I know. I am on a campaign to get that changed. The FAQ is fun, but can be overwhelming, and is not immediately useful to the new poster like the How-to is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I tend to agree, Jesse.

Hey, I just noticed that the Buffy/Angel quotes have turned into Firefly quotes. Did we vote on this and I just missed it?

They haven't turned into, but they've been added to the mix, courtesy of Nilly. She may have submitted a bazillion, which means they're outcompeting the Buffy and Angel ones, which were rather few in number. There was no vote.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I just noticed that the Buffy/Angel quotes have turned into Firefly quotes.
I'm getting Buffy/Angel quotes, but at a much lower rate than Firefly quotes (i.e., it was about 5 +/- 2 refreshes before I got a non-FF just now). I lurve FF and haven't seen them as much as the B/A ones, but still, the randomization seems not so random just now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's perfectly computer-random. You want more Buffy/Angel quotes, you need to submit them.
For now, however, with 700+ Firefly quotes in there, you're going to get a lot of spacey goodness.

You want more Buffy/Angel quotes, you need to submit them.
To whom? For future reference.

Me, in a very specific format -- a text file, one per line:
t season # , t episode # , "charactername", "quotation", "<show initial=A, B, F, W>"
There can be NO double quotes in the quotation -- single quotes only.
I'm not sure what the NAFDA status is of Wonderfalls quotes is right now, so you can send them, but I won't authorise them for display until that's cleared up. Also, I'm not up for duplicate detection, so I can generate a full list of the 1000 quotes in the system at some later time so you can check before submission.

, , "charactername", "quotation", ""
Just to make sure I have this right, cause when I get the time, I'd love to submit:
2, 22, "Buffy", "Me.", "B"
Just not certain where you actually want carets and quotation marks in the formatting. Oh, and how does one format a dialogue?
2, 22, "Angel", "What's left?", "Buffy", "Me.", "B"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The carets are just place holders -- you can leave them out, or I'll strip them. For multi-character, following the formatting in the quotes displayed -- you'd submit:
2, 22, "", "Angel: What's left? Buffy: Me.", "B"
