The next book and date of discussion is going to be edited into the first post of the thread, so it will be easily accessible for people who don't read the thread but may want to jump in. I don't know that people who don't read the thread can be expected to remember that, though.

I think posting the next book in Press makes it inviting for people who haven't been able to catch up, or feel hesitant about busting in. I was wondering earlier if it would be appropriate to just read and comment on some of the books, as I had time, since I know I won't be able to keep up with all of them. If I see the post in Press, it will tell me the book and remind me that I'm welcome, even if I can't be there all the time, so I like the idea.

What is even happening?

Just to make it clear, absolutely. That's one of the reasons I didn't propose "club" as part of the names, when I was suggesting names. It's a Buffista thread. If we're reading one you're reading, or have read, or want to read too, then come and play.

I also like the announcing of the book in the press thread.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Agreed that posting in Press is good.
It's one post a month -- not enough to clog things up. And unlike new eps in the show thread, there isn't any event (like watching a new ep) to remind you to re-sub.

Agreed. Once a month posts should be fine.

Hey. New board.
Huh. I was automatically italicized by a post that's very old, over in Buffy. That's kind of cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not the age, it's the proximity.
