I'm in a writing slump... well a deeper pit than normal... myself. Joss Whedon's new project has waaaaaay too many similarities to one of the major underpinnings of my last NaNo (that I love and have been working on fleshing out and getting into shape to continue on).

Taking out that part would fundamentally change the story, it completely guts some of the technology that is necessary to make my main character who she is and since the plot revolves around her.... And if that weren't enough the ramifications of the technology are pretty obvious when you think about them so that makes the culture of my novel too close to what he seems to be going with in Dollhouse.

I've been jossed and I wasn't even writing fanfic for any of his stuff. :P It's ticking me off a bit because I like my story.

At this point I'm just trying to walk away and not think about it too much. (And not doing that well at it obviously.) The hype for shows often ends up not matching the actual show that closely and maybe he'll go off in a direction different enough from mine that I can work on my novel without the constant "no one will read this because they think I'm ripping off Joss" thoughts.
