Our wings are not tired

due to its nebulousness and short-term value.

Good riddance is a short term thread that seems to work well every year.

I second the Fall TV proposal.

I'll third. I may vote agin at, but I think it's worth discussing, plus ND makes a good point.

We don't necessarily need to put a specific year on it, for instance.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'll fourth it.

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

I think we're good.

Just out of curiousity, why do we wait until the vote's done to start another Lightbulb discussion? We can't vote on one thing and discuss another thing at the same time?

I think it helps build some breathing room into the process. There's a weird friction that builds up when too much bureaucracy happens at once. Sparky discussions from previous issues tend to land on the dry tinder of new topics. Better to space them out with a firebreak. Just my opinion.

That makes sense. Wouldn't want us to flame out.

Edited to put words together in a way that sense make.
