If Joss is writing X-Men, does that make the X-Men Jossverse?

I would say no, since Joss didn't invent the characters. He will be operating under Marvel's restraints as to what he can do. If he wants to kill somoene off, he'll have to get approval from the editors.

Should we change the thread title regardless?

I'm in favor of just changing the thread description.

I sas a full-sized pink bunny suit in the window of the costume shop the other day. So. Tempting.

Surprisingly unrelated to that item, ita insent.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

How long before we kerfuffle?

There should be fluffing before kerfluffing, just for balance.

And I'm pretty sure we're going to need a title for the thread where we discuss the unaired Wonderfalls eps, but nobody wants to help me!

How 'bout "Surrender To Destiny"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone watch Google's PageRanking? I'm pretty sure we shot up 1.5 points in the past month.

When I installed my Google toolbar, both [link] and [link] had a (3/10) ranking. Now [link] has a 5/10, and [link] a 4/10.

What does the page ranking mean, ita?

And as for the thread title and slug: I liked "Lovesick, my ass" for the thread title. Slug could be something like, "Surrender to destiny and discuss unaired episodes of Wonderfalls here. Please don't request copies."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's "Google's measure of the importance of this page." I think it's generated by how many people link to it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Do we want "Wonderfalls" in the slug? I thought we wanted it to be more stealthy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who are we hiding from? Search engines or humans? Do search engines rank proximity? Because the front page will come up for wonderfalls spoilers anyway. Not putting Wonderfalls in the slug might make it come up less high, but the basic ship has sailed.

I couldn't remember which way we had gone on that, Jon. I thought it was okay to have it in the slug 'cos it isn't Googleable?
