The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm not sure if this should go here, or Press, or where, but the Laista list got the not!paypal email scam asking us to update our information. The same email also went to my gmail account and my work account, so somehow they may have hacked into my email list, or that of one of my friends.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Lee, if you go into [link] you can set the list so that only members can post to it.

Actually, that's a good point, because I thought I already had. Guess I need to go do it again.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

Having watched some of my Wonderfalls DVDs (but not all), I thought I could peek into Minearverse 3 but some people are not using whitefont when they should be. Also, is there a policy on tagging unaired eps? Even if they're not explicitly spoilery, it takes away quite a bit of the punch when you hear a bit of dialogue for the first time in context that you've been seeing as a tag for weeks.

I know, I know - I should watch my eps and shut up. It just sucks to have to avoid B.org altogether when there's new stuff out that I haven't seen yet.

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

Were there others, arby? That one was really not telling you anything about the episode, but I whited it out anyway.

Thank you ita! I know that one wasn't too spoilery, it was more the principle of the thing (and because his stuff about the Message really is spoilery for FF). Others: Polter-Cow's message a little bit down (#4681) could stand to be whited out (from "you can see" through the end). I don't know if this is REALLY ridiculously anal but the documentary (which I've heard is spoilery) has a little anecdote that Matt tBf relates in #4682, which if I were posting I'd whitefont from after "I loved it when" to the "Also" (because it's not that shocking that Bryan Fuller is hot).

FF is fair game everywhere. So details about plot can crop up.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What P-C said is true of every episode.

I'd whitefont from after "I loved it when" to the "Also"

Do we usually whitefont references to commentary that have nothing to do with the show itself?

FF is fair game everywhere.

Everywhere, or just NAFDA? Minearverse is NAFDA, so FF is definitely fair game there, but I wanted to clarify.

What I gathered from his post was that there was something revealed in Safety Canary that shed light on the prior episodes.

Do we usually whitefont references to commentary that have nothing to do with the show itself?

I don't think we HAVE to (not in the spoiler policy IIRC), but if it's a funny or cute thing that people might want to see for themselves, I would do it. That's why I said "ridiculously anal".

re: FF - I know it's fair game, but it's not that hard to whitefont major plot spoilers. See "anal" above.

ETA I tend to err on the side of caution in regards to whitefont, so it's OK with me if Buffista policy is more liberal than my personal creed. Do we spell it out (beyond anything unaired etc. in NAFDA) anywhere for the mostly-on-DVD shows such as FF and WF?
