The submissions for the Dollhouse Season One DVD contest are in, and I’ve selected ten finalists. And I’m really wishing I had hired a doll to help me do it. You people are creative.
Granted, the most common request was for a doll to help you win the contest itself. Then it was either for a doll to help you meet Joss Whedon, or to be Joss Whedon. Quite a few of you wanted to meet yourself, or see how others see you. Several of you specifically requested a doll to go deal with Fox executives, either in a businesslike manner or with massive firepower. And more than a few stressed that you could not in good conscience ever justify hiring a doll, but you wanted to win anyway 🙂
Here’s the ten I chose, more or less arbitrarily. They’re either representative of many similar ones, or they offer unique ways to use a very singular resource, or they just caught my eye. Now I need you to vote for the ones you like, up to three entries per voter. Names of entrants have been left out for privacy, although if the entrants themselves want to go public, hey, go wild. Some of the entries have been edited slightly, for space.
You can vote till 9 p.m. EST Wednesday, July 22. (Updated, and here’s why) After that the winner will be announced, and another winner will be randomly drawn from all the entrants. Good luck to everyone!

The see-saw’s the best; snappy and clever.
3 remind me of Lovely Bones among other things (one of those being another Dollhouse ep), asking for more wishes is the cliché answer to the genie question and I don’t think Rossum would allow it anyway, one is…Terminator-y among other things and I don’t think Rossum wouldl allow me personally to do it, one comes off more creepy than funny, one’s kind of boring, gender-bending is common in sci-fi (and technically can be done irl), Rossum does not want to cure cancer.
