website for the new Whedon-Minear-Dushku series. It also has links to MySpace, Facebook and LiveJournal sites

About membership.
Joss, I swear you are the only guy in the 'verse that can command this kinda crazy fandom love.
I take it the t-shirts and comic books are coming next week.

Uh, there's been like at least two or three threads on the front page here about the new show already. Heh.

Dang work keeps me from what's really important.
In any case, I see that this is for real. I'm so excited!

I'm thinking Joss/Tim/Eliza glowy montage followed by the Grr...Arrg guy making a brief but meaningful cameo.
Then, close in on a Barbie Dreamhouse (the money shot)
And Fade To "Dollhouse - Coming in 2008"
It's baffling that I don't have a job in Hollywood, isn't it?
kerfuffle | November 01, 17:50 CET
As somebody just pointed out to me, I think this means the Grr Arrgh man will be back. Sod the show, just bring that back.

Lets just all make some fake stuff, like synopsis for season minus 1 or something and photoshopped pictures *g*

So don't feel bad. Also, I have a question! Gossi, I don't understand what you are in relation to Fox/FOX/Joss. Super-fast-website-making-fan? Or something more?
I am very out of it.
sumogrip | November 01, 19:39 CET
I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself! Awesome Super Very Excited Club T-shirts.
lexigeek | November 01, 19:41 CET
Jobo, I have absolutely no relationship with Joss whatsoever, even in a Clinton sense. I'm just a fan of his work - it's, in fact, Awesome Super Very 'xciting!
gossi | November 01, 19:49 CET
Any lunch with Eliza or Joss would be already original
impalergeneral | November 01, 19:57 CET
I signed up.
pollaxt | November 01, 20:00 CET
Awesome Super Very Xcited Club ? I'm in, so long as it's "Not Mandatory !".
And who is working on the 'Joss and Eliza having lunch' figurines?
Or a Joss, err, "on the job" figurine ? We could call it "Joss Takes a Moment", complete with hand-carved platitude: "When Inspiration Strikes, Don't Just Flush it Away".

Saje I laughed really loud when I read that... like the god awful annoying kind...

Squeeeee! Can't wait until stupid work is over so I can order one! :)
And now I'm wondering if my prediction of Dollhouse T-shirts by Friday night will already be a day late...

Like I said in the original post (I'm #398 w/my first post) I'm so excited I'm already coming up with fanfic ideas.
Joss is coming back to the small screen! And even us regular folk (Read: Those too poor to afford cable/dish) will get to see the show! And fill up all the websites w/episode discussions & character analysis.
YAY!!!

Nicely done, Gossi.

Actual, JMS - creator of B5 - pioneered it. Joss was delightfully random in comparison.
That lots of different writers posted to The Bronze was pretty amazing.
I do second your want for a production blog, though. Keep us up-to-date on the closest thing to a sure-thing in Hollywood - a 7 ep commitment!
crossoverman | November 01, 22:20 CET
So, as another Super Awesome Very Excited Fan, I wonder if it would be
premature for the fandom to show their appreciation for those nice guys at FOX.
Perhaps we could send them dolls? Or lunch? Or dolls having lunch?
Maybe just a postcard of Eliza & Joss dolls, you know, lunching?
I'll stop now...

Yeah, bitter. Deal.

Tshirts have started appearing on Spreadshirt.
And there's this freakishly cool poster by somebody else not me.
gossi | November 02, 07:49 CET
Saje | November 02, 08:06 CET
Also, I love how the domain name is already expecting that the show will blossom into its own "verse." Knowing Joss, even if FOX ends up being FOX again, it still will.
Also, I haven't commented on the show yet, so: this is so cool.
WilliamTheB | November 02, 08:14 CET
I must confess, it was the 'Angel' wings that did it for me.
And I have set aside a shiny nickel for the first person to post links to Joss's concept poster.
(Re the 'Save Dollhouse' talk, could you possibly imagine the fan campaign we'd run if FOX stuffed this up? There'd be beheaded dolls flying about all over the place. Scary.)
missb | November 02, 08:46 CET
The great thing here, I think, is the concept is pinging with people. Folk are going, 'Oh, you could do this with it... Maybe this will happen'. That's great, because it was a lot harder to do that with, say, limited information about Firefly.
gossi | November 02, 08:47 CET
Also:
Now, that should be on a t-shirt. Maybe in could feature on the back of some of those ASVE-shirts ;-).
Plus: I've also signed up. Yes sir.

Which is sort of hilarious, in and of itself, but still :-). Anyone else having that particular problem?

How is it that an actor like Dushku is given an opportunity to create a show and bring on whomever she wants when someone like Whedon who has a track record can't? (people seem to get a bit touchy around here so i'll say clearly that I have nothing but respect for the actress, but the story about how DH came about seems strange to me, an outsider to the biz.)
Or maybe i misread, and she was just given an opportunity to pitch an idea (just like Whedon could have) and FOX liked it?

IrrationaliTV | November 02, 13:36 CET
I want Joss to tell me things in his own, maddeningly slow way. Not "I know everything that's going to happen in the entire committed arc and beyond" before I've seen opening credits.
But, dang dudes and dudette's! Joss is gonna have a TV show! I'm so excited. I don't know where 'squeeee' comes from, but SQUEEEE -- Yee-hee and double squeeeeee!
I'm glad it's a new 'verse, and not a Faith thing. He's said he has more verses, and I'd like to see them. (Not that I would object if there were more in the Serenifly verse, truncated as it was.)
tehabwa | November 02, 13:51 CET

Actually Cabri i had a few online by lunchtime in the UK, not sure if the rules here permit me to link so I'm not, I'll start a thread over on dollverse.com shortly, so you're alright with your prediction.

Additionally, Kiba has officially started the most important bit of the DOLLHOUSE campaign - the Awesome Super Very Excited Club. I can't see how Joss is going to escape that one now.
If anybody is wondering, this site (Dollverse, not Whedonesque) pushed more traffic in the first 24 hours than we saw for DriveFans. In DriveFans first year.
