If it has been "aired" (and with DVDs, I'd assume aired meant released) then NAFDA applies, or do I have that compeltely wrong?
I'm talking about the time period right after the DVDs are released - we just said that for Wonderfalls we were going to use whitefont for 3 or 4 weeks, I misremember which.
Are people not doing that, aside from the occasional slip-up?
No, they are - I'm just being anal - I know it won't come up again for a while (if ever). It would just be nice to have it in there so we wouldn't have to hunt through Bureau or ask in the thread when it's OK to post.
Right, Brenda, it's a courtesy thing. But according to NAFDA, that's all it was, a courtesy thing. I'm a big user of whitefont, but I don't expect people to do it for me in NAFDA places.
OK.
The Firefly DVD release had an ad hoc blackfont delay time in the thread itself, to give people a chance to actually watch.
The thread had other discussion happening, though, and the spoiler thread with UK discussion.
Yeah, I recall the Firefly spoiler thread went from spoilers no problem to ...we have to white font spoilers for unaired eps and that confused the hell out of me. But that's because I wasn't reading Bureaucracy at all. Now that I'm reading this thread, I understand buffistas.

It's a sad, sad, didactic slide down this particular rabbit hole.
Do we have any suggestions for a name for the new Great Write Way? "Volume II" or "Second chapter" are the obvious.
I'm suggesting: "Chapter Two: Twice upon a time..."
