You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The Angel thread still has plenty of room.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Or just post in Boxed Set.

HA! We just said anything Sci-Fi or fantasy is game for the thread, so Buffy talk is not even off-topic.

Up with the sun

My proposal for the temporary Buffy thread was:

Also, can we get a temporary Buffy 5? We could call it something like "Buffy 5: Slayers all come with expiration dates," then change to something better after the vote.

I'd rather not unofficially combine Buffy & Angel before the vote, but I'd prefer that to posting in Boxed Set. So I would rank the options:

1. Open a new, possibly short-lived Buffy thread.
2. Put Buffy talk in Angel.
3. Put Buffy talk in Boxed Set.
4. Don't talk about Buffy at all for a week.

What is even happening?

I'd rather not unofficially combine Buffy & Angel before the vote
Lyra, that horse is glue.

(Which is not to say I think the vote itself is a foregone conclusion. I don't. I'm just speaking to temporary housing, and unofficial thread uses. Both the BtVS and A:ts threads are multi-purpose in practice, so I don't think it's horrible to use Angel if we have pressing Buffy thoughts in the mean while).

Also, we were talking about the setup for the Angel series in the thread when it closed - that discussion, at least, could transfer over seamlessly.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I know we're in the middle of the Buffy/Angel vote, but I have a Point of Clarification question. Does the Boxed Set redefinition need a vote? Or is it Bullshit consensable, and, if so, do we have one?

Boxed Set is consensable.

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

Have we consensed on the spoiler policy yet?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'd like to see Boxed Set go to roman numerals, but it's only a personal thing, and not a whining point. Boxed Set Volume II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!" looks right with a serif based font, NSM with verdana, arial, etc, etc.

However the moving the named shows to the slug seems appropriate, and the spoiler font as draft proposed, with small additions seems to work. We could always alter it for clarification afterwards.

How about:

Boxed Set Vol. 2: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
