What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

TWOP probably has less static URLs than the rest.

Yeah, kind of when I check referrers to my blog from here: the post_id is different depending on the user's particular navigation (how many new posts he's going through and how many at a time). Since TWoP has fifteen posts per page, there'd be fifteen different URLs that could display the post with the link. No, wait, TWoP doesn't work that way; each page always has the same posts, but when you begin browsing, it will anchor you to your oldest new post, which, depending on when you hit the post with a link, may cause the referrer URL to be different.

...or something.

All is well that ends in pizza.

So maybe we should just re-purpose Lovesick, My Ass for Wonderfalls DVDs for a while, then fold the thing and kick everyone into Minearverse.

I mean, discussion of the unaired eps is already in LMA, so why not go with it.

Just a suggestion, as it never really got that much traffic after December, and it's a shame to close it under 1000 posts....

:(

Um.

Not all of us are receiving the DVD's this week, so a delay of a few weeks would be nice.

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

Let's not start keeping threads open for pity. It's a decent place for people to go after they've seen everything, but discussion is going to be a minefield until then -- is that your proposition? That it's no holds barred blackfont on every episode?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I would prefer the two week white font followed by open market. Myself, I won't be getting the dvds for a while, so I'll just avoid the thread once we make a call (which we should do soon), just like I'm doing with LotR.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

You know, that "No Referrer" really gives us a lot of hits. We should look into that site.

I made no proposition.

I made a suggestion, followed by a statement expressing that it was a shame that it was under-used after December.

Sorry, DCJ. What I should have said is:

LeN, that's totally my favourite site. Spend hours there every day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is Lovesick currently all black-font, all the time? If so, I'd think it should stay like that for a while, until it seems fair that people who care have seen all the Wonderfalls. No idea how long that should be. Do we have an extant policy? Then discussion can just roll into Minearverse.

Yup.

It just seems that if the discussion continues all black font, no one who hasn't seen them all yet can go in safely. So it's of limited use as a contingency show location -- it's only for some of the people watching.

Whitefonting (while indicating which episode) seems the best way for everyone to play together, in whichever thread.

What was the delay/procedure for Firefly?
