Lyra Jane, when I have the results, which may not be until late on Thursday night, do you want me to send them to you, or just post them myself?
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I want to use a couple of posts (Tim's and Joss' Firefly cancellation posts) in an essay about the Firefly campaign.
Have we ever hammered out a policy on quoting from the board? Proper citation?

Sorry, back to voting:
If I want no new threads but want a say in any thread we might get, then how do I vote?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Then you pick no new threads and the shows you'd vote for. I'm figuring there'll be some sort of subtraction performed to make sure you don't actually count towards the creating of new threads period, just that if they fly, you want to have a say in which ones.

Pretty much. It's understood this is a public board, but acknowledgement of who and where is considered polite.

I might interpret this as: No New threads! And The Seth is Mine and I'm willing to explain why.

So we have a title for The O.C. thread now, don't we.

And yet. you'd be wrong in your interpretation. Not that I need to explain how I voted, but it's kind of fun to point out the wrongness.

What is even happening?

LJ, Kat asked something I was wondering about. This is just a poll to see which, if any shows, Buffistas are interested in posting about.
When the results are tabulated, how are you going to construct the ballot? Will the people who want no new threads still get to enter that as a vote, somehow? I think I got confused, because the "no new threads" was on the poll, which I didn't expect. I thought that would be on the ballot. Also? I have a head cold which has moved to my chest, but not evacuated my head, and which is in the process of killing me, so I'm even more easily confused than usual (and probably more confusing, too).
Um...I hope I don't sound as foggy as I feel. Let me take this to example-ville. Let's say the poll results tell us that Lost, Veronica Mars, and Alias are the top three shows people most want to discuss, here.
What would the ballot look like? Will people still get to vote against any new threads, or only for one thread, or what?
